We had a few inches of snow last night and now below freezing weather so it will be here for a while. It's all hills here and less snow removal equipment than many places so the icy roads make for a mess. Our office lost power so I'm working at home to get this newsletter out. I hope the power stays on here.

My thinking spot. I go there to think when i have a stressful day. It's too cold really to be out too long. Even without the leaves and flowers . . . it is still beautiful, sunsets and all.
This is my garden wagon. I had seen a similar one near a hardware store that was used to advertise the hardware store; it was smaller and used with seasonal items to advertisement purposes. I loved it and my husband took a picture of it and built me a larger version for Christmas 2006. It is built of cedar and we used clear varnish for protection purposes. It sits in my front yard as a focal point in the yard.
I put a big red ribbon on the wagon wheel and a Christmas stocking on the edge of it. A black kerosene lantern on a black shepherd hook is nearby to light the wagon.
I will use it for seasonal purposes, holidays. I will use pots and plastic window boxes for flowers in it.
Oreo is approximately 3 years old. We adopted her from our local humane society about 2 1/2 years ago. She likes to get into trouble!
Our cat is a spayed female, but she acts like a wild cat sometimes. She loves to sleep in the house all day, then go out into the woods behind our house at night and hunt. She leaves little treats at our door like dead mice and even a few squirrels.
A lot of poinsettias are discarded in January - so it's time for you to rescue them for your garden or even inside. They have nice greenery and, if conditions are right, they do well outside too. (They originally were from Mexico, so don't fare too well in really cold weather outside.) We have a plant that was from Christmas years ago and it's now showing those lovely red leaves! Just think - free plants!
Well, I don't know about you but my mailbox in the last couple of days has been hit with seed catalogs. As I eagerly scanned each page with anticipation planning out just what I wanted to plant and looking at the beautiful pictures, my mind started wondering to what I could do with the catalog after I placed my order and here are some of the things I came up with.
One of the catalogs looks like an old Sears Catalog printed with the old time pictures and font so I thought these would be great to make envelopes with for a garden party. First get yourself a white invitation envelope. Carefully unfold the envelope. You are going to use this as your template. Carefully trace around the envelope onto card stock. Cut out. Now take a page from your catalog and glue it to the cardstock and cut out. Following your template as a guide to fold and glue to make an envelope. Any invitation can now be used in your new envelope but you can make a matching invitation doing the same thing covering the cardstock and putting your invite on the inside. Depending on how detailed your page from the catalog was, you may want to use a mailing label so your addresses show up.
I then thought about those little paper mache boxes that you can get really cheap at the craft store. These could be decoupaged with the pages of any catalog, to be used any way you would like. Cut out just flowers or add some trees and bushes if you like. Small silk flowers glued to the top and you would have a beautiful box to fill with candy for Mother's day and simple enough that the kids could do it.
Next, I thought about seed packets to give as gifts. Take a page out of your catalog and fold until you have the size you would like. Double fold the edges and glue down. Now you can fill this with seeds you have saved from your own garden. Add a sticker to the front with the type of seeds and a small bow and you have an easy gift for that neighbor or friend.
How about some plant sticks? Easy as pie. Just cut out the picture of the herb or flower and glue to cardstock and add a chopstick cut in half. Now you have a plant stick for that container herb garden.
How about making a card game for the kids? How about cutting out a bunch of vegetable pictures, glueing them to cardstock and then laminating them with clear contact paper. They then could play concentration or a matching game or make up what it takes to make a good salad. Flash cards can be expensive but these are practically free. You could do this with fruit also.
Well, I am sure with some brainstorming you can come up with some ideas too. I challenge you to leave feedback with your ideas.
When traveling with necklaces to be packed in luggage, use a drinking straw to avoid tangles and kinks. Simply thread the necklace through the straw and clasp it shut. This is an inexpensive way to store your necklaces so they remain tangle free.
If you can't use your store bought reading glasses anymore, you can pass then on to friends. Unlike prescription ones, they won't make anyone else dizzy! I keep on passing on my old extras to my friend who always is losing them!!
I often don't have time to separate laundry. No, that's not quite true, I often don't care enough to separate laundry (LOL) and I have a feeling that I'm not alone in my 'sloth'. Actually, it works out well for me.
I try to wash the shirts and drip-dry things first, in a full load. If there's more room, I just continue to put, put, put until the washer is full. When they're done, I pop the shirts into the dryer and set the timer for 12 minutes. (HALF a Bounce sheet is plenty) While that's drying, I hang all the delicates and drip dry things. I invested in one of those laundry room standing things ($20.00) and it was twenty of the best dollars I've ever invested. The shirts will be a little damp when the timer goes off. I smooth them out, fold the collars down and hang them to finish drying. It's amazing how little ironing is necessary using this method.
This also means that when the second wash is done, I can put the towels, jeans and heavier things into the dryer, set the timer, and go to bed. I don't HAVE to be right there when the dryer beckons. The towels will wait patiently for me. If there's anything in the last load that's wrinkled, I dampen a washcloth and pop that, with the wrinkled items, back into the dryer for a few minutes. Abracadabra...wrinkles gone!
Day 1: Clear your mind of all your problems and just sit for 15 minutes. Listen to the clock tick, the refrigerator run, and the everyday sounds that your mind blocks out everyday. Breathe in and out slowly. Set a timer if you have to. Give yourself a full fifteen minutes. If you do this outside, feel the breeze and sunshine on your face. Listen to the birds. Watch a squirrel play in a tree. The idea is to just relax. Enjoy these moments for what they are: You being YOU.
Day 2: Call a friend and invite them for a coke, coffee or a cup of tea. Take these 15 minutes to catch up and refresh your friendship. Even a 15 minutes long distance call can renew your soul.
Day 3: Pull out an old pan and fill with hot water. Add some marbles, now soak your feet. Roll your feet around on the marbles and get an instant massage.
Day 4: Take a walk. Better yet, call a friend to join you on a walk. Talk about that new project, or brainstorm with a friend about anything. Walk around the park, the mall, your neighborhood. You will find this very energizing.
Day 5: Allow 15 minutes to read poetry or listen to your favorite music. Read a short story or go online and research for 15 minutes about something that interest you or something you wanted to know but haven't had time to explore. Get those creative juices flowing.
Day 6: Do a random act of kindness. Going to the farmer's market? Ask the elderly neighbor if you can pick up some fresh fruit. Shovel the neighbor's walk or just be there for someone who needs you to listen. Giving really does feel good.
Day 7: Enjoy your 15 minutes in a hot, relaxing bath. Light candles. Put on some soothing music. That special bubble bath will soak your troubles away.
Now put these in a jar and shake them up and pull one out every week. If you only allow one soul break a week, you will be amazed at how good it makes you feel to pamper yourself and your soul.
Hope this is helpful to someone thinking about not filing a tax return this year. Due to illness one year, my income did not require me to file a tax return. I regretted that decision. There were many times that I was filling out forms and was asked for information off of that year's tax return. Since I did not file, I did not have the information. It was a headache. I promised myself from then on, I would file a return no matter what.
I have a small cleaning business and on a visit to my mom's, it became apparent that she had a hard time taking advantage of quantity purchasing and paid a lot for smaller quantities because she and my dad live alone. We started, in effect, a tiny co-op of non-perishables. At first, we just shared the cost of the larger quantities. (heck, it's my parents so I didn't even charge them for most of it. just enough to make them happy they were contributing) Well, a couple of other people thought it was such a good idea, they wanted in, so what we did was to have everyone, including me and my parents, put in $25 as a "base". This was to pay for the "stock". We do use coupons as often as humanly possible to save even more. We also add free samples in and 're-pay' for them to add to our account. Saved quart and pint bottles are filled and the current price put on them. We figure price by the ounce and a .25 charge is added on for each item. You save by the quantity cost alone, but the added .25 is a little boost you'll see below. (If you refill your own container, all the better!)
Now here's the cool part. Aside from getting your smaller quantities at large quantity saving, here are the other advantages. If you want out, you get the $25 back in full. If you are still there at the end of the year, you can opt to take back your savings in cash or, as we usually decide to do, we all go out for a lunch or movie or something as a treat. We call it "on the laundry"! It almost makes doing chores fun? Well maybe not, but you get a little payback for doing what you normally do. Here's last years tally: 4 ladies, all in, estimated cost savings on products was about 42%, averaged 're-pay' of $1.50 a week each. We ended up with 326.75 in the account. Minus $100 in case we (haha) want to quit. $226.75 was dinner and a movie for all, (we saw "Happy Feet"!) plus one gal was having a tough time so the balance was voted to be given to her, $100 for Christmas presents for her kids! What fun!! $3.82 was put back in the account for next time. In our 'stock' list now : (most items are all varieties like liquid and dry or whatever) laundry detergent, fabric softener, stain products, shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper, body lotion, body soap, powder, liquid cleaners like pine sol and ajax, , sprays like 409, magic erasers, window cleaner, floor wax. . . man, the list is too long to list, but almost anything that "won't go bad" is there. BTW - our 'store' is one wall of metal shelving in my basement and it's all on the honor system. If someone can't stop by, I'm out all the time so I'll bring things by if they are busy and can't make it over. Wow! free pea-pod too??? I forgot about that one!! lol I hope you can use this or adapt it to your needs. Just goes to show you that you don't need a lot of people doing a lot to a lot of good things! (we are having 3 more join in the next month too!! yay!!)
Use your Swiffer mop to wash down your walls! Simply moisten the pad with your washing solution and got to town!

Add A Water Softener
When washing walls, whatever cleaning solution you choose be sure to add a water softener, like 20 Mule Team Borax. This makes the dirt come off much easier.
By Ardis Ilene Barnes
Wash From The Bottom Up
No one has mentioned washing walls from the bottom up to avoid streaks & drip marks.
By GraNita
Make Two Passes
If you wash walls from the bottom to the top, you'll have dirty water dripping onto your newly-cleaned wall. Streaks can be cleaned with a second top-to-bottom pass.

Mr. Clean Magic Sponge and Woolite
Wash all walls in your house once a year and use a Mr. Clean magic sponge on any tough spots. This will keep your walls looking great, and eliminate painting as often.
I use a capful of Woolite in a bucket of water. Dry each section with a clean rag and look at the dirt that comes off. I learned this tip in Real Simple magazine.
By Liz from Ontario
Use Two Buckets And Other Tips
When washing walls, please ladies, you need TWO buckets of water. One bucket is your cleaning solution. The other is your rinse water. Use at least six to eight rags. Terry cloth is best. Toss all the rags in the cleaning solution. When one is soiled, toss it into the rinse water. The rinse water is all that needs to be changed. The cleaning solution stays clean. Only clean rags go into the cleaning solution.
Use a no-rinse cleaner. The rags that have gone into the rinse water are rinsed out and reused if necessary. Clean from the bottom up, and don't forget the mop boards around the edges of the walls. They are dirtier than the walls because they collect so much dust.

Washing Walls Techniques
There's an easier way. First buy a wall washer from a janitor supply place or use a Swiffer with a thick hand towel folded to fit as a pad, held on by elastic bands. Use one bucket with 1/2 cup each of vinegar and ammonia with a Tbsp. of baking soda. No need to rinse and no streaks unless the place is greasy , then use TSP from any hardware.

Recipe For Cleaning Walls
The best I have ever found is from the "Queen of Clean" herself. Please correct me if I am wrong but I never measure anything so I'm probably off.
1 gallon water
1/2 cup washing soda (in laundry aisle, next to Borax)
1/4 cup ammonia
1/4 cup vinegar
Wash in a circular motion, starting at the top and work your way down so you don't leave nasty dirt streaks. Believe me, this works! I have never seen my walls so clean. I have used washing soda and baking soda and they both work wonders.
Lemon Ammonia
When washing my walls I use lemon scented ammonia with water. Half and half. This really cuts through grease and doesn't leave a film.
By Barbara Montag from St Cloud MN
Use A Sponge Mop
Use a long handled sponge mop to clean your walls. It makes it easier to reach the high parts of your walls and it also can be used on ceilings. Be careful using a sponge mop on thick, popcorn textured ceilings or rough wall surfaces. It will quickly tear up the sponge.
Make washing down walls for fall or spring cleaning much easier. Try this: Get a new or very clean cat litter pan and a sponge mop that has a long handle. Add cleaning liquid to the litter pan. The sponge mop fits nicely into the shallow pan and the handle on the mop lets you reach to the top of your walls.
By Laura from Elberta, AL
Editor's Note: Watch out for any nails or picture hangers in the wall because they will tear the sponge mop.
Make a slide in/out shelf in your fridge by using 1-2 cookie sheets. On these place your bottles, jars, etc. Gives you easy access because they slide in and out.

I want to say thank you to all that helped me with the cleaning of my stainless steel pans. Now I know how to clean the inside of my pans, but now can anyone tell me how to clean the baked on grease and grime on the outside of my pans. I would like to see them shine again and be grease free on the outside of the pans. God Bless all of you great people.
I have Revereware pans that I ran through the dishwasher and now they are discolored on the outside (gray and white) and feel fuzzy. They have nonstick interiors. Also, the "gray" come off on my dishtowel. I thought they were stainless steel (pretty heavy), but now I wonder if they may be aluminum since they have discolored. Any way to restore the finish? Or at least remove the "fuzz"? They were originally a bright "chrome" color.
I am looking for a "view finder" - the small hand-held item that contains a battery to view slides. I have looked at most photo stores, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. No one carries them any more. I would like to put the children's slides in a sequence and have CD's made for them so they can view them on their TV's and show their children scenes from their growing-up years. Has anyone seen these at any stores recently or suggest where I may get one. Do not want to use E-Bay.
I'm painting one of my walls in my bedroom this shiny red color and I'm not sure what colors I should paint the other three walls. Does anyone have any ideas on what colors I should paint the other walls?
I need to throw a cheap 40th Birthday party for Sister-in-Law! We would love to do a party at a club or bar but we all know how expensive that can be! We all like to drink and enjoy music. My home is too small to house all the people we need to accommodate. Please assist with ideas, I want to make this day special. Thanks so much!
I am looking for a good air purifier for my home, and all I have read is very confusing about which brands are good and which don't really work. Does anyone have one that they like? There's a smoker in my home, and I really need one (or 2).
I am looking for different colors of plastic plate holders but can't find any. Does anyone know a site or where I can get them? I work for a senior citizen nutrition center and they would be great for them so the plates don't flop over.
My daughter is getting married in July 2007. Due to budget constraints to all involved, I will be preparing the food for the reception and the groom's mother is preparing the food for the rehearsal dinner. Can anyone give me an idea as to how to determine how much food to make. We are planning 3 meats, potatoes, some form of pasta both hot and cold, and possibly 2 - 3 salads.
I'm looking to get married in about 6 weeks and between me and my fiance there are 7 children. We don't have much money but are looking for ways to have a nice wedding.
My husband and I are renewing our wedding vows this year for our 10th anniversary and I am looking for a gown that has spaghetti straps, a-line skirt with a small amount of train and flows (nothing fitted).
My little girl Trixie is a Cairen Terrier. She will be 2 in June and she is afraid when people come in and she urinates. Is there something that can be done about this problem, I have tried some many different things, but have had no success. I don't like putting her in her cage, because even though she urinates she needs to be in a social atmosphere. Does anyone have any advice for me?
I want to find patterns for rag rugs. Specifically; rugs made by sewing small squares of fabric to a base and then the back is finished by sewing round after round of rick rack to the back.
I am interested in any rag rug pattern that uses old fabric; sewing such to a base. Please do not send info about braided or crocheted rugs.
I am on a very limited budget so I want to make these rugs from materials that I can find at the local DAV, Salvation Army, or possibly the Good Will stores.
I am 70 Years old; and I need projects that I can do on my limited income.
How do I get a high limit card to transfer a high balance? I have a Credit Card that's killing me in interest but my credit rating is too low to get much in a new credit card.
I need to divide a big room using tulle. One side will be for the reception and the other for the ceremony. Can anyone tell me how would be the best way to hang a bolt of tulle?
"Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share
all the pictures on your PC. Every time you open Picasa, it
automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you
had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with
folder names you will recognize. You can drag and drop to arrange
your albums and make labels to create new groups. Picasa makes
sure your pictures are always organized."
I will never forget the joy I got when I received my first Betty Crocker Kid's Cookbook when I was a kid. It was wrapped in a pastel pink paper with a big pink bow. It was the only present under the Christmas tree I had not figured out. I spent days reading that cookbook and planning all the big events I would hold. But this was the seventies and my mom would rather I would be out in the great outdoors than in HER kitchen messing it up. Thankfully, there were my friends' moms who were not so picky. Then I had kids and decided I wanted to get them a cookbook and low and behold there was my faithful friend still in print for me to buy for my kids. Well, that was many years ago before the advent of computers and the internet.
I decided I wanted to make my grandson's and also some of my friends' children a personalized cookbook. Alas I am not a prize winning cook or cookbook author so I decided to take some help from the internet wonderful resource that it is. You can also use these instructions to make cookbooks for your school or charity or a family cookbook. To truly make this a personalized gift you could also use all of the digital pictures that you have stored on your computer and you can certainly mix it up with theme images and your own personal pictures.
Materials Needed:
Computer and some knowledge of surfing the web
Color printer
Word Processing Program can be downloaded for free on the internet if you don't already have one on your computer. Most computers come with at least one on them pre-installed.
Three Ring Binder or report folder
Time to go to the copy center
Time to complete:
Depending on your surfing the Web time this could take you a couple of hours to a couple of days. The hardest part is collecting the recipes.
This is going to be step-by-step instructions on how to make your own cookbook. You can make it as many pages as you want. I will show you how to cut and paste images and recipes into a Word document and how to and where to get it bound. This is a quick and easy craft if you have a computer and a color printer. Of course you could grey scale all of the images and print in black and white. I know these instructions will seem hard at first but I tried to make them as easy as I know how, you may want to print these out and keep them handy.
First I decided on a theme which just happened to be Winnie the Pooh but you can choose any character or theme you would like. Some ideas would be chocolate recipes, Native American Recipes or maybe Christmas Cookies or Easy Meal Ideas. After deciding what theme I would use which was Winnie the Pooh and then just general recipes; I made mental notes of what sections I wanted for my cookbook I decided to follow the basic layout of my old faithful favorite. So I made sections for Finger Foods (appetizers) Main dishes, Salads and Vegetables, Baked Goods and then a section for Craft Recipes which was not in my cookbook but I thought would be a great addition. You can find recipes on the internet for goop and glue and paint and even Easy Bake oven recipes. Just do a search for Kid's Craft recipes. I also like to add some of the charts that are found in cookbooks like a vocabulary list of cooking terms and a measuring chart. These can be found and copied off of any recipe site. Just do a search for cooking terms or measuring table.
Following my Theme idea I named each section with a Winnie the Pooh Name. Piglet's Little Food Appetizers, Owl's Gourmet Main Dishes not that Mac and Cheese is a Gourmet dish but you get the idea. Next decide how many recipes you want for each section. Now I always believe bigger is better so I usually go with about 10 recipes per section but this decision is entirely up to you. You will find I am sure that what ever you decide you will find more than you could ever use and making the decision on which to use will be the toughest part of this whole project. Remember to try and select recipes that are easy enough for all the children you are making the cookbook for.
First things first go to My Documents on your computer and make two new folders. One for your images and one for your recipe file. Name them appropriately for each. (i.e. Your theme) and Kid's Cookbook recipes. Now you have a place to save things. Now connect to the Internet and go to the Google Web search Page. I have this saved to my favorites. Next hit Google Image search... This is on top of the search bar and looks like the tab on a file folder... Type in your search word (i.e.: Winnie the Pooh) Then hit search this gave me many images to choose from. I went to each site and right clicked and then hit the Save This Picture As: button for each image. When you do this a save box will come down, In the box type a name for your picture and make sure that you click on the drop down menu and click My Documents and then the "image" file folder so you can save it to your "image" file. Do this for each image. You will need one image for each section and maybe four more to decorate recipe pages with. Try to have at least 10 different images so that you don't have to repeat them very often.
Then I did a Google search for Children's Recipes and Kid's recipes. I opened a WordPad document (Word pad is found under Accessories on most computers. Hit start, All Programs, Accessories, and then WordPad) and as I found interesting recipes I just copied them and pasted them into it. If you want you could just search for each section. I, being always in a rush just copied all the recipes to one file to be sorted later. When you are done finding the recipes, Save your work, you should get a pop down screen it will ask you to name your WordPad document and be sure you save it to your "recipe" file in my documents. Now you should have enough images and recipes to get started putting together your cookbook. You are now about 1/2 way there.
Now here is where your own creativity comes in, I always rename my recipes to go along with my theme. Ants on a log are one thing but when it is named Rabbit's Rescue Boat it just gives something to it.
Open any Word processing program such as Microsoft Word or Works. Any Word processing program should accept Images so here we go.
First open your word processing program and name your document. (i.e.: Jane's Cookbook or whatever) Then go to File and hit Page Setup. I set all of my margins at .05 which still gives me enough room to bind the page and lets me use my space more efficiently.
Now start with your first section. On the blank page insert one image. Go to the File that you have your images in which is in My Documents and double click on the picture and make a copy of the picture. After you double click it should either go to a Microsoft program for opening pictures or Paint. Go to the editing section. Go to Edit and select Select all and then hit copy. Note: if you are going to be printing this is black and white you will need to grey scale your images which is easy, don't panic. Go to view and hit grey scale. Now go back to your Document Go to Edit and hit paste. Now you have your image in your document. Yeah! If your picture is too small double click on it and grab one of the little black dots at the corner and holding down your mouse button pull on it to enlarge the picture. Now click on the right hand side of the bottom of your image and it would take you back to the line cursor. Go back up to the toolbar at the top and hit the center align button and then it Enter. You should now have the line cursor in the middle of the bottom of your picture.
Name your Front page (i.e.: Pooh and Jane's Wonderful Cookbook) and then hit the enter button till you have reached the end of the page and are on Page number 2. This is were you might want to add your charts but you can just make two extra pages at the end for your charts it is up to you.
Repeat your image instruction on Page two and name the section (i.e.: Owl's Gourmet Dishes) and hit enter until you are at the top of Page 3. Now you need to go to my documents and open the WordPad file with your recipes in it. Now there are two different ways to do this. You can copy your recipes out of your file or you can cut them out of your file. I suggest you only copy as this leaves your WordPad file intact. In case of any problems you then can just go back and recopy that recipe. If you have cut the recipe from the WordPad file and your computer clipboard ate it you might find yourself searching for another recipe to replace it. But you can for clarities sake cut each recipe out.
Pick your first recipe and highlight and copy it. You can now drop it in your document. Do this with each recipe. You might want to type a line under each for a spacer or if you have a lot of recipes you can go to the top tool bar and make columns. If you do use columns please use your enter bar often so that your recipes are not chopped in half by the columns. Is half a page empty? Go to your image file as you did before and drop in an image to fill the page. When you are done with one section go onto the next. For printing and assembling it is always easier to have your sections as the first page of each that way when you print it is in the order it should be for assembly.
Now you are ready to print. Print each page. To save paper and to make your cookbook look more professional Set up your printer to print on both sides of the paper. To do this go to Printer Setup and Click on the box that says Two sided printing. If your printer has an instruction page like my does for two sided printing print it out also.
On my computer the instruction page is just a big arrow to remind you how to reinsert the paper so that half the printing is not upside down on your page. Now you have a choice if you are making this for more than one family you might decide to make all the copies on your own computer especially if you have used colored images. This is the cheapest way since most color copies cost a dollar or more at a copy center. Or you can take it to the copy center and have as many copies as you need made.
Now to binding your cookbook together, The cheapest way is to buy a three ring hole punch and mount your pages into a report folder if you are not like me with 30 pages of cookbook. If you are like me and could not resist all the cute recipes you can also mount your pages into a three ring binder. Going along with the Three Ring Binder idea you could put each page in a page protector and that way each page would be cleanable. My favorite way to bind my cookbooks together is to take my pages to the copy center and have them bind them with a clear sheet in the front and a comb binding attached. This makes my cookbooks wipe able at least the front anyway and with the comb binding the cookbook will lay flat. It also only costs me about a dollar per book to have them bound if I already have the pages printed out myself. You can also add Page tabs to make finding the chapters easier also.
