Stormy Rainy Weather!!



Hi Everyone,

Well we're back from spring break! It was nice to have a week off, but I didn't get done near what I'd planned. The weather was dreary most of the time, and I couldn't motivate myself, oh my. I did however get to watch my little grandbaby, and oh the fun we had. We played and played, took a stroll, a lil' nap, and played some more. I did make some tarts, practiced for an Easter Drama at church, and had a wonderful Easter Service.













It's been stormy rainy cold weather. I'm planing for my youngest daughter's baby shower. Everything pink and pretty.

I'll post again real soon to show off some of my yummies......Have a wonderful day.

Grace & Peace,
Linda

Woo-Hoo, Almost time for Spring Break!!

When the sun is shining like it is now, oh I want to be outside piddling. I also like to clean house when the sun is shining.....oh I know I'm weird! But you have to admit, there is nothing like opening up windows, getting things cleaned up, then sitting back smelling and enjoying all the clean air and atmostophere.

Last night I planted some California Garlic, and lavendar. I've never attempted garlic, so we'll see how it does. I know everything fresh is so much better, I'll see about the garlic, I may be making a lot of italian dishes.

Next week I have a lot of "home catch up jobs" to do. That will be my spring break. Also I'm going to visit my dear lil' Aunt Libby. She is so precious. She's 85+. She's such a super lady. She's been working on our family tree for over 40 years. She has some of the most interesting stories about our family. She's also had several things published, and she NEVER meets a stranger.

Please have a wonderful weekend, and God Bless!!!

Grace & Peace for this up coming "Holy Week".Linda

Laundry Soap Recipe




Hello Friends.
This recipe is from "The Beehive Cottage"Miss Mary Jane. Thanks to her that I found this about 6-7 weeks ago, I made it, and am using the Laundry Soap and saving lots of $$$$$. I have tweeked it a little, and love the results.
Miss Mary Jane says that it's great for people that have allergies, or sensitive skin.

3 Bars Fels Naptha Soap --(usually Kroger carries this in laundry isle)
4-5 pounds of Borax
4-5 pounds of Arm & Hammer Washing Soda ( usually Kroger carries this
in laundry isle- and if you can get extra strength that would be great.)
4-5 pounds of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda

Shred soap and mix all ingredience together. Place in a airtight container.

Use 1-2 tablespoons for regular soiled clothes
Use 2-3 tablespoons for heavily soiled clothes

Now, my tweeking--take 2 cups of powder solution and add one (1) box of Rit whitner

Use only in white clothes, and if heavily stained soak for a while.

If you usually use fabric softner, you can replace it with white vinegar- 1/2 cup will do, and will not make your dry clothes have a odor. That will really save some money too.

My experience:
my towels seem fluffier, and my clothes are getting clean, even my husbands farm clothes are clean as a whistle. Also it's taken blood out without a stain left. (I washed immediately)

One more thing, the soap will not have a suds in it, so it's safe for front loading machines. I also think that's why the clothes little by little are getting fluffy because all the extra soap residue is coming out. Please let me hear about your experience. If my calculations are right, with whitener and all ingredience, my laundry soap is $14.00 plus change, tax included and should last my family of 3 (with a husband who farms and teenage boy) at least 6 months. I've already been using it for about 6 weeks and I don't notice a dent in my solution!

Happy Laundering......Linda

Happy St. Patty's Day

Top of the Mornin' to ya. No, I didn't wear green today, although it's my favorite color. I painted my office Sherwin Williams - Hearts of Palms - a beauitful green color, a very happy and soothing color. When I first painted it, I wasn't too sure, but as it dried, it's really pretty. Hydrangeas and daisies make it complete. Pictures to follow, but I wanted to post, Have a wonderful day. I hope that you day is complete with warm weather, smiling faces, and lots of Green

Sponsor A Child!!

Hi my dear Friends,

I just received a letter from my little girl, Joselin, that I sponsor in Nicaragua. I've been in partnership with Compassion International for almost 4 years. I've just gotta tell you all, this little girl has brought so much joy to my life. I've never met her, but our hearts connect.

These children need our help! Financially, and more than that spiritually. For just $32.00 a month, you can change a child's life. That child will get food, education, medical attention, and thru your letters, love and hope. I waste sometimes more than $32.00 a month, and it's just $l.lo a day.

Please comment, and even if you can't make a commitment today, will you say a prayer, and ask God to guide and direct you in this matter?

Thanks, and God Bless you all.

Delish...Yummy .... Fruit Cocktail Handpainted bowls



Handpainted bowls with my own Fruit Cocktail Candle....yummmm



Alls I can say is YUMMY!!! These delicious bowls are handpainted by ME! I'm not an artist by no means, but I must say they are very cute. The paint is baked on, so they shouldn't wash off, but I would still handwash this bowl when it's empty!! The blue cornflowers are just what you need for a spring pick me up. Both bowls are filled with my popular "FRUIT COCKTAIL" fragrance, topped with yummy fruit that I also handmold. Strawberrys, blueberrys, chunks of apricot, peaches and blackberrys make this bowl of fruit delish!

They look so cute out on your counter, but make sure they don't get eatten!!

Have a wonderful Sunday........It's snowin' here in KY, we've started revival.....so........I'm pumped for the Lord and for spring!

Blessings to all my wonderful friends....
Linda
