Monday Made It- Cute Clothespins & An Easy, Delicious Recipe!

Happy Monday Made It! 

I've started {a little tiny bit} to think about school... Just a little, though!!!

I got this great idea from Corinna at Surfin' Through Second (she's AMAZING!) to use Washi tape (oh boy is this stuff fun!) to create cute clothespins. Last summer I did the whole glitter clothespins (which I loved and turned out so cute) but this year I wanted a little change :)


Look how cute those turned out!!! (Not to mention they were SUPER easy to make!!!) Just stick the Washi tape on the clothespin, and trim the edges off with a razor- or just fold it over! 

I'm going to use them to display student work on top of that polka dot paper!!! 

Speaking of Washi tape- have you seen this app???


It allows you to add virtual Washi tape (and text) to pictures on your iDevice! :) Fun! 

AND speaking of easy to make- here's an insanely easy summer recipe for you! And I am by NO means a chef or cook AT ALL, so if I can make this, you can too! 

Prep time takes less than 10 minutes!


You'll need:

About a pound of chicken tenders (or chicken breasts work too!)
Italian dressing
Louisianna hot sauce 
That's it! 


Throw the chicken in a gallon size ziplock bag, and add about 4(ish) ounces of Italian dressing and 3(ish) ounces of Louisiana hot sauce (the more hot sauce you add, the hotter the chicken will be).


Let it marinate in the fridge for however long you want! ;-) I usually let it sit all day; you could also prep it the night before and have it ready to go! 

Throw it on the grill for about 10-15 minutes- 


Make sure you've got a Grill Supervisor just IN CASE any chicken FALLS off the grill!!! ;-) 


And you've got yourself a yummy summer meal! 


Goes great with corn and fruit! Yum! :) AND it's good as leftovers too- I take it for lunch all the time! 

Make sure to head over to Tara's for Monday Made It!

It's Turkey Time!!! Craft FREEBIE!

Time to take down the pumpkins and get out the turkeys!!!!

We just realized today that there are only SIX school days until Thanksgiving break!!!! SIX!!!! Ohmygoodness where does the time go!?!?! Sometimes I want to cry because there are so many things I want to do and not enough time. Ever! :-( 

Anyways... you can bet we'll rock the turkeys for those six days!!!

So... I decided to be dumb brave and whip out the paint for a turkey project. 

I was inspired by this pin:

(Can you see why I was brave....hands in paint!!!??? LOTS of different colors of paint!?!? Eeeek!) 

So cute! 

They did turn out adorable....



And now I have a flock of turkeys waiting to be hung up on our wall!
