Toaster Cover

I have been needing a new toaster cover for a loooonnnng time. I’ve searched around online and many stores and couldn’t find one. Not sure why. Don’t people still use them? I thought about putting the toaster in a cabinet when I’m not using it, but I use it quite often and I didn’t want to keep having to pull it in and out. Plus, my toaster leaks crumbs and I didn’t want that mess in the cabinet.

I decided to make one. I thought it would be a little more complicated than it actually was, but it was super easy and took less than 30 minutes.

Got Zucchini?

Do you have an overabundance of zucchini from your garden laying around and you’re getting tired of the same old zucchini recipes.  I discovered a recipe that I just love and added a few tweaks of my own.

First, I wanted to show you some home decor shots I took while I was visiting these cuties in Kansas a few weeks ago.

Hi Everyone!  

Do you have photos sitting around in a box or album that no one gets to see very often?  I know I did until now.  I made this chalkboard/photo display to hang in my home.

History

Hello readers! Lately I have been working a ton, but now that it has slowed down a bit I have a chance to blog some more. I have been AWOL lately. I also have been really hooked on Ancesty.com and I have been trying to find out more about my paternal grandmothers history and man these ancestors of mine are sneaky!! But I did find this picture of my great great great grandfather Asa Moroni Beecher!
