TGIF! Etched Glass Storage Jars

Etched Glass Storage Jars

Keep pantry staples organized with a set of glass storage jars customized with etched lettering. I LOVE these! Aren't they fabulous? They look great as storage jars in the kitchen or bathroom, but I was also thinking about gifts. Especially teacher gifts. A nice jar with their name etched on it would be so nice for them to use on their desk. How about an etched baking dish as a gift. Wouldn't it be great to receive a pie dish or baking dish as a gift with your name etched on it?
The jars above are called cracker jars. They can be purchased at Wal Mart in several different sizes

1. Clean and dry the glass. Using painter's tape, mark off the area you want to etch. Attach vinyl stick-on letters and decorative tape; press hard to ensure they are attached firmly.

2. Cover work surfaces (be sure to work in a well-ventilated area). Put on protective gloves and an old shirt with long sleeves. Paint an even layer of etching cream onto glass. Let stand for amount of time indicated by manufacturer's instructions.

3. Rinse with warm water in a stainless steel sink. (Avoid porcelain sinks; the cream damages glazed surfaces.) Remove letters and tape.

Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these.

Rambling Thursday's Laughter Is The Best Medicine!!!

The Service:
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church.
It was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it.
The seven-year-old had been staring at th e plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning, Alex."
"Good morning," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque.
"What is this?" Alex asked.
"Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service."
Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Little Alex's voice was trembling and barely audible when he asked, "Which service, the 9:45 or the 11:15?"

Weight Loss Plan:
A man calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.
The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.
She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.
The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."
Without a second thought, he takes off after her.
A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.
The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.
On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.
He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program.
The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning and beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.
She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me."
Well, he's out the door after her like a shot.
This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.
So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.
Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised.
He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program.
"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."
"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."
The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads,"If I catch you, you are mine!!!"
He lost 63 pounds that week.

Medical Problem:
An old woman came into her doctor's office and confessed to an embarrassing problem. "I do that all the time, Doctor Johnson, but they're soundless, and they have no odor. In fact, since I've been here, I did it no less than twenty times. What can I do?"
"Here's a prescription, Mrs. Harris. Take these pills three times a day for seven days and come back and see me in a week."
Next week an upset Mrs. Harris marched into Dr. Johnson's office. "Doctor, I don't know what was in those pills, but the problem is worse! I'm doing it just as much, but now it smells terrible! What do you have to say for yourself?"
"Calm down, Mrs. Harris," said the doctor soothingly. "Now that we've fixed your sinuses, we'll work on your hearing!!!"

This & That Junk Drawer Wednesday!! How Vinegar Can Make Your Kitchen Sparkle

Now is the time to sweep out those winter dust bunnies, freshen up the home and make your kitchen shine!

20 Ways Vinegar Can Help Your Kitchen Sparkle

1.Microwave Cleaner: Use vinegar & water to clean your microwave–cleans up easily no matter how grungy it is! Mix 1/4 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water in a bowl, place in microwave with wooden spoon or stir stick in the water*) and heat for 3 - 5 minutes. The vinegar also acts as a freshener and deodorizer. You can also use this water when wiping down, but again–the water is very hot. Be careful.
2.Coffee Pot & Kettle Cleaner: Clean scum and lime deposits from your coffee pots & kettles...Fill the coffee tank with 6 cups of vinegar, then top up the tank with water. Turn on the coffee pot as you would when making coffee (minus the coffee grounds). The machine will heat the vinegar and water as it enters the pot. This is for a 12 cup coffee machine, if yours is a different size, just use 50/50 vinegar and water. Once the pot is full, pour the hot vinegar and water back in the tank and run through the process again. Dump the hot vinegar and water then scrub the pot inside and out in hot soapy water. There should be no signs of brown coffee film at this point. Next add plain water in the coffee tank and turn on the machine. The hot water will run through and rinse out the vinegar. I do this step twice using fresh water for the second rinse cycle. The vinegar not only helps clean the coffee pot, but also flushes out any buildup in the tank and tubes
3.Pots & Pans Stubborn Stain Scrub: mix 50/50 flour and salt, add vinegar to make a paste. Using a sponge, rub into stains then wash with hot soapy water and rinse off.
4.Oven Rinse: Wipe the inside of your oven with vinegar to remove the residue left behind by oven cleaner.
5.Glassware: To make your glassware sparkle and prevent hard water spots, add 1/2 to 1 cup of vinegar to your rinse water.
6.Dish Detergent Extender: Make your liquid dish soap last longer by adding 3 to 4 tablespoons of vinegar to a bottle. Shake to mix. Also adds extra cleaning power to your detergent (make sure detergent ingredients are safe to use with vinegar).
7.Sink Taps: Bring a shine to Kitchen taps by rubbing with a cloth soaked in vinegar. If you have heavy deposits around the base of the tap, soak paper towels with vinegar and stuff firmly on top of the grime buildup. After a few hours you should be able to wash clean.
8.Kitchen Sink: Use vinegar to make your stainless steel sink shine: First clean with hot soapy water, drain, then use a clean cloth soaked in some white vinegar and scrub the sink. Sprinkle baking soda around the sink then scrub it down with a damp sponge.
9.Kitchen Sponge Freshener: Regularly clean & freshen kitchen sponges by soaking them in vinegar and water.
10.Refrigerator Cleaning: After cleaning your refrigerator, rinse wipe with a 50/50 vinegar and water rinse to help prevent mildew.
11.Stained Plastic Dishes: Soak stained plastic dishes overnight with hot soapy water and 1/4 cup vinegar. Wash clean the next day.
12.Clean stains from coffee mugs, tea pots, tea cups and fine china by soaking them overnight in vinegar or make a paste with vinegar and table salt
13.Kitchen Drain Cleaner: Use vinegar & baking soda to clear clogged kitchen drains.
14.Stove Tops: Clean stove tops, stained element rings and drip pans with a paste made with cream of tartar and vinegar (50/50) or by applying vinegar soaked paper towels for a few hours.
15.Softscrub Cleaner: Make your own softscrub cleaner with vinegar, baking soda and liquid dish detergent–perfect for grimy spots on appliances.
Homemade Softscrub Cleaner Recipe
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup liquid dish detergent
1/8 cup - 1/4 cup vinegar
Mix the baking soda and dish detergent first, then add the vinegar. Adjust the baking soda or vinegar amounts until you have the consistency you like working with.
Tips:
Just use whatever’s on sale or a generic brand of dish detergent and you’ve got yourself some super cheap, yet very effective, homemade softscrub!
Use the amount of vinegar that gives you the consistency of softscrub that you prefer. Vinegar’s a great grime buster–so don’t be shy with it.
If you just want to do some spot cleaning and don’t need a large amount of softscrub, give the spot a light squirt of dish detergent, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda on top and scrub. You won’t need to bother with the vinegar for small spots like this.
Try heating the vinegar in the microwave first before mixing it in with the other ingredients. You don’t want it super hot, but a warm temperature that’s comfortable to work with.
16.Homemade Produce Wash: Make your own homemade produce wash with vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice and water.
Homemade Produce Wash Recipe
1 cup water
1 cup vinegar
2 TBS baking soda
2 TBS lemon juice
Directions:
Mix ingredients then pour in clean spray bottle. Spray fresh vegetables & fruit generously. Sit for 5 minutes then rinse off well.
Note: Make sure to first mix ingredients in deep container since there will be some fizzing from the baking soda & vinegar
17.Crockpot Cleaner: Vinegar is a good crust buster for crockpots.Fill crockpot 1/4 full with vinegar, then add warm water to cover the stain line. Let soak overnight with temperature on low. In the morning scrub with a nylon scrubber and hot soapy water. This method is also helpful for removing sauce stains (tomato based sauces can discolor the crock, this helps remove them).
18.Homemade Household Cleaner: Make your own citrus cleaners, great for counter tops (test surfaces first before using).
Homemade Citrus Household Cleaner
Fill a large, wide mouth jar with citrus peels (such as lemons, oranges, limes, grapefruits). Cover the peels with white household vinegar. Let brew for four weeks, shaking the jar occasionally (just to mix it up a bit). Strain twice
Before filling the jar, make sure the citrus peels are scrubbed well in baking soda and water to remove any chemicals or pesticides. It’s a lot easier if you do this before peeling the fruit
19.Cookware Rust Remover: Strip buildup and rust from old cast iron cookware with 50/50 vinegar & water, then re-season.
20.Blender Cleaner: Use vinegar to give your blender a good cleaning. Right after using, add warm water and a good splash of vinegar to blender. Turn on and let the blender work the liquid for about a minute. Pour out, rinse well and the blender container should be nice and clean.

Cake-Frosting Stepping Stones & Fat Free Carrot Cake!!!

Cake-Frosting Stepping Stone

These unique garden stones are a piece of cake!

Make just one of these "cake-frosting" stepping-stones and you'll be hooked. Success is guaranteed when you follow these simple (pardon the pun) step-by-step instructions. Best of all, you'll recapture the mud-pie-making joy of childhood.

The items you can use to make these one-of-a-kind disks are limited only by your imagination—or by whatever you stumble across around your house. There are those leftover tiles, the seashells you collect on your winter vacations, even that can of old keys. So take a creative leap: Make one stepping-stone, and you may have so much fun you'll fill your yard and garden with them.

Lay Out Your Design

Anything can make a cool mosaic pattern—tiles, glass beads, wood letters, polished rocks, found objects, buttons, and yes, even those old tools, nuts and bolts you bought at a garage sale. Whatever you're using, arrange it first on a dry stepping-stone alongside the stone you're covering. Then you can simply transfer and position items without guesswork.

Get in Step - Create a Stone!

One big advantage of using this moldless system is that you can make lots of stepping-stones without multiple forms or having to wait for the concrete to harden so you can reuse one form.

THE BRICK

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street,
going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.

He was watching for kids darting out from between parked
cars and slowed down when he thought he saw
something. As his car passed, no children appeared.
Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!
He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to
the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry
driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up
against a parked car shouting, 'What was that all about and who are you? Just what
the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that
brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why
did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic.
'Please, mister.....please, I'm sorry but I didn't
know what else to do,' He pleaded. 'I threw the
brick because no one else would stop....' With tears
dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth
pointed to a spot just around a parked car.. 'It's my
brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and fell
out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him
up.'

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help
me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and
he's too heavy for me..'

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling
lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the
handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took
out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh
scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything
was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless
you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too
shook up for words, the man simply watch ed the boy!
push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk
toward their home.

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very
noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair
the dented side door. He kept the dent there to
remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life
so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to
get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and
speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have
time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's
our choice to listen or not.

WOOL DRYER BALLS

Have you priced these already made?...Well it is a lot cheaper to make your own...

Here is the instructions for making your own wool dryer balls.
Materials:
Wool yarn
Scissors
Crochet hook
Old pantyhose
piece of string
Instructions:
1.Wind your wool into a nice, tight ball to the size of your preference. Use the crochet hook to tuck the end under the yarn.
2.Stick the yarn ball in an old pantyhose leg and tie the string around the opening so it doesn’t get out and fly around your washing machine. Throw them in with a load of clothing you are washing in hot water. They will felt quicker this way.
3.When they are done washing, you can throw them in the dryer with the clothes and take them out when the clothes are done.
4.Let them dry overnight and then wrap another layer of yarn over the felted wool dryer ball. This helps keep the wool dryer ball tighter. Repeat steps 2 & 3
Tips For Wool Dryer Balls
If the yarn is machine washable, don’t use it for this project.
Use a crochet hook to tuck in the ends of the yarn so the ball stays tight and doesn’t loosen up through use.
Wind the balls about 10-10.5 inches in circumference prior to felting, they will shrink as they felt.
When first making the balls and felting them, you can toss them in with loads of laundry to save water and time. Be aware there may be some dye bleeding though if it’s not colorfast yarn–throw them in with a load of towels in similar colors.
When ready to use, start with a couple balls in the dryer then work your way up to the amount of balls that give you the best results.
The wool balls may get pills on them with use, just give them a shave with a sweater shaver as needed (if you want–otherwise ignore!).
