Making a Flower Pot Candy Dish
By Sandi/Poor But Proud
Even with the mistakes, I think this was a lovely learning endeavor. I have three more I am will be making soon, but this one is all done.
Removing Spots on Pots and Pans
By PENNY K
Found an otherwise nice large pizza pan with perforated holes in free box at moving sale. It was covered front and back with dried on grease spots (the tan sticky kind) and I wondered if I could save it because it was a nice heavy aluminum one, good for crispy crusts.

I love candy apples but have not eaten one in years. I don't want to take a chance on breaking a tooth or a crown. I had a little strawberry glaze left over after making a Strawberry Delight cake from a recipe on Thriftyfun. (Link below)

If you love cheese, this is a great way to change up your eggs in the morning. Cooking the cheese in butter and heavy cream right under the eggs gives this one-pan dish an amazing cheesy layer, very reminiscent of au gratin potatoes. The eggs will cook perfectly on top, and when you cut into them, you'll get a little of both. It is oh so good!

By likekinds
I have a half acre field adjoining my home lot. Except for grass cover, it's pretty bleak. There is one lone pecan tree right in the middle. I decided to add a point of interest to the tree.
Make miniature treat baskets with pin dot cardstock papers and embellishments to celebrate spring or Easter.
