POT HOLDERS-From a Recipe Reader! THANK YOU:)
Some of my favorites were the handprint hot pads. trace their hands onto felt, cut out with pinking shears, and stitch to plain or checked hot pads with the name, date, and age on them. a set of each right/left. felt $0.20 per sheet (walmart) plain hot pads $1.77, permanent fabric marker for the names/dates $2.00. maybe $5. or $6. per kid, and they keep well.

3 Tablespoons of beeswax
? cup sesame oil
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon of honey
2 Tablespoon calendula tea
3 drops of lavender essential oil
? teaspoon of baking soda

Mother's Day Goodies
Mother's Day Goodies
Mom's Day Idea:Have the children make a handprint on white or light construction paper and then add the poem below.
Mother's Day
Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and wall.
But everyday I'm growing
I'll be grown up someday
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.
So here's a final handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.

Puffy Coat-Gone 4 Good!
Puffy Coat-Gone 4 Good!
Ok, this is really silly, but I had this blue, puffy coat forever! I have to admit, even for me, and I am pretty darn easy when it comes to clothes---this coat had to go! Not only did it have stains that would never go away, but it had started to loose most of its puffy-ness---which really meant-- your outta here!Even my boys were happy to see it go!----- Good news, a new more puffy coat has taken its place, and we are very happy together:)

For Saturday, November 21 - It's easy to see how staying at home might not be your favorite activity -- at least, not on a regular basis, certainly not alone, and definitely not now, when the stars are sending you all kinds of revolutionary energy. If you just can't force yourself to stay in, even if you're tired, don't. Remember -- you can always catch up on your beauty sleep later this weekend.
Taurus (4/20-5/20)

For Saturday, November 21 - You've acquired a reputation for being considerate, cooperative and extremely easy to get along with, but you might have to chuck that identity out the window, at least temporarily. It's not a dire situation, by any means, but you're about to have a serious urge to join -- or better yet -- start a cause on someone's behalf. You may have found your new calling: you'll be pretty darned good at it without even trying.

For Saturday, November 21 - Friends are great, but when it comes right down to it, there's nothing like the company of family. The camaraderie, the shared genetics, the history, the understanding -- you love all of it. There's also a distinct possibility that one of them will introduce you to someone who'll end up being far more than just a friend. After all, your peeps are well connected and they have your best interest at heart.
Cancer (6/22-7/22)

For Saturday, November 21 - You're due for an experience -- the kind that takes you somewhere you've never been before or even knew existed. If you have a spontaneous travel companion who's urging you on, the desire to embrace your wanderlust may be especially irresistible. Put your nose to the grindstone and spend the evening immersed in cyberspace -- you're bound to find everything you need to get started.

For Saturday, November 21 - A certain someone -- after yet another day of boring through your soul with their penetrating glances -- will finally approach you and say what's on their mind: you! If you're unattached and interested, this could be the one. You know, The One! For good measure, how about returning a few intense stares yourself? Just don't be surprised when once the staring begins, few words are exchanged.
