China Hutch-Craigslist Find

My parents happen to winter in a really great craigslist area.  They have been able to find me all kinds of awesome furniture at great prices to furnish our new house.  All the furniture was a ton of work but it was so worth the time and effort I had to put into it. 

This beauty was really rough when we got it.  It had an awful texture on it.  It was like the previous owners sprayed sand mixed with paint all over it.  It was think.  It was NASTY.  It was not so much fun to remove.  I did use my favorite citrus paint remover (its non toxic) to remove the layers and layers of nastiness.  

I haven't finished the cupboard yet...the doors on the bottom needed new hinges.  The only hinges I could find didn't have the right holes.  So I need to get that fixed and then it will be a 100% new to me awesomely fun china hutch!

My Memories-Software Review and GIVEAWAY

Yippee for a GIVEAWAY!  This one I am SO excited for!



So, when I was approached by MyMemories Suite to review their scrapbooking software I was REALLY excited.  I have been really wanting some software like this to mess around in.  I don't scrapbook but I have LOTS of uses for this.  I had about 20 minutes this morning to sit down after I had downloaded the software to try making something before I had to leave for an appointment.

I honestly didn't think I could make something in 20 minutes. I just wanted to try it out.  This program is really easy to navigate.  It is REALLY user friendly.  Seriously I have never used a scrapbooking software before.  EVER.  I am so in love!

So I made a practice version of a Christmas Card for this year.  I did not have to download any of those embellishments (or even pay extra).  I didn't even have to do anything fancy for those words that have boxed the picture.  The program did it all for me. Seriously it is AMAZING


If you do decide (which I would HIGHLY recommend) to purchase the Memory Suite you can use this unique code STMMMS83065 to receive $10 off!  That is an awesome deal!

 Two (well actually 3 but you only see 2 :) Flower applique rag quilts laid out and waiting for approval.  I just LOVE the turquoise quilt...too bad I can't just keep it for myself. lol!

Check ME Out Saturday Week 80 Highlights

Here are a few my favorite links from this last week:


 Apple Butter with Life on Walnut Street.  Last year I canned apple butter for the first time.  It turned out great.  I don't really know what everyone else uses apple butter for but I have been using it in Banana Bread (I make it ALL the time for my 2 yr old cause she LOVES it :)  Anyway, I substitute apple butter for 1/2 of the shortening and for 1/2 the sugar.  It makes the bread REALLY moist.  It would work great for Zucchini bread as well

 Chameleon Girls made some cake pops.  I ordered a bunch of these from Pick Your Plum as well a while ago and just haven't had time to do anything with them.  I am thinking I need some whipping cream and fruit for a nice after school snack for my Kindergartener.  Any other ideas?!?

Blissfully Ever After re did her laundry room.  Its definitely ADORABLE!  I am going to do something similar in a while with my laundry room
