Check out my centerpiece vases/made from a corn can and spaghetti can!!!

Over the weekend I have been crafting making some really cute things. Today I am going to share with you some vases I made from a corn can and spaghetti can. They turned out so cute and both were under 7.00 to make. Would be a great mothers day gift, the touch of homemade is always the best gift to give. You can even add flowers to your vases from your garden on wild flowers from the field, or plant your own in the can. It really is a cute idea, and after the flowers die you can use as utensil holder, or for pens and pencils for the Spring time. Well enough babbling check them out, and as always thanks for following my lil ole blog, I love having you stop by, and would love if you would send a friend :)

Take any can you wold like to use, vegetable, spaghetti, coffee, and tear off paper and clean throughly.

I used felt and measured around my can-using felt that matched my flowers I would use. I then glue it to the can.

Cut and trim off heads of any flower on artificial bush you would like any color.

Just take flowers and glue with glue gun and place where you would like fill in gaps. I used daisies of yellow and white. On the other can I did the can I put flowers on top and used matching felt to make it stand out for most of the base.

I also had a butterfly on one of my bushes of artificial flowers I used so I place it on top of one of my vases-as visiable in pics.

This idea is so cheap, clever, easy, and really pretty. Enjoy the pictures of my vases...........

Our family is strong believers AGAINST animal cruelty!!

My family has been against animal cruelty and have been proud supporters of our local organization Pound Partners for many years. My daughter donates her report card money, and we spent hundreds, to thousand donating money, provide food, treats, and misc to local shelters, to help abused, neglected, and unwanted animals. My daughter visits the pound in the summer walks dogs with myself and sometimes takes friends, and she often says she wants to be able to help all animals. I am proud to say my kids love animals and value them as much as my husband and I. We can help to provide some sort of love to the animal we visit even if its only for 10 minutes, or by providing food and money, to show we care. I like to share a comment I wrote and shared to try to pass stronger laws to punish animal cruelty here in Ohio!


People need to be accountable for harming animals. Abuse is awful to think about let alone have to suffer through. When abuse occurs to human beings it effects that person for the rest of there life, and yes they do have the choice to leave but some are so in fear that they can't. With animals they too are effected by abuse and know they do have feelings too. The effects of not being loved and being starved or beaten is an everlasting effect, but can be overcame by love and compassion,hope, and no more fear. They do not have ANY option to leave the abuse they do not have that ability. Lawmakers can help though, because we do have the ability to punish those that harm animals so that animals receive JUSTICE too. Animals Rights need to be looked at, abuse is not exceptable in any form, Even to mans best friend!


I am proud of how I raise my kids and sooooooooooo proud of how they love and work and support animals, willing to give up a video game, a new outfit, they rather help an animal with that money. We are not a wealthy family at ALL, but we can be PROUD of how we help in a cause that we support. Not, Having a fancy car doesn't bother me its well used 100 thousand miles paint coming off, a house NOT filled with prize posessions flashy things, I will pass take second hand and yard sale finds. Our family is not made up in jewlery and have fancy i-phones,i-pads,laptops, no not our family. We have less but can be proud of what we have given and accomplished for the animals. Our family has so much more than all those things! We share so much LOVE in our family for the 4 legged friends that many disregard. I see the Blessings we have given and am proud to have done what we have done as a family, and proud of what we have learned and showed as a FAMILY!!!

An animal that was rescued from the Noble County family that starved the animals, she was saved from Applacian SPCA in ohio, and look at her now the before and after pictures are amazing. We as a family donated money to help the rescue of several dogs including this one taken from their owners!! We helped as a family even though it was not all we would like to have. WE HELPED AND THAT IS WHAT MATTERS!!!

Look how skinny when brought to shelter, and look how she looks now after being in the shelter!!!

Check out this giveaway and party at one of my favorite blogs:)
