I finally put them to use. A while back I grab this roll of tape without really paying any attention and was mad that is was double sided. Somehow this roll of "useless" tape was sitting on the top pf junk in my junk drawer and turns out this roll of tape was priceless! It's perfect for placing stencils on the wall and it sticks over and over. I didn't have to replace it when I moved to another area! Awesome! I'm sure people already know about this but it's new to me, and just incase theres someone out there that had not thought of this, I wanted to share! Best part, I got the tape from a dollar store! :) <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkYVD6iVr-8unyLysY29PfG7w307OmEVFk2lW49F_euAFI0LJ7YmbSw5oUgaJOlTCeWBKm3Rq9OhfML5ml_AzG-7Gs3ORaBQop1aK_1ZvekEdq42JzQjREos3K5_pBp88vEUfl-w/s640/blogger-image--994221347.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkYVD6iVr-8unyLysY29PfG7w307OmEVFk2lW49F_euAFI0LJ7YmbSw5oUgaJOlTCeWBKm3Rq9OhfML5ml_AzG-7Gs3ORaBQop1aK_1ZvekEdq42JzQjREos3K5_pBp88vEUfl-w/s640/blogger-image--994221347.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgntxy4eTBMS7ccWHLaF9519GWBGIj2vxQtdCCGqg044vs6s-DI86GnU0eh_aQFOSCE119REB_4sNqlk_L2fSeQQ9YGG0dGzwbtM4cIOqiZnvLgpyZJg_y4r3udyt485ubHWCV_GQ/s640/blogger-image--1365985748.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgntxy4eTBMS7ccWHLaF9519GWBGIj2vxQtdCCGqg044vs6s-DI86GnU0eh_aQFOSCE119REB_4sNqlk_L2fSeQQ9YGG0dGzwbtM4cIOqiZnvLgpyZJg_y4r3udyt485ubHWCV_GQ/s640/blogger-image--1365985748.jpg" /></a></div>Originalsbyconnieionehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07984461746872485123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28064473.post-62631806531354734812011-07-09T17:22:00.000-07:002011-07-09T17:22:02.590-07:00Check out this great blogs giveaway, Dont miss out!

Of course we had baby Melina (niece) for the first week and now I'm trying to get excited about going back to work and failing miserably!!! I did get some primitive decor lots on e-bay BUT one person could not pay yet and another never even attempted to pay! That is the first time I have ever had any real problems as a seller. :( anyhow I wanted to share the pillow cases, towels and tiny pillow I stitched up this week. Starting tonight Or in the morning I'm starting a Hexagon Star quilt with my old left over fabrics from the dolls. Wish me luck for it's going to take <em>FOREVER</em> and I have A.d.d. and will probley get bored with it fast. <br />

I'm about to share the old and new pictures....PLEASE don't judge to harshly, at the time the mustard yellow was kinda cool, not really but I thought it was then. :( My house is very small, more cottage sized I guess but it was in the budget at the time and in one of the best school districts for my three kiddos. Needless to say, the word "outdated" best explains it. It has been fun fixing up and changing slowly. It feels good to look back and see the differences. OK.....are you brave enough to look? <br />

I was itching to make something sweet, simple and primitive tonight. I made up these little girl with one of my own patterns from "thee good olde days" <br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a nice night. I will be searching mags and blogs in the next 2-weeks to find inspiration for my kitchen makeover. It's time!!! Plus I REALLY need to re-paint my bedroom, I took over my sons room and its light blue (UGHHH) you can see in the background of the picture below. :( I'm not sure which color would look best with my antique bedroom set and the new hard wood flooring, if anyone out there has ideas let me know, PLEASE! direct me to a blog or web-site :)<br />
That's all for now....I'm off to bed! <br />

A small lake connected to Lake Michigan. A place I went to a LOT as a kid. My dad had been talking about a "bottle dump" for years. He and my aunt had found a bunch of old antique bottles in the past, so we thought we'd search it out...no such luck but we still made the best of it. We had a scare here in the last month. Dad was having heart issues we were told but it turns out he is ok he just has to watch himself. THANK GOD!!! <br />

I started a new full time job in July of last year so that has taken my days when I used to blog. Plus dealing with all the animals and and my children and so on and so on.<br />
Jimmy and I went to Italy at Christmas time. We started in Rome, the Vatican City and took the train across the country to Florence, Venice, Pisa and of course the country side of Tuscany and Siena. The country side is EVERYTHING you see in the movies and so much more.I cant even imagine how the country looks in the spring or summer. Breath taking I bet!<br />
Here are a few photos, we took hundreds but I do not have the patience to sit here to long uploading. Plus lets just be honest it would get boring for you to look at as well. tee hee<br />

Like most of you I spend a lot of cash on face care products always trying to find that miricle in a bottle but hate the prices :( </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">BUT what I really hate MOST of all is the idea of myself and my daughters putting all of those chemicals on our skin knowing how we absorb them all. I found these and wanted to post and give them a try. Let me know if you try them and give me feedback. I will be trying them right along with you. Please becareful not to use anything you are alergic to.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">Gentle cleanser~</span></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"> </span> said to be a good alternative to harsh soaps. This cleanser has soothing properties that make it especially good for sensitive or mature skin.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">1~Cup whole milk or soymilk</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">1/2~ cup whole oats</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">1~tablespoon honey</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">~Pour all ingredients into a blender, turn on high until smooth and creamy.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">~Pour into a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in refrigerator.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">~To use: Place a small amount in the palm of your hand, then gently massage into your skin. Rinse well with warm water and pat your skin dry. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Anti-Aging Cream~</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Don't forget an important part of the complexion: your neck. This evening neck cream is rich in skin-conditioning oils. For soft, smooth skin, massage a small amount into your face and neck nightly.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">2~tablespoons coconut oil</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">1~tablespoon olive oil</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">1~tablespoon grated cocoa butter</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">1~teaspoon vitamin E oil</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">~Mix all ingredients in a small pan and heat gently on the stovetop until the mixture warms and just begins to melt.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">~Remove from heat and stir until completely melted and mixed. Pour into a clean jar with a lid. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">~To Use: Massgae a small amount into your neck and face at night before going to bed.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Restoring Mask</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">As we age, our skin becomes drier. This moisturizing mask plumps up dry skin with egg yolks, which are an excellent sourse of skin-softening lecithin. If you have extremely dry skin, use weekly.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">1~egg yolk</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">1~teaspoon olive oil</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">1 to 2~tablespoons mashed avocado</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">~Mix all ingredients and stir until smooth.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">~To Use: Spread on damp skin. Let sit 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water; pat dry. </span></strong></div>Originalsbyconnieionehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07984461746872485123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28064473.post-65036579923526760792010-02-17T10:15:00.000-08:002010-02-17T10:15:17.896-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzbRo2quEq6WXqDSnmm97IDeBjZ8848Ly6sffIsoXwVBWnIlWBpqIUK1_y7xcm_6xrWKwRtk2KVXOHiURuXmHlYo7rpSuzSyY33F8WNx75avmV_HYnSw00e03Tpi08OThQgIJl9Q/s1600-h/mohair+rachel+004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzbRo2quEq6WXqDSnmm97IDeBjZ8848Ly6sffIsoXwVBWnIlWBpqIUK1_y7xcm_6xrWKwRtk2KVXOHiURuXmHlYo7rpSuzSyY33F8WNx75avmV_HYnSw00e03Tpi08OThQgIJl9Q/s320/mohair+rachel+004.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Thank goodness, I got some sleep last night :) I just finnished up a new sweetie pie Mohair bear. I added the little dress this time. I like them nakie but thought I'd try a little something new. <br />
<br />
The kiddos and I are going to my X~grand mothers in law tonight for dinner. WE hardly see her anymore so we will make the long trip. <br />
<br />
I'm planning a blog "give a way" but have to figure out how to do it and what to give.....hmmmmm, should I give a mohair OR a prim item? Any feedback would be great! <br />
<br />

I sure did! last time I looked at the clock it was 4:56 am and I get up at 6:00 ~ 6:30 to get the kids off to school. Although I did finnish this bear last night.

He just passed away last August and he is missed. I use to love listening to him talk about the days he served. I only wish I had recorded him now to play to my children. I looked the internet over for a great american flag image to post and then thought why not share photos of my own Vet hero. I love you grandpa!</span><br />
