Marshmallow Snowmen



Everyone loves a Snowman right? These little Snowmen will brighten up anything!

Supplies

-large marshmallows $.96
-Halloween sprinkles- on hand
- toothpicks- on hand

Total cost $.96 +




















First put 4 toothpicks in a cup of water




















Take 3 marshmallows, smoosh on down. This will be the head.
Push one toothpick through the bottom marshmallow into the middle marshmallow.
Next push one through the head into the middle marshmallow.
Beginning of Snowman!


















Put the tip of a toothpick in the water. *This sounds weird, but seriously it makes the toothpick glide in the marshmallow so nicely! *
Start poking holes for eyes, nose and mouth. Pick out your sprinkles. The Halloween ones are perfect; orange and black!
Slide the sprinkles in the holes you prepared.
*Don't use your fingernail to push them in, it makes the sprinkle crack and then you get sprinkle dust all over the water that you just put on the marshmallow when you poked the holes, BIG mess :)*



















Continue down with buttons.


















Finished Snowmen! Aren't they just adorable!! If you fell the need you could use a jr mint, or something along those lines for a hat. Check back later in the week to see what I plan on using my cute little men for!

Barn wood reindeer

I was  recently invited to an ornament exchange. We were instructed to create 12 of the same ornaments. We then wrapped one of the ornaments and put the other 11 in a box. We passed around the wrapped ornaments and opened them, sort of like a white elephant exchange. That way we all got to oogle and google  each others ornaments.

I made reclaimed barn wood reindeer. I think they turned out super cute. What do you think? Anyone want a tutorial?

The winds of Change...

There came a time in our lives when our planning just didn’t make the cut. We recently moved in with family due to Chevy Man injuring his foot. I know a lot of you will understand that when you live paycheck to paycheck there just isn’t enough money to put aside for a rainy day. Now I am learning to pinch my pennies even harder than I did before. Chevy Man was in an accident on September 24th with a friend and injured his foot. The first doctors told us he broke his ankle and put him into a cast and on crutches for 8 weeks, with possible surgery. I was relieved that he wasn’t hurt more than he was, but what were we gonna do for 8 weeks!?!I called my Grandma and asked if it was alright if we stayed with her for a while. We were planning on moving to this area anyways at the end of the year so that just moved us faster and in a little less desirable situation than we would have liked. But I am so very thankful for my family. They are amazing.I packed all of our belongings into a 10x10 s…

[Guest Post] Summertime Blues

Today’s post is a part of the 20 something blogger blog swap. This post is written by Kelly over at Insert Clever Title here. Which by the way, why didn’t I think of that title?! It’s awesome, Kelly! She has a great blog and I am totally hooked. I have been reading it all day. She has a great writing style and outlook on life. I’m very excited to have her as my swap partner. This is the first every guest post here at Frugal Farmhouse, so I’m a little, ok a lot excited! Also when you check out her blog, you get to check out my post on saving money in the summer.




Something about summer has lost a bit of its magic for me. I don't know if it was the summer that I graduated from college, and was suddenly, jarringly thrown into the Real World, or if was something that had been sneaking up on me for years before that.Summer vacation doesn't exist for me anymore.It makes me both sad and, admittedly, a little bitter, to lose that sense of freedom. My reward for making it through all tho…
