Try It Tuesday~Juicing!

Hi guys!!! 
Hubby and I started back juicing.  We took a 15 year break:):).  
Our kids juice and that got us back into it.
Our juicer was top of the line, um ....15 years ago, but it still makes great juice.
So, no Jack LaLanne for us.  
We like to try different combinations but our favorite is plain ole'
carrot and apple.

 
I had some Kale so this batch has Kale in it.  Note the green tint.

Kale, Apple and Carrot~

Nothing goes to waste. Our chickens love what is in the blue bucket.  I have seen recipes
 for muffins, but have not tried that.  Gotta keep our chickens happy:):)

I put the juice in canning jars and it will last up to three days in the fridge.  It never does though,
 we drink before then:)

The Carrot / Apple is on the left and Kale/Carrot/ Apple on the right.
Delicious guys, try it !!!
*****************************
I will be sharing more my life here on the ranch~hope that is OK with you:):):)
See ya soon~

Clear Scraps~Basketball Album

Hi guys!!
 I have a Basketball mini album to show you!! I used an acrylic album by Clear Scraps. Remember I went to a Spurs  vs. Pacers game in Indiana last month, that is what my album is about~ that game (that we won)!!!

I have a tutorial up on Clear Scraps with how I put it together.   I had such fun putting this together knowing all of my memorabilia is in one place. I even clipped the program to the back of the mini album.

I had the ticket stubs and two programs to work with.  Instead of using pattern paper I used the other program.  I used Zip Dry by Beacon to adhere the paper to the acrylic.  It is amazing with acrylic:):)
I hope you will take a look at the tutorial:):)
***********************************
For you guys that know I have been having a hard time blogging, I took the advice of several peeps and down loaded Chrome~I'm blogging on Chrome.  Fire Fox lets me blog every now and then and I didn't like having to up load to Photo Bucket and grab the code.  No problems so far~now if these shingles will leave I'll be good:):)
See ya soon~

Berry Baskets~The Curtsey Boutique


I love these Berry Baskets from The Curtsey Boutique, just like they are:):)!
I added them to an enamel tray, that sits next to my Keurig (coffee maker), and it is so handy to have the coffee, stevia and biscotti all in one place:) 
Don't you love the teal color?  Sometimes it's best to just leave it alone
 (and this is one of those times)!!


The chalk tag, burlap butterfly, felt rose and heart stick pins can also be found in
*********************************
Have a great day!!
See ya soon~

Button Jar with The Curtsey Boutique

Hi guys!!!
I made this button jar with the plastic jars from The Curtsey Boutique.
The lids are fancy and so cute.  The button card is using more of the handmade embellishments from the shop.

Here is the button card (buttons from cork, mustache tag, key, seam binding ribbon, twine) 
all from the Etsy store.  I always find new stuff when I visit.


Thanks for stopping by~we had a great Easter!! Missing some of our family but the
 "little ones" help with that:):):)
***********************************************
I still can not blog through Fire Fox~Ugh!!  Very frustrating for sure.
See ya soon~
