Life Changes-

The different takes in Life:

I feel that the changes of seasons are more or less the same 

as our life changes!

We grow, we mature and we fall.

Is in our power what we do when we fall.

Do we give up? or

Do we fight to become better?

But at times when we feel like our world is 

turning against us we give up.

And we shouldn't.

We are the ones in charge of our life & 

what we do with it!

They say wisdom come with age.

I don't agree.

Wisdom comes from our experiences in life,

what we do in moments of failure.

Just because our failures makes us better.

At times I feel like everything in life is 

suffocating me, but I get up and shrug it off

because I'm the one in charge of my life.

I don't want to look back and see that I

let my emotions ruined a perfect day.

It's sad to see what this world has come to.

So much violence, so much hate.

I see nature and hear the peace and the beauty

it shares everyday.

How the leaves changes it's color and how they fall.

The peace that nature brings to our hearts and we all

take it for granted.

People are capable,

at anytime in their lives,

of doing what they dream of - Paulo Coelho

I wish a lot of us could live by this quote.

let our dreams take us where we deserve to be.

Let's do it in peace and harmony.

I wrote this post from the bottom of my heart.

I don't show emotions because I was never taught how,

I want to better myself for my daughter and my husband.

They deserve the best!!!

And I'm willing to work on myself and my faults,

for they could enjoy a better me and a better life...

Let's see the world with new eyes.

Let's cherish everyday like it was the last time!

Life is short to live miserable and full of hate.

Let's live in Peace and Love!

Ciao. Craftiniers!!!

I saw this delicious platter on a video somewhere. 

and I had to make it.

But I made it my own way!!!

• 2 lbs of Chicken Breast (Cut into cubes or strips)
• 1 Pkg, Of Shredded Mozzarella
• 1 Pkg, Of Shredded Parmesan
• Basil
• 1 box of Pasta (I prefer Penne or Shells)

First Step:

In a pot put water and drizzle some Olive oil and salt.

bring it to a boil and then put your pasta.

Stir it from time to time to make sure is cooking properly.

While the pasta is in process, you should proceed to

making the chicken.

Second Step:

After the Chicken breast is cut into cubes or strips.

You start seasoning it.

I did mines with Garlic powder, Adobo (Goya), Black Pepper and 2 tbs of Olive

oil.

After seasoning get a pan (big enough to stir fry your chicken) Drizzle Olive oil,

and start stir frying your Chicken.

It'll be ready when chicken is golden a little bit put cut one little piece and check the

 inside of the chicken is white.

When is done set to the side.

Third Step:

Drain the pasta and put it back in the pot.

Also add your chicken to the same pot as the pasta.

Now you put the whole jar of sauce and at least 1 Tbs of water,

And stir the Chicken, Pasta and Sauce all together.

Fourth Step:

Prep your baking pan, drizzle with olive oil.

Then you add your chicken and pasta one small layer first, then you add 

Mozzarella, Parmesan and Drizzle a little bit of Basil.

Now you add another layer of your pasta.

And repeat.

(I only did 2 layers, but if you like more layers you can feel free to add them).

Fifth step:

Pre-heat oven on 375º degrees

And then put your dish in the oven for 20 mins.

And then enjoy!!!!

BON APPÉTIT! 

DIY Holiday Wreath-

Holiday Season Wreaths:

I'm SUPER excited to share this project with 

everyone because I been wanting to make this 

for a while now.

I'm big on the whole holiday decorations, especially now.

I love Christmas!!!

But right now is Thanksgiving Holiday, so Christmas has to 

wait a little longer lol!!!!

I know that most people buy their wreath already premanufactured.

But wouldn't it be so COOL to 

personalize your own!!!

The whole idea of a wreath to me is 

the colors and the arrangements, not every store 

has good quality or maybe the color isn't right.

So I decided to look into how to make my own.

I looked at a bunch of different videos and different techniques.

And I came up with one that is my own technique.

Materials:

• 18" Inch Wreath Wire
• 3 Rolls of 5 Yards of Burlap Ribbon
• 1 Roll of regular 1" Inch Ribbon ( Any color you prefer)
• Floral Wire
• 1 Stem of Flowers 
• Scissors
• A Wooden letter ( It could be for your First or Last name initial)
• Acrylic Paint ( Any color you desire)
• Paint brushes
• A leaves Garland ( This is optional, I wanted to give mine more style)
• Stapler & Staples ( Is so you could put the rope on the back of the letter)
• Jute Cord ( I got mines at Walmart, Is to tie your letter to the wreath)

The picture above is the beginning, is a bit 

complicated at the start but then it gets easier.

I learned to tuck between the 3 lines then twist.

Make sure that while you are putting the burlap on the 

wire that you are fluffing as you go.

It's starting to look great, Right???

I added Orange ribbon for that

Thanksgiving/Harvest feeling.

Plus it gives the wreath variety...

After that I added Flowers and Leaves.

Now it's coming along pretty good.

The flowers also give it a festive/thanksgiving!!!

Now all you have to do is set up the letter.

(Letter Is optional), I put the Letter "G"

Because that's my family's Last Name Initial.

I love everything about it. It gives my home that

welcoming feeling.

I'm so glad that I pushed myself to do something 

that I thought was challenging and impossible.

If you set your mind to do the things that you love, NOTHING is impossible and you'll be 

surprised with the results.

Let's push ourselves to be the best we can BE!!!

I hope everyone enjoyed my post!!!

And I hope we could inspire others and stay always positive.
