Mini Chicken Pot Pies=YUMMY!!


 
 
These are super fast and easy and delicious!
Ingredients are: 1 can of biscuits, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 2 cooked chicken breasts, cubed. 1 can of Veg-All mixed vegetables, Pam cooking spray.
 
Spray muffin pans with cooking spray. Preheat oven to the temperature noted on your biscuits. Roll out or flatten biscuits and place in muffin tin. I used a Grand flakey biscuits and actually pulled them into two sections. Mix soup, veg-all, butter and chicken in a pan. Heat and mix well.
Fill each biscuit with mixture and pinch the edges up. Bake as long as your biscuits require.
 
I have added a pic of my mixture so you can see what it looks like. If these are too salty for your taste, use the salt-free mixed veg-all.
Enjoy!
 
 

I made my first Children's Quiet Book.... aka Busy BoOk for kids

I have two granddaughters that I have decided to make Quiet Books for. I have one made and wanted to share it. I'm currently working on the other and will have pictures of that as soon as I'm done.
A quiet book is for younger kids, made from cloth and felt and used to keep them busy at times you need them to be quietly occupied.
The book is a fun play thing, yet a learning tool.

I really had no idea how to assemble these books and have had a little bit of trouble finding instructions online. But Pinterest and YouTube are great sources. I've made several mistakes but all in all, the book turned out pretty well.

Each page is different with a fun activity. Here are the pages for this book...the next book I am making will have all different pages.





























Cute Room Divider...Yard Sale Find!!

Hey yall,
My house is quite unique and I love it! There are a few things that I've had to be imaginative about due to the unusual layout of my home.
I have a bedroom that doesn't have a door. So, to add privacy, I added a curtain room divider. I bought these at a yard sale for dirt cheap, like $2.00
Then instead of attaching a curtain rod to my wall I just used a white shower curtain rod that I already had on hand. A tension rod!
Also, the curtain casing was too small to over the shower rod, so I flipped them over and used the hem of the curtain as the casing. I could always have hemmed them but this turned out to be a simple no-sew!
I used a scarf that I picked up at local thrift store for .25, as a tie back. For more privacy it came be let down.
I have four panels swung to the side, but you could divide them in the middle and tie them back on both sides. And tie-back ideas are endless. :)
