Bread Slicer Review

Image
I recently bought a new bread maker, the Frigidaire 15 Program Automatic Bread Maker from Walmart, and while searching for a new bread maker to buy, I found  Amazon was advertising this collapsible bread slicer. I did a little research and discovered that majority of folks who bought it gave it a great rating.  So needless to say, I bought one.  My first thought was when I took it out of the box is that you can cut the bread in different thicknesses. It has  4 different thicknesses:  0.59”/ 0.79”/ 0.98”/ 1.18". It stands up well after opening. Once I had my bread ready, I held it up against the front of the slicer, took a long serrated knife, and began slicing. The slicer moved around a bit and I didn’t like that so I put some grip shelf liner under it. That worked like a charm to keep it steady. Plus you don’t have to worry about cutting your fingers. For every slice, I took each cut slice of bread and moved it to the cutting board.  VOILA!!  I ...

DIY Laundry Room Sign

Image
I don't have a fancy laundry room. It's in a storage area in the unfinished part of our basement. As I was cleaning up the area, I thought I would like to put a small sign just to spruce it up a bit. Looking on the internet, I saw this cute sign (below) that caught my attention. I really didn't want to spend $20 on a little sign and then thinking about it, I thought why not make it myself. Hobby Lobby was my first thought to find an unfinished wood sign and I was correct, they did have something I liked and it was only $2. I had everything else in my arsenal of crafts to make it. If you are interested in making one similar, here's what you need: Unfinished wood sign Chalk paint   Cricut or another custom cutter Vinyl  whatever color you would like Cutting mat Sponge brush Transfer paper Cricut Scraper & Spatula Tool Instructions: The first thing you need to do is get out all your supplies and get organized. Paint the sign and let it dry. Decide what font & size ...
