Dollar Tree Bell Makeover
Dollar Tree Bell Makeover Pin me! – Pinterest Watch me! – YouTube (Coming soon) A while back one of my sweet followers shared with me a picture of a bowl that she painted to look like enamel ware. Along with the picture she also explained the technique she used to achieve the enameled look. With that in mind I knew I had to try something similar with these bells from the dollar tree. Except I didn’t want the enamel wear look, I wanted the rusty look. Using her technique along with a few products from Walmart I was able to achieve the rusty look I was going for. Let…

Turkey Kielbasa Stir Fry
Turkey Kielbasa Stir Fry I mainly share recipes that my family enjoys, but once in awhile I like to share a recipe that I do not particularly care for but has rave reviews by others. One of those is this recipe for Turkey Kielbasas Stir Fry. This is one of my mom’s recipes. She also happens to be a genius in the kitchen, which is probably where I get it from! When I get stuck or need some inspiration I normally turn to her for advice. As mentioned, this is not on my favorite recipes, and it’s mostly due to the fact that it includes onions and peppers. Those…
