DIY Faux Wood Picture Frame

By 2 Comments

Hello again Friends! It’s Aly from Entirely Eventful Day. I hope you love Fall like I love Fall! Today I am sharing a project perfect for Fall, or anytime of the year. It’s a faux reclaimed wood picture frame. We all know how “in” reclaimed wood is right now. But I don’t have time to go out and reclaim wood, do you? Didn’t think so. That’s why I created this little beauty for you.
If you would like to fill your DIY wood picture frame with this cute I “leaf” Fall printable, come on over to my blog and download it!
Start with any ol’ picture frame. Mine was painted red from this Valentine project.
You will also need wood printed wrapping paper, Mod Podge (I used gloss), scissors, and a brush.
The first thing I did was apply some scrap pieces to the corner. I wanted a miter cut look and it was apparent that I wasn’t going to be able to get the perfect in the corner. So I cheated. It worked perfectly, couldn’t tell at all.
Then I lined up my paper, making sure I had the right amount to fold into the inside, and cut the angle.
Follow the directions on the Mod Podge bottle to apply the paper. You want to apply it both under and over the paper.
When it was time to do another corner, I simply made sure that the miter cuts overlapped and my red frame didn’t show.
I found this particular wood print paper at Hobby Lobby.
I hope this project starts your Fall off right. I can’t wait for apple cider and falling leaves!

Baked Apple Chips

By 8 Comments

I found a healthy snack that the kids love and makes the house smell scrumptious. What more could you ask for right? I shared this over on DIY Dreamer a few weeks ago, but couldn’t resist sharing here too. Check out these baked apple chips.
Are they not the cutest and so perfect for back to school?! You’ll be surprised how very simple it is to make your very own baked apple chips getting rid of preservatives and other gunk that comes with the packaged ones. Let’s get started.
Supplies:
Apples
Cinnamon
Mini Cookie Cutter (optional)
Knife
Parchment Paper
Cookie Sheet

1. Slice your apples into thin slices. The thinner you cut the crunchier they will be. 
2. Grab the nearest kiddo and have them cut out the cores with a mini cookie cutter.

3. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread apple slices on to pan. You can fit about two sliced apples per pan. Shake cinnamon over them.

4. Bake at 275 for about 2 hours 15 minutes. Flip them over after an hour so they bake evenly and then check them every half an hour thereafter until they look crispy. If you want to make a large batch, just do one pan at a time. They get too hot too close to the bottom.

It made the house smell divine and the kiddos gobbled them right up! They were the perfect healthy snack both kid and mom approved!

    It’s Amy here again from The Happy Scraps.  I’m so excited to be here at A Little Tipsy sharing a very simple and easy Back to School Teacher Gift Idea.  The best part, there is a printable!
    What teacher wouldn’t like a set of colorful Sharpies at the beginning of the school year?

    Read more and get the printable.


    All you need to do, is grab a few sharpies, tie them up with some baker’s twine, print the tags, punch a hole and tie it on.  I opted to round the corners on the tag as well.

    Pumpkin Steamer

    By 2 Comments

    Something about fall with the crisp air and cool night breezes that draws me toward something deliciously warm to drink. I love a yummy Starbuck’s Pumpkin Steamer as much as the next girl, but those paper cups of heaven can take a toll on your pocket book. So, I took things in to my own hands and found out how very simple it is to make your own pumpkin steamer.

    Pumpkin Steamer

    • 3/4 ounce pumpkin spice syrup
    • 3/4 ounce vanilla-flavored syrup
    • 8 ounces cold milk
    • Whipped Cream
    • Pumpkin Pie Spice

    1. Steam syrup and cold milk together. (or if you’re like me, use the microwave for about minute and a half)
    2. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.

    You can get the pumpkin spice syrup online. But, I a little birdie told me if you want it just like Starbuck’s you might want to get Torani or Da Vinci pumpkin sauce (which is creamier and thicker) instead of syrup, which will run you quite a bit more. If you want to make your own, here is a recipe for Pumpkin Spice Syrup.

    Great by the mugful, or make a big batch for a party! I’m thinking a pumpkin steamer would make a fabulous addition to Thanksgiving breakfast! Sip it while preparing the feast!
