Future DIY Projects
This summer I have taken a break from DIY projects. My second son is preparing to serve a full time mission for our church and it has taken all my efforts to help him get the necessary shopping and planning done. He will be leaving in a few weeks and my other boys will be going back to school so I will be starting up on DIY projects around the house. Now I just have to narrow down what to take on first. I have a limited budget and the outdoor projects have to be done before the snow flies, which in Nebraska can be as soon as October. I would love to have your opinion. Should I take on the lousy kitchen counter-tops, refinish my table, or do an outside project? I have to decide whether I am going to do home upgrades, or fun recipes as my next obsession. Let me know what you prefer:)
Here are some things I found on Pinterest that interest me...

How To Host The Perfect Birthday Party for a Teenager In 3 Easy Steps
I made my own colored powder and I bought some so I could see if there was a big difference. The powder I made needed more color so I learned my lesson. I am still convinced that I could save money by making my own, but next time I will add more food coloring to the powder.
What you will need:
Step 1. Colored Powder
Step 2. Shaved Ice
Step 3. Glow in the Dark Bracelets
After the throwing was over everyone still had a lot of color on their hands so they rubbed it off on the birthday boy. |
We hired a Shave Ice trailer to give out Hawaiian Shave Ice at the party. It was a huge hit. |
Friends, Colored Powder, Shaved Ice, what more could you want in a Party? |

How To Make Your Own Colored Powder
Mix cornstarch, water and food coloring in a kitchen aid until well blended.

The powder will dry into a very soft brick.
|
Measure Powder into 1/2 cup portions and put in sandwich bags. |
I used the fold over sandwich bags because they areso cheap and I have a sealer. |
I put wrapping paper around a Cheetos box to store the colors in
