Ingredients:

1 medium green pepper, cut into 1-inch strips

  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar


1. I cut up the cucumber, tomatoes, and green pepper and put it in a bowl. Then, I sprinkled it will salt and celery seed.


2. In a small bowl whisk together oil and vinegar. Pour over veggies and toss. 



Just a quick, easy, and fresh recipe for the summertime! Enjoy!

Fabric Decor

I have had these 99 cent wooden rings for awhile now and have been meaning to use them for some kind of decor for my Craft Corner:) I decided to use these for some color inspiration on a wall.


I was able to sneak away to Hobby Lobby on my break today and picked up some fun fabrics:


I had seen some other people put fabric into the wooden rings so I just kind of decided to jump right in and it ended up being super simple. The first thing I did was iron the fabric because it had some wrinkles. Then, I unscrewed the two pieces and placed one ring under the fabric. I pulled it tight and placed the other ring right on top.

I tried to use some hot glue but it didn't end up working too well so I just kept it like this. I tightened the screw as far as it would go and trimmed around the edges. Here is how they turned out....

So, if you are looking for a fun way to decorate a room of any kind here is a great inexpensive way to make your own fabric decor!
