I took the photo of me with one of my babies - and made this:

Go ahead - zoom in and see what's there!

"Mom,

You are the glue that holds are family together 

and makes all the pieces fit.

We love you so much, Happy Mother's Day." 

For my mosaic, I picked a simple photo without much detail - That's best.  I simply filled it in by transferring 4 albums of family photos from my Flickr account (i.e. "Christmas At Mom's", "Fall Kid Photos", etc....) and hit Submit!

Since Pixable allows you to simply transfer photos (or entire albums of photos) from Facebook, Flickr, Picasa,or Photobucket in 1 Easy Step - this photo mosaic took me all of 10 minutes to make - and it will only cost me $5.95 SHIPPED!!  If you use that zoomy tool to zoom in - you can see that all the pictures are clearly visible still - I think this is really, really cool.

This will make an AMAZING Mother's Day gift - Here's how:

First, GO HERE and sign in.

• Pick your "Main Photo" - or central image. A good shot of mom, for example!
• Pull in photos from your and your siblings Facebook, Picasa, etc... accounts so that you have a couple good albums worth of Family Photos.  These will be the tiles that compose your mosaic.  Pixable works it's mosaic magic and VOILA!  Suddenly you have a beautiful present!
• You'll have the option to enter a message on the back - it's free.  I made up the quote for the sample above - but be creative! 
• Preview your order and enter coupon code "Time2Mosaic" at checkout to get this amazing discount!

How easy is that???   This special offer will end on Sunday 4/18 - so go ahead and spend a few minutes creating this gift tonight or tomorrow!

Birthday Cakes On A Budget: Airplane Cake

As spring & summer begin to roll around, birthday parties move away from Chuck E Cheese's, roller rinks, and arcades - and into our own backyards.  With the home party, comes the home cake - about 90% cheaper and yummier than a store cake (In my opinion!)

If you've taken advantage of cake and frosting deals at the grocery - your total cost to bake and ice a 9x13" cake will be about $1 (including eggs & oil).

If you buy a 9x13" Sheet Cake at a grocery or Walmart, you'll pay $20.  A "theme" cake will cost you upwards of $40.  In my family - $40 is about all we spend on each child's birthday, so naturally we opt for the home-cake :)

If you too are trying to cut costs on your child's birthday party this year - I'll be helping you out with a new segment on "amateur" cake decorating.  These aren't expensive, they aren't fancy, and they don't take much know-how.

Let's start with a super-easy cake:

The Airplane Cake

Easiest Airplane Cake.  Ever.

• Bake a cake, any size, any flavor.
• Dye a can of icing blue, and put in the microwave for about 20 seconds, or just until you could scoop/pour it over the cake easily.  I still had to spread mine around some, but warming it up for just a bit gives it a little shine and makes it spread much more smoothly.
• Put your pre-bought airplane somewhere on the cake, push it down a bit so the wheels anchor it in the cake.
• Fill an icing bag with white icing (canned or otherwise) and use one of your large tips to pipe out some big, cheerful cumulus clouds here, there and in the corners.  If you don’t have an icing bag, you can use a ziploc bag with a hole snipped in the corner.  If you find yourself entirely bagless, like me this time, you could even spoon all your icing into one of those cookie presses.  For clouds this billowy, you don’t need precision.
• Make a curly-q of chocolate chips trailing from the airplane to give it that “Just flew in to wish you a Happy Birthday!!” look.
• Put it in the fridge and wait for party time.

Want more cake ideas?  Stay tuned for next Friday!

Make London Broil taste like Steak!

Do you plan on buying some of the $1.98 /lb London Broil at Food Lion this week? (See Food Lion Deals HERE)  Well, if you're not sure what to do with it (That's me!) I found us a great summer grilling recipe on WeUseCoupons!

Marinated Grilled London Broil

For this easy marinade, mix up equal parts of:
Ketchup
Vinegar *Go HERE to print $1/2 Heinz Vinegar
Soy sauce
Minced Garlic

Put meat & marinade in a ziploc bag in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.   While you're grilling the steak (leave a little pink, otherwise it will get tough), boil the leftover marinade for a few minutes (to kill any bacteria from raw meat).  Slice meat thinly, and then drizzle over top of steak.  Another grill idea? Steak Kabobs!

I often get whatever beef is on sale freshly ground by the butcher (totally free) or cubed for stews and whatnot.  However, this isn't the best beef to have ground for burgers on the grill.  It is very lean and drier than other cuts - so if you do use it for burgers, be prepared to mix in some tomato sauce, or add a bit of ground italian sausage or chopped bacon to the patties, etc...  You're just looking to add juice or fat content there.

There are a some more London Broil recipes on WeUseCoupons - just Login HERE and scroll all the way down.  On the bottom right you'll see the words "Forum Jump" as seen below.  I just scrolled to Food Lion and saw "Flipping for a great recipe!"   They have a nice idea for cooking this lean meat in stir-fry as well!
