Dollar Tree DIY Easter Wreath
Whoooop! This DIY Dollar Tree wreath is super easy! I don’t normally make wreaths. In fact, I have a pin board on Pinterest that’s called, “Wreaths I’ll Probably Never Make”. If I can do it, anyone can!
Here’s what you’re gonna need: Glue Gun, glue sticks, scissors, zip ties
From Dollar Tree: 2 packages colored eggs, rabbit sign (they have several that would work), two round wire wreath forms, Spanish moss, wire ribbon.
1. When you take the eggs out of the packaging, save the carton part and the raffia that is tied around the package. You’ll use them both. Tear the packages up and hot glue the pieces to one of the wire forms. This will prevent the moss from falling thru the back.
2. Hot glue the moss onto the paper, creating a nest effect.
3. Hot glue eggs onto the moss. This way you won’t have to chase them around when you put the top on. They will stay in place better.
4. Place the other wire wreath form on top. Secure with zip ties and cut off the excess. I used three. You can use as many as you see fit.
5. Remove bunny from original sign. You may want to use the other parts of the sign later, so don’t throw them away. At this point, I took off the bow and used the raffia from the egg carton to jazz it up. Then I added back the original bow on top of the new bow. Cute!
6. I made a bow for the top out of the wire ribbon and hot glued it all down.
7. Ta-Da!!!
Cooking Without Photos – Goulash
This time we make a short drive to Benton, AR.
Other than having the best VFW around and being home to the famous Brown’s Catfish (now closed), did y’all know that Benton used to have 13 pottery firms? Yes! Thirteen!
Apparently, kaolin (a type of richly colored clay) was found in and around the Benton area. Folks made all kinds of things out of it and sold it for a profit. In fact, at the turn of the twentieth century it was Benton’s primary industry. The most famous being Niloak Pottery.
This week’s recipe came from, “A Taste Of Heaven: A Collection Of Recipes By Northside Church Of Christ Ministries”.
Believe it or not, but I’ve never made goulash before. Our Mama made it for us, but I’ve never tackled it. This was a super easy recipe. I did have to use the suggested small can of tomato sauce and also about a half of a cup of water. Just use your judgement. Enjoy!
Cooking Without Photos – Marinated Macaroni Salad
Here’s a midweek recipe from the previously shared cookbook, “Reflections of Beary Good Cooking: From England First Baptist Youth Group”.
If you like boxed Suddenly Salad, you’ll never make it again after trying this side. One thing with this Marinated Macaroni Salad. If you think you’ll have leftovers, put your cheese to the side and add in as you plate. That way your cheese won’t get soggy when you re-refrigerate. If you’re taking it to a pot luck, go ahead and add that cheese in. There’s not going to be any left❤️
