A Woman With a Second Chance


Alida Riddell Begins Her Fight

This post has nothing in particular to do with crafts but I would just like to express my admiration for a woman who is going through the fight of ovarian cancer right now. She has a blog that she openly discusses each phase of her struggle and it would be great if you could stop by and give her some encouragement.

Thank You

Bath Cookies


Bath Cookies

No you do not eat these, apparently they help for a relaxing bath with nice aromas and fizzling water . I definitely will be trying these because this is quite different.

Enjoy

2 cups of Sea salt or rock salt
1/2 cup Baking soda
1/2 cup Cornstarch
2 tbs of Almond oil
1 tsp Vitamin E oil
1-2 eggs
6 drops Essential oil

Makes 10-12 cookies depending on size.

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Cut the cookies out with cookie cutters or flatten balls to form a cookie shape.

Bake at 350'F (180'C)for 10-12 minutes.
Allow to cool.

Use 1-2 per bath by adding them to running water.

Wrap these in
air tight packaging or seal them in an airtight container. These cookies will last several months maybe longer.

Glitter Fruit or Glitter Pumpkins...



I found someone doing glitter fruit....maybe I am being to hard on the fruit lovers, but it is not as classic as the pumpkin and looks tacky !!! Ick !!!
I suppose you could arrange it in a nice centerpiece or decorative accessory in your home, but I am just not feeling it. I guess its just up to your decorative tastes...

Potpourri



Look what I found....I am loving it..TRULY!!!!
Pumpkin Potpourri

Cut off the pumpkin's top and scrape out the innards; carve round vents with an apple corer. Rub cinnamon or pumpkin-pie spices onto the lid, or push cloves into it. With a lighted tealight candle inside, the pumpkin will give off a lovely fragrance for about six hours.

Pumpkin Nutty

FYI....Hello all, just so you know , right now I am a tad bit obsessed with pumpkin crafts right now. Probably until the 31st I will be all on anything pumpkin-fied...I know that is not grammatically correct, but it's my blog right ?

I hope ya'll love my pumpkin craft ideas....if you dont, thanks for stopping by anyway...

Smooches !!!!

A Different Cooler...WOW!!!


Pumpkin Cooler

WOW!!!!! This will just be my Fall cooler of choice .

Now if its for a kids party , you can fill it with little juices, and sodas, etc.

Just choose a large, wide pumpkin, cut off the top third with a serrated knife, and scrape out the pulp and seeds. Line the gourd with a glass or plastic bowl to prevent it from becoming water-logged. If the pumpkin opening is a bit too small for the bowl, carefully shave the inside edge with a spoon. Finish by filling the bowl with ice and bottled drinks.
