Trish and I are excited to introduce you all to another set of “sister-in-law” bloggers! These gals have some incredible creativity and we are happy to have them stopping by our blog today! Take it away girls…Hi Everyone! We’re happy to be here today, sharing our blog with all of you. We’re Emily and Jaime from Everyday Art.
We’re two sister-in-laws (Jaime married Emily’s handsome older brother) who believe that everyday can be filled with creative outlets, and we love to explore them. Here we are with some of our kids.
It’s so fun to have a sister-in-law that you want to find excuses to talk to each other–it’s great! We started a blog a little over a year ago because we used to live next to each other (literally a few doors down) and now that we are states away from one another we needed a way to bounce ideas of one another, show each other our projects, share recipes, etc.
We have 5 basic areas where we create our “art” (playing chef, artistic home decor, throwing memorable parties, hand crafts, and fun with the kids) so we wanted to share our favorite in each category real quick before our Fruit Salsa tutorial.
Creating Beautiful, Tasty food:
Light and fluffy and unique and dazzling and fun. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe this one. We LOVE to cook and bake and try several new recipes a week, so new foods are always up-and-coming on our blog.
Creating Artistic Home Decor:
We both made a pair of apple blossom canvases, which turned out beautiful and unique to each of our styles. (Here’s Jaime’s). And we’ve shared the tutorial with you! Other of our favorites include the tree mural and turtle/frog canvases we did for our kids’ rooms.
Creating Hand Crafts:
These flowers turned out great and were fun to make. Emily made an adorable yarn wreath with them, but they’ve been picked up by several hair-bow blogs–how cute would that be? We also knit and crochet and have made all sorts of beanies, Christmas stockings (haven’t posted those yet, but they turned out adorable), animals, even dresses.
Creating Fantastic Parties:
Such a cute party theme for such a cute girl! We love parties–we’ve thrown all sorts of fun ones–a pink puppy party, a garden lady bug party, a vintage Strawberry Shortcake party, a superhero party….
Creating Memories with our Kids:
Sooo fun–even for grown up! No one can resist giving it a squish with their fingers. We did it on a cold afternoon, but wouldn’t it be fun for a scientist bday party? or an art party even….

We love creating lives that we want to live in and invite you to follow along and see if you don’t find some new recipes or projects you’d like to try. 
Now, without further ado, here is a quick and easy and super delicous recipe Jaime whipped up one day for Fruit Salsa.
I’d like to say that I knew what I was doing for this, but in reality, I had 1 hour until I needed to be at a pot-luck summer BBQ with zero ideas in my head of what to do….
Sooo, I invented a Fruit Salsa. It turned out really tasty, but honestly the best part was that it tasted good even though I just threw in whatever fruit I had in the kitchen. I think if I planned to make it, I’d probably stress a lot over what to put in it. As is, it was what I had and it was great.

I think if I planned to make it, I’d probably stress a lot over what to put in it. As is, it was what I had and it was great. The best part was the yummy pie-crust cookies I made to eat it with. YUM-O!
Here’s what I did:
Salsa
Chop together:
2 apples
3 small mangoes
some honeydew melon
a few strawberries
Add a dash of cinnamon and yer done.
Pie-Crust Cookies
Make (or buy) some pie crust.
Roll it out, cut it into strips.
Put on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle with lots of sugar and cinnamon.
Bake until golden.
It really turned out yummy. I could go for some more right now…. And seriously, with that rather odd assortment of fruit, I think you could put whatever you wanted in it and it would turn out really good. I think the base recipe would be to use 2 chopped apples and then about the same amount or double of a particularly soft and sweet fruit like the mangoes or some berries. I’m getting hungry just thinking of it.
Thank you Emily and Jaime, we have enjoyed having you here today at Uncommon sharing lots of fatastic ideas and yummy creations!!
We hope that you will click on over to see the rest of this post!
