Rings

These are cute little rings I made too, another crowd pleaser : )  Myka made the ones on the left and I made the ones on the right.

Dangling Hair Clips

I figured that girls are crazy about thing hanging in their hair right now, so I created Dangling Hair Clips, my daughter's favorite.   Of course the pink ones sold first.

Hair Flowers

Well, I saw some flowers made from T-shirts on Pinterest and decided to make my own version of them.  We (merrellgirls) sold them at my schools Christmas Bazaar and the kids seemed to really like them.  These are the original hair clips, they are the size of a golf ball to the size of a tennis ball.

Rock Art

So, I love rocks :) and a couple of years ago I decided to use rocks a my medium for my art.  I began the long process of selecting my favorite rocks, washing them and preparing them for my creation.  I finished this one that is hanging in my bathroom.

I am going to start a new one soon, I will show you when I get it finished :)

Sloppy Joe

I don't know if your family is picky like mine but I finally found a Sloppy Joe recipe that we all 3 like!  My sister Myka made it for all of us one time and we fell in love with it.  What makes this recipe work so good for us is 1. it's easy, 2. there are no chunks of anything (onions, tomatoes) and 3. we used ground turkey (no gristle).  Here's the recipe:

1 lb.  ground turkey (can use hamburger)

1 cup  ketchup

1 TBS  sugar

1 TBS  vinegar

1 TBS  mustard

a few shakes of onion powder

simmer and eat!

I served it with a Ranch & Bacon Pasta Salad from ALDI, only .99 cents!  The merrellgirls LOVE to shop at ALDI.  We will give more deals at ALDI later.
