Turn Glue Into Cheap Paint

Right now with all the sales on School supplies you can get a lot of things for almost nothing. A little while ago I got Elmer's glue for .10 cents each. So I thought I could use some of my acrylic paints to put in the glue to make some paints for my boys. The best part is, that there isn't a lot of mess involved. All they have to do it squeeze the glue bottle to draw pictures, no paint everywhere. Great right? So here is what I did to make this supper cheap paint.

 Get whatever colors you want to make and some white Elmer's glue

You have to dump our some of the glue to make it easy to mix. I dump it about to the top of the triangle with the label "Elmer's" in it.

 (You need to shake like crazy to get it mixed, get ready for an arm workout)

Finished now you have some fun, cheap paints for your kids. The fun part is when the paint dries it is raised a little. Your kids will love painting and drawing things with these. Don't forget to follow my blog I will return the favor :)

DIY Face Scrub

Do you want glowing soft skin? It is so simple. All you need is:

3TBS of Baking Soda

1TBS of water

Sometimes I will squirt a little lemon juice in it too.

Mix it all up to make a paste, rub it all over your skin and leave on for 5 mins

This does kind of itch (at least on me) As you rub it all on your face you can feel a little bit of exfoliation going on. You want to make sure you rinse your face with really warm water so it doesn't leave a residue on your face and it all comes off. Then I like to follow off with a spray of ASEA(www.nelson.teamasea.com) and a little bit of Avenno stress relief lotion. Go try it, you will be surprised at how soft your face will feel with some glowing going on!!
Say hello to healthy, glowing skin!

One of my favorite Organization Tips

As many of you know I am a big coupon shopper. If you are like me, I don't like to just throw stuff in bins or baskets when I get a great sale on an item. (you forget what you have and how many you have) One of my favorite things is organizing and make things look nice. :) This is one of my favorite things I have......my Peg board! You can put anything you buy at the store, that can be hung up. This way you can see what you have without just stuffing it somewhere and forgetting about it. It all hangs and looks so clean and nice. If I had a basement I would have a whole wall designated for a peg board, but I don't so I just have one in a closet along the whole back wall. It works great!!! Here are some pictures of parts of it to give you an idea. My son says we have our own store when he sees it! :) Please don't forget to follow my blog, thanks :)

Kitchen Makeover

I LOVE to decorate. It is always so fun to see the results of where you started and end. I know a lot of people are afraid of the color red, but I think if you have the right tone it works great! The color I used in my kitchen is "Posh Red" by Valspar signature paint. I would love to paint my cabinets white at some point. I just need to wait for summer time :) Here is the before and after pictures. Enjoy and don't be afraid to use bold colors!
