Don’t forget about my GIVEAWAY!

I am always traveling with my laptop and phone cords to charge them back up with ton’s of juice. I love that they are white but sometimes I want things to show my personality, especially when I am in a public space. Today we will be decorating our phone power cord with yarn. So many people will notice your fashionable power cord and say “Hey, where did you get that”… perfect way to make new friends. You can then explain that YOU made it and show them THIS tutorial so they can make one of their own. It’s a really easy so let’s get started.

It’s like a “YARN BOMB” cord… Yeah, that sounds delightful.

* Lion Brand Yarn Bonbons Bright

You can purchase the yarn by clicking on the link.

I love this yarn because it has a shiny pieces woven into it and it makes for some pretty cool projects. Check out this wall art I made using it HERE.

Start by wrapping the yarn around one end and tie a knot. You can use as many colors as you would like.

I started by using one color.

Wrap your first color down your cord. Make sure you do it tightly.

You can make your section short or long, it depends on what you like.

When I was ready to move to my next color I took my red and tied a knot at the end of my blue. Just continue wrapping the next color. It’s really that simple. Continue doing this until you are completely done.

I added a little flare on top with some navy yarn. I tied a knot on one end then took two pieces and tied knots then wrapped around the cord to start the knotting over again.

I am loving how cute it came out. It’s bright and whimsical just like me.

Make sure you share with all of your friends. I promise everyone will start making them.

See ya in the next blog post!

*DON’T FORGET ABOUT MY MARTHA STEWART GIVEAWAY!

I don’t know about you but I will eat any kind of PIE that is placed in front of me. There is something especially inviting about a cool pie on a hot summer day. If you live in Louisiana then you know exactly what I mean. It’s HOT here. This past weekend I put a blanket down in my back yard and spend the whole day outside, laying on it. It was so nice to get some rays but I kept dreaming of the perfect pie which included mint, chocolate, bananas, whip cream and andes mints. I figured I would make it and share it with you!

Let’s get started with this Mint Chocolate Chip Banana Cream Pie because it’s delish!

1 ready made pie/two bananas/1 tub of cool whip/ frosting creations in mint chocolate/andes mints/1 box of chocolate pudding

Mix your pudding according to the directions on the back of the box. Get your powdered Mint Chocolate mix and throw that baby in there. I put the entire packet.

Once your putting is made and the consistency is right, add it in your pie. This is the first layer.

Start slicing bananas and lay them on top of the pudding.

Add your cool whip next.

Crush up your Andes mints and throw those suckers right on top. Pop it in the fridge so it can set and VOILA.

There you have it Jaderbugs! Your very own Minty pie.

I promise it will cool you off and make you feel so fresh and so clean, clean. I hope you enjoyed this fun recipe. Make sure to share with all of your wonderful friends!

It’s THURSDAY and you know what that means! LINKY LOVE DAY. I am sure by now you are following all of my wonderful crafty friends, and if you are NOT then today can be the day <3 Surely the most talented people your eyeballs will meet. Enjoy Jaderbugs!

Happy hump day Jaderbugs! I am so excited to share my “Chick Magnet’s” with you today. It’s almost easter and I thought it would be the perfect time to put these on your fridge or anything magnetic. Magnets add a lot of fun to your fridge especially when it’s holding up special notes or your child’s art. Let’s start making them!

*Fluffy Chicks
*Adhesive Magnets

You can purchase all of the supplies I used by clicking on the links above.

I purchases my chicks at Hobby Lobby and they were $2.99 for a box of 24. Pretty affordable, right!

Start by peeling off the side of the magnet with paper on it. It should be sticky.

Take your fluffy chicks and stick them to the sticky side of magnet. That is pretty much it! It’s a super easy craft that your kids could do in no time.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, see you in the next post…

Do you ever get so busy with the inside of your house that you sometimes forget about the outside? Don’t get me wrong we do our “home owner” duties like pressure washing the house every summer and mowing the grass. But you know those “little” projects that you somehow look at every day and tell yourself that you will get to it later… Next thing you know it’s 8 years later and you still didn’t get to it. Don’t get me wrong y’all, I might be the only person out there that does this….. However if you are struggling with the
“I WILL GET TO IT LATER DISEASE”
then this post is for you.

When we bought our house I would of loved for the siding to be a different color but why change it out. It was practically brand spanking new and who cares if it is a light shade of yellow. Well, I do. I have been struggling with the front door going with this um… yellow shade for years now. I thought red was the it factor when all along it looked like McDonalds. Speaking of Mc.Donalds did you know they stopped making the chicken selects. Shame on you Micky D. You have disappointed many hungry kids whose parents are too busy to cook a real meal, hehe.

Finally Martha Stewart sent me some black paint, called Francesa. That is the name of her dog. It took me a while before I could paint something. How could it be so hard to find SOMETHING to paint black. One day I was picking the weeds that I barely get too anymore then all of a sudden this magical beam of something was shining down on the front door. I think it was just the sun coming up but we are gonna pretend it was a “sign”. Let’s check out what I did.

We can begin with the picture above. Before we talk about the lovely color we will dissect it a little bit.
1. Yes. The red is a pretty red, just not after 8 years. At least it wasn’t this color.
2. I know, I know my flowers in the pot are a HOT mess. I swear at one point last year they were blooming beautifully with green plants. Maybe I should of watered them with this.
3. On the flip side, I see something living in the bottom right corner, SCORE.
4. Before you get on me I know the trim looks like I pressure washed it to prepare for a new coat of paint when I really didn’t. This is just years and years of not getting TLC.
5. I still have that otter box case but I never keep it on my phone. Way too bulky.
6. Last but not least we will talk about the abandoned wreath up there. I swear I usually have cute things hanging on my ugly door so I really don’t recall putting this up.

All we are really looking at is how the door looks with this color on it. We will now procede on to the picture below.

Yes. Everything is practically the same but the wreath is down. I will make your heart happy by telling you it never made it back on the door.

I am just trying to show you that a fresh coat of black paint can change your door’s life. It’s like it had a face lift, minus the trim getting done. So the point is you don’t have to change your siding all you have to do is paint your door. If you have shutters get them babies done too. I hope I gave you some inspiration! See you in the next post Jaderbugs.
