Today was one of those days when creativity clouded my mind and the best outlet for me was upcycling! what triggered this mood were a box of Trader Joe's Cocoa Baton(which I highly recommend! it's so yummy!) and empty Pringles container. I needed a pouch for my colored pencils and something to organize my cookie cutters in my small cupboard. I was cleaning up the house and almost threw the empty snack containers in the trash when I had the aha moment.
I took my dusty artsy kit out to play where I always keep a jar of Mod Podge, and a pad of scrapbook paper because you'll never know when you need to decoupage! :)
 I used one of the kids' plastic tray to hold my coloring pens, but not anymore...  
Now I regret throwing the other Pringles containers because the height fits perfectly in my cupboard which means I'd be able to organize small, baking gadgets (e.g. piping tips, polvoron molders, muffin liners) while utilizing the vertical space.
Other than upcycling, I was also able to do some DIY with my very own homemade apple chips! I love Bare Apple Chips but it just pains me to shell out $3.50 for each small bag every time I crave for it, which is almost always everyday. I read in the bag that it's baked, so I thought maybe I can make one myself instead because we still have green-apples-in-waiting in the fridge.
I googled for recipes and I chose this for it's simplicity, I just like my apple chips plain and simple without cinnamon powder or glaze on it. I followed the recipe to the letter and voila, my very own Apple Chips.

Nothing beats freshly made and not a pinch of preservatives added.
The kids and husband loved it too!
