GIVEAWAY and Review: Turn Me On Art! Aimee's Adventures in Home Decor #3 (US/CAN) -CLOSED-

Winner

I have found a new love: Turn me on Art's super cool light and electrical plates. I have never thought of dressing up my light switches till I saw Turn Me On Art on Etsy.

Her designs go from the simple, classical to more modern. She even has some that are fable themed, as well some new ones for Halloween! I am tempted to get some of them! I love this one for Halloween.

So as you have seen previously, I painted my living room and wanted to add a little more "spice" to my wall.

Who knew that just changing your light switch plate could add so much fun to a room. My husband, who I thought might not like the change, absolutely loved it. In fact he kept commenting on how much he liked it at random times through out the day! lol! :)

You have a keeper here with Turn Me On Art. I am inspired to try some new styles and perhaps "switch" things up a little more often. Ha, pun not intended, but I like it! ;)

You can WIN a light or electrical plate of YOUR CHOICE! US/CAN Only

Here's how to win:

1. Go to Turn Me On Art on Etsy then comment back here and share with us your favorite plate.

Freezer Homemade Fries & Sauce

I LOVE fries! I would make them more but it seems like a hassle when I'm trying to get dinner ready, kids are screaming, and I'm trying to dodge cheerios on the floor.

Then along came freezer fries and my life is far richer (lol)....not the ones you buy at the store that kinda look potato-like, but the real things. They are also MUCH cheaper. So instead of letting your potatoes sit around, and hoping that you remember to use them, you can make fries....yum....

To see my post on what to do with a 10lb. bag of potatoes go to The Coupon Project.

First wash and scrub potatoes ( I don't peel because I think it's miserable work)
Cut into 1/2 inch fries
Toss with oil (I usually use Canola)
Add salt and a little sugar (makes them crispy)

Place them on a baking sheets and bake at 475 for 20 minutes (they will only be half cooked)
After baking, let them cool on paper or dish towels Put in freezer on sheet (I have a small freezer so I used pie tins) Let them freeze solid (ab…

Gardner Village Series: Country Furniture & Gifts

Gardner Village is a local treasure. If you've never found your way down there, October is the month to do it! The shop owners love Halloween! The village becomes a witch village and many times, shop owners will even dress up. On my most recent trip to Gardner Village, I stopped in at Country Furniture & Gifts which is a store very ready for Halloween.

The store is located in part of the old restored flour mill built in 1877 by Archibald Gardner in West Jordan, Utah. The store is very family oriented and houses many built-to-last items such as dining room tables, sofas, beds and chairs. They are also famous for their rug room where many of their rugs are still USA made. As they say, "A rug makes a huge impact for a minimum investment to any room."

The home accessories and giftware are amazing! They have all sorts of decor for all sorts of personalities. Please be sure to pay them a visit. It's worth it!
