Hi Ya’ll!! I am a creative, coupon clipping, and frugal living mom in the Tri-Cities TN. I have been couponing for over 15 years, and I am always looking for ways to save a buck.I love to cook in my crock pot, look for bargins,decorate and makes crafts on the cheap too, and shop Consignment sales. I like to encourage local folks to shop local by doing reviews of local businesses. A Frugal Chick always gives back and I share ideas on how to do that too.

Cut scrapbook paper to fit the blocks. Trim the paper slightly smaller than the wood (use corner trimmer to round edges of paper, optional).
Apply scrapbook paper to blocks using a thin layer of Modge Podge and allow to dry. Lightly sand the ends of the paper to make it look worn and even with the blocks.
Use the distressing ink on the paper to give it an antique look (optional).
Now it is time for the fun part! Adding the vinyl letters! Separate the vinyl letters from the backing.
Apply the vinyl lettering to blocks using the vinyl transfer tape (follow manufactures directions for your vinyl transfer tape.)
Seal the blocks with another thin coat of Modge Podge, allow to dry and your project is complete!
Let’s get one more look at the finished project! So cute!

thanksgiving snack mix
• Bugles brand chips (2 bags is plenty)
• classic knot mini pretzels
• candy corn or corn nuts (i used both)
• dried fruit (i like craisins)
• sunflower seeds

• candy corn or corn nuts (i used both)
• dried fruit (i like craisins)
• sunflower seeds
gather your supplies and buy equal amounts of ingredients. i was delighted to find all of them, except for the Bugles, in the bulk foods aisle. yay, bulk foods does it again! (i had a tough time spotting the classic candy corn and almost had to get the christmas colored candy corn. yikes, that woulda killed it. luckily the orange candy corn was just an aisle away. phew.) combine the snack mix in a giant bowl–adding more and stirring as you go–whistling (and tasting) while you work. if you need to make party favors or even a hostess gift, scoop your snack mix into cellophane bags and tie with baker’s twine or ribbon. be sure to add a description card of your snack mix too, everything in it represents a special thanksgiving memory!
happy thanksgiving.
