DIY-ICED COFFEE...



FINALLY...recipe after recipe...I found one that is very good

I was cleaning my desk off and I came across this recipe that I must of written down quite some time ago....Because the last time I cleaned off my desk was ummmm...so long I can't remember.
I really wish I could credit this recipe, but all I wrote down were the ingrediants... sorry!

I love this recipe, it's honestly a little too sweet for me, and that's very odd for me to say that, because living in the south my southern sweet tea is so sweet your hair stands up!  hehehe


I used my Keurig and brewed the largest coffee mug of coffee set aside until cold
I used Dunkin Donut Dark Roast
Then in my Ninja or you could use a blender
BLEND:
1 1/2 C --Cold coffee
1/2 C--Milk
1/2 Sugar
2 TBSP Caramel-I used ice cream caramel topping
1 tsp. Chocolate syrup-I used hershey
BLEND.....BLEND.....BLEND......

Then add
Pinch of vanilla-ummm I poured about 1/4 tsp...
then add your ice..

BLEND AGAIN......
THEN
ENJOY....

*I added more milk and ice to cut down on the sweetness!

T-SHIRT BAG...GREAT FOR RECYCLING

DO YOU HAVE AN OLD T-SHIRT THAT HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS?
RECYCLE IT
INTO AN AMAZING T-SHIRT BAG


Project Instructions

Lay the t-shirt on a flat surface. Cut the sleeves off, then cut them open so you have a long strip and set aside.
Cut a big “U” from the neck opening about ½ way down the t-shirt. Leave about a 3-4” width for each strap. The length of the straps will determine how deep to cut the “U”.
Along the bottom of the t-shirt, cut vertical 1” strips about 6-8” up the t-shirt.
Tie the front and the back of the strips together and knot.
Add ribbon strips, if desired, into the knots.
Knot the sleeve strips at the base of the handles. Tie on as many ribbons as desired and trim to the desired length.

25 USES FOR DRYER SHEETS..


DRYER SHEETS
ARE NOT JUST FOR CLOTHES ANYMORE!
INFO.. FOUND HERE




Surfing the net can be very addictive....I can upon a site that had 25 uses for dryer sheets..
VERY INTERESTING AND I MAY HAVE TO TRY SOME OF THESE....
Post if you have every tried any of these...I would love to hear!!
 
  1. Dusting: used dryer sheets can knock the dust off nearly any surface, including furniture, blinds, car interiors, baseboards/molding. Also works for on saw dust and drywall compound.
  2. Keep bugs away: Tuck some in your picnic basket or under lawn furniture to repel bees from your juicy flesh and encourage them back to the flowers, where they belong. You can also rub a sheet directly on your bare skin to discourage would- be buggers from leaving their mark.
  3. Keep your clothes fresh: tuck a few fabric-sheets in your drawers to keep that “˜just-washed’ smell happening for weeks. Throw one in your dirty clothes hamper to prevent any rampant, residual odors from escaping into your bedroom.
  4. Scrub your showers: Lightly wet a used dryer sheet, and scrub to remove soap build-up and mineral deposits.
  5. Freshen your home: Place (or tape) a dryer sheet on your HVAC vents to scent the air circulating through your home. You can even place one alongside your filter in your central heating unit to distribute the scent. Also works on ceiling fans, and on the back of box/portable fans.
  6. Reduce static cling: Pat your self with a sheet to combat static on your clothes, stockings, and even long hair!
  7. De-stink your pets: Scrub incoming dogs or cats (especially wet ones) with a dryer sheet before the come back into your home. You can also place one in your litter box to cut down on odors.
  8. Clean your laundry room: When you finish drying a load, hold on to the dryer sheet, and wipe down the inside of your dryer’s drum, your lint trap, the outside of your washing machine and dryer, and scrub away any excess or spilt laundry detergent.
  9. Scrub the bugs from your car: Summer drives often equal insect gut polka dots all over your auto’s body and windshield. Simply wet your car down, and use a dryer sheet to scrub away carnage with ease.
  10. Wipe up hair: The cling of a dryer sheet is perfect to wipe up pet hair from your furniture, or even your own hair from your bathroom.
  11. In your shoes: Toss a dryer sheet in the toes of your shoes to minimize odors and prolong the just-purchased smell.
  12. While traveling: Place a few dryer sheets in between items in your suitcase to keep both your clothes fresh and to prevent your items from picking up any mustiness from old luggage.
  13. In your crafts: Use dryer sheets to add texture to cards, scrapbooks, etc. Also use for reinforcement in appliqué and quilting work.
  14. For diapers: Keep your used dryer sheets in your diaper bag, and roll one up in the diaper to prevent odors before you have to chance to throw it away.
  15. In the kitchen: Soak cookware with burnt or baked-on food in warm water, with a dryer sheet or two. Makes clean-up easier than you’d expect. Also works on cook tops and dingy cabinet doors.
  16. Clean paint brushes: Soak your used paintbrushes in warm water with a dryer sheet, and that pesky latex paint will come off in under a minute.
  17. In books: placing a dryer sheet in new books or photo albums will keep them smelling fresh, and can combat the musty paper smell of used or old books. Also works as a killer bookmark.
  18. In toilet paper: Roll up a dryer sheet in your toilet paper roll. Each time you spin, it releases a little freshness into your bathroom.
  19. As you sleep: keep a fabric-softener sheet in your pillow case and under your mattress or mattress pad for sweet dreams of summer all year “˜round.
  20. While sewing: use a dryer sheet to store your needles while threaded to keep them from tangling, for paper piecing whilst you quilt, and for backing for embroidery.
  21. Repel rodents: Use dryer sheets to keep out mice, skunks, squirrels, rats, etc from your basement, garages, boats, campers, and clubhouses.
  22. In your car: stash dryer sheets under your car seats and floor mats, and in your glove box and trunk for fresh scents as you travel.
  23. At work: Hide dryer sheets in drawers, behind computers, and in cabinetry to keep your workspace fresh, and combat your co-workers awful perfume or stale cigarette scent.
  24. In you vacuum cleaner: Place a dryer sheet in your vacuum bag or dust containment unit. As the hot air moves as you vacuum, you’ll bulk up your cleaning efforts. (Make sure this is in NO WAY a fire hazard)
  25. In storage: tuck dryer sheets in your rarely used items such as luggage, camping gear, sports equipment, or specialty craft or kitchen items to prevent the inevitable smells of basements, attics, and garages
