Frugal Repurpose!

Ok, so a few years ago, a family member gave us a metal Futon bed.  They didn't have the 'bed cushion' to go with it though, and we never found a place for the bed anywhere in our tiny home. So, it lived in our garage.  We looked into buying a cushion for it, but they were expensive!!!  So, we now have TWO gate doors for our Chicken fence. :) Hubby hung the second section yesterday and it looks great!  We'll cover these w/ chicken wire so the young birds can't escape their LARGE fenced area.  Getting the 30 hens next week! Very exciting!

My new suit...bathing suit! eek!

Well, today I bought a bathing suit. AHHHHHH.  It was quite the spur of the moment decision. AND the next spur of the moment decision is to POST pictures of it here. ha ha

To the BEACH! Ok...when it warms up. Because, seriously? That bod needs some SUN! ha ha

Size Large peeps! That's a 12 in a bathing suit! AMEN...can I hear an AMEN???

Pie in a Jar - oh yes

Ok...so this is a YUMMY post. Sorry...no, I did NOT partake of the yummy goodness of the pie. sigh. However! Mr. Eye Candy DID...and I got a thumbs UP on this one!!!  Here is what I made!

Cherry Pie in a Jar. Mason jars. I used Pint jars, but you can use smaller JAM jars which is what I'm gonna use next time. I wanted to try this out though, and didn't have JAM jars. :) OK....this was awesome!!! EASY too!

I cheated and used store bought pie crust (but will make my own in future). Place into jars, just tear them apart and stick them in there!  I then added the PIE filling...cherry NO FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP kind. You use your lid to 'cut out' the shape for the top.  I just free handed the heart cut out with a little knife.
BAKE at 375 for 40 min. or so...as it starts to turn brown on top...there ya go. Done.  I will add LESS yummy goodness pie filling next time though so it won't spill over.!!!

this is step one. :)
Bake.

TASTE tester is next......

and.....

THUMBS UP!!!!
I did good. :)
