My Pinterest Fall Projects

So I finally did some projects especially for the fall.  Take a look!  I have included a link to each of the blogs I got the ideas from.



Masterpieces- I made the boards and cut the vinyl letters out with a Cricut machine.  I fell in love with the Cricut machine!  The boards took a few hours just because of drying time.

Halloween Banner- Lots of work but cute.  It is in my front window so I couldn't get the best picture.

Prayer Pail- This is my pail that we use at night.  Each stick has a prayer request or family name and we pray for one or two sticks each night.

French Toast Bake

Yesterday we had breakfast for dinner and it was delicious!  I made this yummy tasty French Toast bake.  I had to share the recipe.

French Toast

1 lb French Bread 1 ½ inch slices
4 Eggs
2 cups of Milk
1 teaspoon of Cinnamon
¼ cup vanilla
3 Tablespoons of Sugar
4 Tablespoons of Butter

Crumb Topping
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup soft butter
¼ cup oatmeal
½ teaspoon Cinnamom
¼ cup of chopped Pecans (optional)


Place 1 ½ inch thick bread into greased 9 x 13 pan.  Combine first 5 ingredients and pour over bread- turn over after 10 minutes (bread) until all is absorbed.  Put thin slices of butter on each piece.  Refrigerate Overnight

In the morning, preheat over at 500 degrees
Bake 15 minutes flip over pieces then add topping on each slice and bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Organizing Freezer

I finally conquered the freezer.  I spent about 10 minutes organizing my freezer with these baskets from Dollar Tree.  I have the following baskets:

• Frozen Fruit
• Frozen Veggies
• Frozen Vegetarian "meatless" products
• Meats
• Breakfast Foods

I may get another one for popsicles but I don't want to use up all the space in my freezer.

This simple organizing has made getting into the freezer so much easier.

Fall Decorations

On Pinterest I came across this fun, simple idea for Halloween/Fall.  I was excited to do it.

The first vase has candy corn and a candle.  The second has fake pumpkins with a bow.
I bought the vases at Michael's on clearance for $2.99 and the pumpkins were in small packages for $1.49 each.  The candy corn was $1 per bag at the Dollar Store.  I had the ribbon and candle.  I love the size of the vases - not to small and not to big just perfect for my table.  I really love them.

Fall Subway Art Printable

I was on Pinterest and found this cute sign.  I printed it and then bought this frame at Michael's for $6.99.  I love it because I can use it for different seasons too!

Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

In my hours of searching on Pinterest I came across this picture...

 

I said to myself...I HAVE TO MAKE THESE!  On Sunday it was my turn to take a treat for church and thought this is perfect.  I always make chocolate covered pretzels and people love them.  So I thought who wouldn't love these.  They went SO fast because they were delicious.  I made them on Sunday morning before church because I was too lazy on Saturday but good thing I waited or else I would have been in trouble.

Check out the blog where I found them!

Simple Organizing Tip: Magazine Holder

I found this idea on Pinterest from a blog http://www.chicaandjo.com/.

I thought it was a great idea for organizing- aluminum foil, press-n-seal, baggies...I didn't use a scrapbooking size I just bought a magazine holder from Target.  Cute and red for $3 on Clearance.  I have it on top of my frig and it is so cute!
