So we dicided to make a cristmas tree outside as well. We have put popcorn garland and edible oranments. Here are a couple of recipes:

BIRD FEEDER

2 pkg. Pillsbury refrigerated bread sticks
4 eggs
Bag of bird seed
Pam cooking spray

Separate eggs and set aside egg whites. Separate bread sticks and form into a log. Brush bread sticks with egg white. Cover all sides, roll bread sticks in bird seed and cover entirely. Roll into your favorite shape. (We used hearts, bows, squares and circles.) Spray cookie sheets with Pam. Carefully place bread stick shapes on cookie sheets. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool. Hand bird feeder from a tree using yarn or string.

BIRD FEEDER

1 c. cornmeal
1 c. ground suet or peanut butter
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. water
1 c. bird seed

1. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, suet/peanut butter, sugar and flour. Stir in water.
2. Microwave on HIGH for 3-5 minutes or until mixture is very thick.
3. Stir in bird seed. Cool.
4. Press into a pie pan or mold (milk carton, sour cream container, etc.).
5. Put in the refrigerator to cool and harden. 6. Unmold and place outside.

We moved in to the new townhome last week and I am going to sit down tonight and come up with a budget. I love where I moved to I can walk everywhere and it is right next to work. The downside more places will deliver to me so I will have to watch that. O.k. We moved in to the new townhome last week and I am going to sit down tonight and come up with a budget.

We have been eating out like crazy and just spending money on things we don't need.

I will be moving in to a new townhome in the next month and my goal is to by that time have a plan "budget" if you will so I can stop being neg. every month. ]]> kittykatstrong http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/blogs/kittykatstrong/24-setting-plan.html
