The Great Digi-Lift Project......Week ONE!

Week one already for us, over at The Great Digi-Lift Progect and we are excited to kick things off!

I was inspired to lift the layout itself and LOVED the colors, design, clusters, mixed papers.....EVERYTHING! Come on by and check out our inspiration this week!

Here is the layout I created for this one! 

(My photos are HORRIBLE! I am sorry for that, I couldn't get my lighting right this morning!)

We will be posting new inspiration every Monday on the blog, so I hope you will come and join us! We will have RAK's as well, until we find sponsors :)

It felt good to play again and get my hands dirty! I really hope that my creative juices come back for good and I can get back to my love affair with paper....HAHA!

Thanks for stopping by!

Smoothie Heaven...

One of my favorite things to look for on Pinterest is recipes. There are SOOOOOOO many recipes!!! I don't think I will ever get to try them all, but I am certainly going to give it a go!

**HUSBAND CHEERS WILDLY**

Here is a quick little recipe/trick I found for SMOOTHIES.........SOOOOOOOO GOOD!! I found this one posted over at Lacey in Love and knew as soon as I saw it I had to try it out myself! YUM!!

First step, is your ingredients. I am making mine with French Vanilla Yogurt, Oatmeal, Strawberries, Peaches, Kiwi & Banana. Use whatever you prefer, but these are my faves and I am adding in oatmeal to make my smoothies a little more filling, as I plan on making these my meals. I am also using the citrus blend juice from Five Alive.

Next, scoop yogurt into a muffin tin. I chose to use regular yogurt, instead of frozen yogurt, because I think it tastes better, it's cheaper and there are many more flavor options too! So I used a good sized heaping tablespoon and filled up all the cups with my french vanilla yogurt, and then added in my oatmeal, and mixed it up.

Next, I sliced my fruit and divided it into muffin tins as well! I used frozen strawberries and peaches, simply for a cost saving method that would save me some time. So all I had to slice up was my banana and my kiwi.

I threw both muffin tins in the freezer overnight and this morning, I put one frozen portion of yogurt into a ziploc baggie with one frozen portion of fruit. I now have 24 fast and easy smoothie baggies, ready to go in the freezer! All I gotta do it pop 'em into my magic bullet, add a bit of my OJ and away I go!!

The best part though.......I got ALL of these ingredients for a grand total of $19.67 and that includes HST tax! I made 24 smoothie baggies, (and still have some fruit leftover!!) so that means my smoothies cost a grand total of about 0.82 cents each!

BEAT THAT STARBUCKS!!
