Lemon Icebox Pie

This has got to be one of the easiest pies to make for your friends and family for Spring and Summer.  Can't go wrong with lemon.  This pie has one 5 ingredients and no baking.  A few years ago I won a dessert contest and was on a local morning show to showcase this pie and how simple it really is.

GeoCaching........Great outing for family

We have always been a family who spends lots of time together. We enjoy the outdoors and finding many adventures.  I had heard about Geocaching (treasure hunting).  Caches are hidden throughtout the world and the only clues are coordinances that have been listed by others.  www.Geocaching.com is a wonderful site that lists coordinates for hidden caches throughout the world. 
Georgia offers their own Geo-Challenge.  The link for more info is: www.geocaching.com/adventures/geotours/georgiastateparks to get GPS coordinates for the cache locations by park.

This includes 43 state parks and historical sites.  This is the perfect way for my family to explore the state.  After you fill in the challenge grid you can receive coins.

 Please remember to be careful this is a picture similar to a snake that we almost stepped on.  Be very careful you are in nature.

Burlap

I am a bargain queen and I love to search the clearance bins in my local craft stores. When I came across 100' of 8" burlap for $1 I was super excited.  Now what shall I do with it?

I made a few medium sized wreaths with flowers from my craft hoarding bins.  I still had 8' of burlap left so.....

I decided to make two card holders.  I again used clearance flowers and mini clothes pins.
