Thursday Favorite Things Party
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great so far. Mine has been good. We had have lots of rain. Today was pretty good with only some sprinkles. The plants, veggies and flowers are loving it.
The rain forced me indoors to work on some sewing. I made drapes for my she shed door and one pillow for outside. I was working on the other pillow when the zipper that I put in broke. No matter what I did, I could not get it fixed. I ripped it out and had to go and get a new one. That was frustrating, but what can you do?
I also began working on a rag type wreath. Hopefully, I will get it finished soon, if it continues to rain. If not, outside projects will take over.
What have you been up to? Making lists for summer projects that you want to complete, trips you want to take, or staycations you might be planning?
Have a wonderful day!

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop
Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop
Happy middle of the week (almost) - who's counting, right? Can you believe it is the middle of June? Kids are out of school and summer is almost officially here. Life is good!
We finally got some much needed rain the last couple of days. Although I wanted to work on some outdoor projects, I was able to finish up some indoor projects. I made two pillows and made some drapes for my she shed door. I was glad to get them off my list. I guess rain is good sometimes!
Any summer plans or projects for you?

You're The Star- Creative Feature Week
Welcome to You're The Star- Creative Feature Week
Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was great. I got a couple of projects done, planted my banana trees and planted some other flowers. We had some much needed rain yesterday. You can water everyday, but there is nothing like rain water to make things look great. The banana trees seemed to be happy.
The rain also brought the temp down. We went from around 93 to 85. I know I will like that for the next few days. Are you having warm temps or are you having rain and cooler temps?
Have a great week ahead.

Happiness Is Homemade Party
Happiness Is Homemade Link Party
Happy Sunday dear friends. It has been a hot weekend so far but rain is expected to come today and cool things down. We certainly need the rain. I think it is to be a rainy week but that would be fine since I have ironing and sewing to do.
I got several things off of my list, but 3 more things went back on. We finally planted our mini banana trees. I wanted to get them in before the rains came. I finished two projects that I will be sharing soon.
Hope you have a great upcoming week.
BLT Dip
BLT Dip
I love making dips, do you? I find that there are just so many wonderful recipes and I sometimes would just rather eat dips than a dinner. So I decided to have a dip party dinner. It was just family. I asked everyone to bring a dip. They had to tell me what they were bringing so there would not be duplicates.
I decided to make this BLT Dip. The best part about the dip is that it is best to make it the night before. My kind of dip.
Since I had never made this before, I checked reviews. The original recipe calls for 2 pounds of bacon. I was having a hard time seeing that much bacon being used. After reading the reviews, I took suggestions from several and came up with mine.
I only used 1 pound of bacon and that was plenty. I also used Rotel tomatoes with green chilies although you can use fresh tomatoes. (that's what the recipe calls for) Just make sure you drain the Rotel very well.
I cut the bacon into sections so it would cook faster. One person used real bacon bits. That's your choice. I saved some bacon and Rotel tomatoes to put on top.
Aside from cooking the bacon, the recipe is rather easy. Mix mayo, sour cream, bacon, Rotel tomatoes and green onions together and chill over night. Serve with crackers, chips, or my favorite Stacies Chips.
Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. It is definitely a keeper. This would be great for the 4th of July.
