Dipped Graham Crackers

I love when someone comes up with such a cute, versatile and good idea.  These are so fun and SO easy to make.  You could make so many different colors to match any occasion you are having and they look so cute.  They are so easy to dip and they even taste yummy and you cannot get a much cheaper snack.   Thank you to the brilliant person for the awesome idea.

Glue Ornaments

I love this idea and these were so fun to make.  They turn out so cool and almost see through.  When I did them I thought how cool they would look as snowflakes.  This is a fun activity for kids and adults.  Just make sure you use ALOT of glue and make them thick or they are really thin and see through, which still looks cool but not like these in the picture.  Since you can get a bottle of glue for about 50 cents you cannot get a much cheaper activity.

Christmas Trash

I have seen a couple of different recipes on Pinterest called Christmas trash but this is the one I tried out. This was YUMMY and I am embarrassed to admit that we ate it within one afternoon.  My only recommendation is to not use peanut m&m's, that's what I used and I think it would be so much better with plain m&m's.  Other than that this was cheap,easy, fast and yummy, I definitely am going to give this out with Holiday treats.

Flat Iron Curls

How smart people are, seriously? I would have never, ever thought of doing this but it TOTALLY works and it was so fast and easy.  This cuts down on all your hair appliances and makes it so fast to curl your hair.

DIY spray glue

When I first looked at the recipe, my first thought was that this was not much different than mod podge but I thought I would try it out.  Guess what, it is just like mod podge! It is nowhere as sticky and strong as normal spray glue and makes everything really wet, which spray glue does not do.  I did not like this for spray glue but it certainly could be used as mod podge instead.

Braided Flat Iron Curls

Since the last flat iron curls worked so well, I was counting on these to work really well also.  They did not, my hair was not curly at all.  I have to say I do have thick hair and not a lot works on my hair but my hair will usually curl pretty easy and this did not even give me any curl at all.

Kool Aid Taffy

This pin is a recipe for kool aid taffy and this recipe did not turn out. My taffy never hardened and stayed a jello consistency for hours. You were only supposed to let it sit for 20 minutes but even after a few hours it still was like jello and never hardened into taffy. It did not take too long to make and it tasted good so it is to bad it never turned out.

Boyfriend Cookies

These were yummy but it is no wonder with m&m's, reeses pieces, chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. They were easy to make and did not take any more time than normal chocolate chip cookies, the cost was low also. This is a great cookie to add to your cookie list.

Smores Cookies

These looked so yummy and I have found the most amazing recipe for smores bars from Six Sisters so I was hoping this would be another great recipe.  Boy was I wrong, these did not turn out at all.  They were easy to make and did not take that much time but because they did not turn out none of that mattered.
