Tuesday Tutorial ---- Refashioning, Old Into New
Today I am sharing some ideas for refashioning outdated garments into fresh new trendy wearables.
Turn a sweater into an infinity scarf on Adventures In Dressmaking.
I love this makeover of a plain denim skirt on Craftaholics Anonymous.
Learn how to take a short jacket and add some ruffles to bring it back into fashion on Two Butterflies.
And finally, look what you can do with some old t-shirts on Tea Rose Home.
What do you have in your closet just waiting to be given new life?
Thanks for visiting today.

Organizing - Meal Planning Ideas
Planning meals ahead of time can be a real money saver when you shop for groceries. When you receive your weekly grocery ad you can sit down and plan your meals gauged by what's on sale. Just think of the money you will save.
I found some really great meal planners that you can make and/or print. Really clever stuff here...
The first one is from www.theprojectgirl.com. She had two different versions that are available to download and print, this is one of them.
This next one is also a printable file you can download and print from www.familyfun.go.com. It' really cute.
Not interested in a printable? Do you sew? This might be the one for you. You can find out more about this one at www.littlebiggirlstudio.blogspot.com
Next is this adorable menu planning board made from a cork board. This one is nice as it could be made to match your decor. You could put sturdy magnets on the back and hang it on your fridge. You will find the instructions here www.allthingsbeautiful-charity.blogspot.com
Hopefully one of these ideas will inspire you to make your own meal planner.
Thanks for joining us today!

Time Saver Recipes - Easy Pizza Crust
Make a delicious homemade pizza instead of calling for delivery. Not only will you save some time, but you'll save some money too.
Easy Pizza Crust
Ingredients:
1 package active dry yeast
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups white flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until dissolved and somewhat muddy looking, probably about 10 minutes.
Add flour, salt and oil. Stir until smooth and elastic. You may have to mix with your hands. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a circle.
Move crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or baking stone.
Add your favorite sauce and toppings and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Let baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving. (if you can)
