DIY Jewelry Organizer by my sis, Jennifer

One of my most favorite gifts from this holiday season was a jewelry organizer that my sister, Jennifer, created for me!  Here it is all hung up and I love it!  We used some S hooks to hang the necklaces and at the left top corner I hung up one of my most precious show gifts from Beauty and the Beast, made by Rick and Kim from the beautiful fabric that Belle's dress was made out of!  Could you see yourself making something like this?

The Pioneer Woman's Iced Coffee Concentrate...aka-Pure Bliss!

If you are an iced coffee addict, then you  must try this recipe!  The full directions are on the Pioneer Woman-Ree Drummond's site and I would just go there to follow her delightful instructions!  Below is my first time making this iced coffee yumminess! :)


I only did half a batch so I poured half a pound of coffee into a 6 qt. container I got at a local restaurant supply store.



Then, I poured in 4 quarts of water and mixed it up with the coffee.



That just screams "YUM" to me! :)

Then I put on the pretty red cover and put it in the fridge for 8 hours.

Next, I got a large bowl and put a strainer over the top of it.


I covered the strainer with cheese cloth as recommended by Ree and it did make a huge difference!  There were no grounds in my concentrate at all!

Let the pouring begin!




Once I had all the contents in the large bowl, I transferred it to a container that would easily fit in the fridge.



I filled up a cup with ice, poured in enough of the concentrate to fill half the cup.


I added some Coffee-mate and voila!  A delicious iced coffee treat at a fraction of the price!



Enjoy!
