so I made this picture coffee mug

I have made a few of these now. They are so easy and fun to do. I am going to make myself one next because every time I make one, I want it.
The picture mug comes from Starbucks, its about $10.95. Get some cute scrapbook paper (not thick kind). I chose this one for my mom's birthday since she loves brown, black and everything argyle (the ribbon).

Take out the little paper they have inside the mug - it comes out from the bottom. Cut your scrapbook paper to the same size.

Print out small sized pictures and arrange (that cute bow did not make it, too thick). Glue all and let dry.

Roll it up like this and slide it back in

Now its cute and custom. I made one for my dad this Christmas and added black scrapbook letter stickers that said "papaw's" and he just love it.

drunkn' chicken

Got this cool piece of pottery as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago from my mom-in law. I had no clue what it was when I opened it - which was really quite fun :) It is a drunkn' chicken cooker......

just by adding beer to the center of the pottery.....

a little rosemary and garlic to the center of the chicken....(hopefully no blond hairs )

the chicken goes right on top of the liquid center.....cook for about 1 hour and you get this super moist chicken - every time - I use this all the time and it makes a great gift.

This is also known as "beer can chicken" and this cute girl shows how to make grilled chicken with the beer can in the center.

Moo Mixer

I love the "Moo Mixer" available at Target's on-line store for $10. Bria got one as a gift last year and the whole family loved it! Im planning on wrapping one up with some chocolate syrup for my neices and nephews this Christmas. The little motor is so quiet and stirs up the chocolate and the milk perfectly! They are little bulky for storing easily but totally worth it.
