Selling this home is the reason we are able to buy another home in town.
Not 20 miles from the closest civilization. It was great having this place for 5 years, and we learned a lot of things while fixing it up. Mainly that we don't wish to fix up another. :)
The new-to-us home is totally rehabbed and beautiful!
Little Brown Truck with a Dollar Tree red truck-$2 Craft Idea-Woodland Christmas-Old Fashion Truck
Woodland Little Brown Truck from a Little Red Truck bought at Dollar Tree. Easy craft will go in any decor. Paint it your color! Looks gorgeous on my Buffalo Check Wreath.
All of these items are easily obtained. Dollar Tree and Walmart have these little red trucks perfect for painting and decorating. I used Word to type the "signs" and then printed on my printer with normal paper. Using paint ages and makes the signs appear vintage. 1923 to be exact ;)
Pot Roast with Potatos-Onions-Wine-Chuck Roast-S&P-Anything Tomato-Roaster-Sunday Dinner
Super easy Pot Roast! Sunday Dinner anyone? Meat and Potatoes. Great leftovers. Feed a crowd. Check out how I make dinner and lunches for two, for a week.
Ingredient and Cooking Instructions
Pot Roast - I used a 3.85 lb roast for these measurements
Potatoes for your crowd
350 oven
Salt and pepper every side of the roast. Sear in smoking hot pan or cast iron. Remove.
Add wine as you choose. If no wine, increase beef broth, I used bullion cubes to make 2ish cups.
Let cook down, scraping bottom of roaster.
Add onions, cut half down
Add meat on top of onions, add remaining broth
Add seared roast
Cover and cook one hour for every pound. Add potatoes the last hour if not roasting.
Roasted potatoes
Mix 2 TBS olive oil with 3 shakes of garlic powder and 4-5 dashes of salt and pepper, to your taste. Coat potatoes, and place on cookie sheet.
Cook at 350 degrees for last hour of roast cooking time
Optional, sprinkle parmesan cheese on potatoes halfway through cooking time

The third and final video in the series "Decorate your mantle with what you have"
This video gave me the FEELS. My favorite video, ever. My own video!
First video a "Woodland Theme" in this "decorate with what you have" series here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XEyl...
Quickie "use what you have" decor for a "Walk in a Winter Wonderland" theme on the fireplace mantle.
I HAD SO MUCH FUN COMING UP WITH THIS VIDEO!
It is so hard to decide what to use where in this small house. There are three, and maybe four different ways to decorate this fireplace. I couldn't decide so I'll just do all of them, video it and watch my videos to see which is best.
Most of these items had been purchased many years ago. I very much love the silver, white and blue. There is not much blue in this, although if all of my Christmas items were unpacked, it wouldn't scream winter wonderland in the way that it does with just the lighting. I'll be able to use it somewhere in my home every year.
Tell me what you think in the comments, and please let me know what you thought of this "Quickie series" of "mantle with what you have"?
