What you'll need:

Empty clean k cups

black pipe cleaner

orange pipe cleaner

black craft foam

white craft foam

googly eyes

2 small twigs from the yard

2 small white pompoms

sharpie marker

glue gun and sticks

screw/screwdriver/utility knife

Create:

Poke a small hole in the bottom of one of your k cups. On the same cup

poke holes near the opening of the k cups for arms, make them large

enough for your twigs to fit in snugly.

Cut a 2" piece of black pipe cleaner and also a 1/2" piece, poke them

through the hole in the bottom of the cup for Olaf's hair. Add a bit of

hot glue around it to secure.

Poke twigs through holes in side again and secure arms to cup with hot glue.

Cut a 1" piece of orange pipe cleaner and bend it into a carrot shape, hot glue

onto center of the cup for a nose.

Cut black craft foam into an almost pocket shape that stretches out

on the side, then cut out his white teeth, use hot glue to secure both.

Use your sharpie to draw on buttons and eyebrows. Hot glue the two

cups together to form the head and body. Glue on 2 white pompoms for

Olaf's feet. Allow everything to dry.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
