What am I supposed to do with that old picture frame?

Just throw it away? NOT ANYMORE!

I have been talking, for days now, about doing something with these old picture frames I have around the house. The paintings are not worth anything, but the frames are in great condition. I would just hate to throw them out.
So I got to thinking. Not long ago, I had a couple nieces over and I had done their footprints using black tempera paint on white paper. Quickly, I was bored with just the prints...I eventually turned them into our little works of art. I placed each paper into different sized frames and VOILA! I had wonderful little "Footprints To My Heart" that will soon line my hallway. I can't wait to get them all complete!!

Soon, I plan to have as many of my nieces and nephews as I can...(I do have 26 now...YIKES, that a lot of tiny little fingers!) I would like to get a hand print from each of them and do the same as the frames of footprints. Only, once they are all placed, I will then have to change my little title for it to "The Path of Prints to My Heart."

They are small...this I know...But, they are my own!

My footprints might be small...But, they carry a lot of love!

They leave footprints in our hearts.

AFTER

The painting BEFORE my inspiration hit.

                                                                                        

Today, I managed to complete yet another frame. This time, however, I took and old painting that has no value, flipped it over, painted it and must say, the before and after photos will show the difference. I will just let you be the judge.

* I even put mine and my husband's initials in the tree trunk. (AWE!)

I can't wait to share more!

Fall

It’s that time of year again folks. Fall is almost here! Sept. 23^rd, 2011 is the official first day of fall. Don’t forget to set your clocks behind November 6^th, 2011.

Below you will find a great many recipes, craft ideas, coupons, freebies and much more!

FOODS & RECIPES

Pomegranates – Great for your health, good source of Vitamin C, potassium, and anti-oxidants.

Sweet Potatoes – Provide large amounts of Vitamins A, C, B6, niacin, fiber and potassium. Great mashed or as fries.

Pumpkins – Who doesn’t love pumpkin everything this time of year! Okay, so there are probably a lot of people that don’t care much for pumpkin at all. But, for those of you who do, please, keep reading. Pumpkins are loaded with Vitamins A, C, E, and B6. They can be home grown or store bought, either way they are the perfect ingredient to all things fall! Check out http://www.pumpkinnook.com/ for all things Pumpkin!!!

Pumpkin Bread – (Yields 1 loaf)

Ingredients:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup pumpkin purée
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Sift together flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda.

Mix pumpkin, oil, eggs, water and spices together, combine with dry ingredients. (Mixture does not need to be mixed thoroughly.) Stir in nuts.

Pour into well-buttered loaf pan. Bake 50-60 mins. Use a toothpick or small skewer to poke center of loaf. If it comes out clean, bread is ready. Remove from pan by flipping upside down onto a cooling rack.

Pumpkin Seeds-

1. Rinse seeds in cold water, picking out pulp and strings.

2. Place seeds on baking sheet in a single layer. Sheet should be oil coated (or use non-stick cooking spray.)

3. Sprinkle with salt.

4. Bake 325 F until toasted (approx. 25mins.) Check and stir after first 10mins.

5. Let cool and store in air-tight container.

FUN FALL SNACKS

Cheese Roll-Ups – Roll shredded cheese into tortilla microwave until soft and cheese is melted. Dip in salsa and Enjoy!!

Fruit Pops – Using sliced fruit, dip into yogurt then crushed breakfast cereal. Enjoy it just like that or freeze them for a great frozen treat!

Pretzel Towers – This one couldn’t be any simpler. Cut small cubes of the cheese of your choice, using pretzel sticks, poke the cheese. Allow children to use their imaginations and build away. *Here’s a challenge: Give each child the same amount of cheese and pretzels. Decide on a time limit (30 sec. – 1min.) The object of the challenge is to see who can make the tallest tower without falling over in the amount of time giving.

Cereal Jewelry – Using various cereals, (fruit-loops, cheerios) string them onto different size strings and tie the ends together. Kids will love these as a take-a-long all day snack!

This time of year also brings to mind the book by Marcia Brown, known as Stone Soup. The story tells of sharing. You can find the story at: http://www.michaelppowers.com/prosperity/stonesoup.html

My daughter read this in her first grade class and students brought in various items the teacher selected and re-created their version of Stone Soup. In the book the soldiers and peasants use the following ingredients:

· 3 small smooth stones

· Salt and Pepper to taste

· A carrot or two

· A cabbage

· A bit of beef

· A few potatoes

· A little barley

· A cup of milk

This recipe seems simple, but if you are not much of a chef, it may not be as simple. Check out these sites for different recipes:

Taste of Home

Cooks.com

Disney’s Family Fun

**And don’t forget to read the story out loud to your children and let them help, there is plenty for everyone to do. While you prepare the meal, talk about the story and its meaning. Encourage your kids to share with others.

FALL CRAFT IDEAS

Bag-Leaf Bouquet-

· Small brown bag

· Paint

· Twigs

· Leaves (dried, fresh or silk)

· Twine or ribbon

Use the paints to decorate your brown bag. Once the bag has dried; stuff the bottom of the bag with old newspaper. Use leaves and twigs to fill the top of the bag. Tie off the top of the bag with the twine allowing leaves and twigs to flow out. Makes for a great centerpiece!

You can also cut the brown bag about halfway, so that you do not need to stuff the bottom with paper and its much smaller. Use other items like buttons, bows, flower’s, and anything else you can find. BE CREATIVE! And since there’s no gluing this craft is fun for all ages!
