HANDMADE CLAY BRACELETS AND NECKLACES
We still have a bracelet made in this manner that my daughter and I made together over thirty years ago! It's saved in with other special memories. Why not make such memories with your daughters? This recipe can also be used to make Christmas ornaments. Try making 3-5 beads to string together vertically and hang on your tree.
Ingredients: 1 cup cornstarch ~ 2 cups baking soda ~ 1 1/4 cups water
Mix cornstarch and baking soda in a saucepan sprayed with Pam. Add water. Heat saucepan on stove, stirring constantly until the clay looks like mashed potatoes.
Remove from stove and cover saucepan with damp towel. When clay is cool, squish it together with your hands until smooth. Store in an airtight container.
Make round beads about 1/2 inch in diameter. Poke a hole in the center of each bead with a toothpick (large enough for thin elastic to go through) before allowing to dry. The elastic can be found in the jewelry section of craft stores.
When completely dry, paint with acrylic paints. Paint polka dots, tiny flowers and hearts on previously painted and dried beads by making dots with the tip of a paint brush.
After the painted beads are dry, thread them onto elastic and tie with a square knot to secure.
Two other methods of making beads:
Divide the dough into three parts and color the dough three different colors with paste food coloring. Then roll a long thin piece of all three colors out, and lay them together in one long strand. Cut into 1/2 pieces and roll each three-colored bead into a ball. Proceed by making the holes in each one and stinging onto elastic when completely dry.
Divide the dough into three parts and color each section a different color with paste food coloring. Pastels look good. Roll into beads and poke holes in each one. Allow to dry completely and string onto elastic.
ENCOURAGING YOUR CHILDREN TO LEARN / HELP WITH HOMEWORK
All of these websites have excellent help with homework and for learning at any age. However parents may want to check them out first. The last site has a world view supporting evolution, rather than creation, although you can still learn so much on that site. In fact, after seeing the beautiful National Geographic pictures, how can one not believe in a God who created everything?

ATTITUDE
© 2007, Stacy R. Miller - Proverbs 31 devotionals - Used by permission
Attitudes can make us or break us. If you have been around someone with a bad attitude, you will notice that you feel like the life is slowly being drained from you. On the other hand, if you are surrounded with those who have a positive attitude, it is like a breath of fresh air. You will leave their presence feeling invigorated.
Because attitudes are so important, I came up with an acrostic for the word attitude to help us in adjusting our own attitudes.
A is for acknowledging God. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
T is for trusting God to help you. (Proverbs 3:5)
T is for training yourself to be godly. (First Timothy 4:7)
I is for interrupting ungodly thoughts. (Second Corinthians 10:5; Philippians 4:8)
T is for turning your thoughts heavenward. (Colossians 3:1-2)
U is for unloading your burdens before the Lord. (Psalm 55:22)
D is for daily reading and meditating on the Word. (Psalm 1:1-2; 119:97-98)
E is for extolling the Lord. (Psalm 34:1)
By acknowledging God, we can view any interruption or crisis with a sense of calm, rather than panic. Acknowledging the Lord can make it much easier to trust Him, even when faced with things which we do not understand.
Each day carries annoyances that have the ability to push our hot-buttons. The kids will bicker. The dryer may quit just as we have pulled a load of wet clothes out of the washer. The car battery may go bad just when we have loaded the trunk with groceries. Yet, when we fully trust God to work ALL things together for good, we can train ourselves to respond in a godly fashion, rather than reacting from our fleshly hot-buttons.
When we have trained ourselves to be godly, we will find it is easier to interrupt ungodly thoughts. We will have toned up our spiritual muscles, making us ready to do a workout on any ungodly thoughts.
There is something about acknowledging God in those quiet hours, early in the morning. When I take the time to do that, I find my thoughts are more apt to turn heavenward throughout the rest of my day. As I make a habit of turning my thoughts toward the Lord, it becomes a natural thing to unload my burdens to Him.
I have found that taking time to read the Word in the morning helps me to meditate on it as I set about my daily tasks. And the more I meditate on Him and His Word, the more I find myself extolling Him every day.
How about you? Do you need some help with your attitude? Do you need a new attitude?
TRIALS
If Joseph had not been Egypt's prisoner, he never would have been Egypt's governor. The iron chain about his feet ushered in the gold chain around his neck.
The finest china in the world is burned at least three times, some of it more than three times. Dresdan china is always burned three times. Why does it go through that intense fire? Once ought to be enough; twice ought to be enough. No, three times are necessary to burn that china so that the gold and crimson are brought out more beautifully and then fastened there to stay. We are fashioned after the same principle in human life. Our trials are burned into us once, twice, thrice; and by God's grace these beautiful colors are there, and they are there to stay forever. -- Cortland Myers

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED FOR FUTURE NEWSLETTER ON QUICK AND EASY MEALS
Moms are all looking for meals they can serve to their family with little effort. In an upcoming "Heart to Heart" I'd like to feature quick and easy meals - yet meals that are healthy and without sugar or artificial sweeteners. Stevia, a natural and healthy sweetener, could be used if necessary. So if you have any favorite quick and easy dishes that fit that description, please send them to me for consideration. I may not be able to include them all, but if include yours, I would use your name and state, unless you tell me that you prefer otherwise. Thanks so much!
QUICK AND EASY SALMON
Oil frying pan with about a tablespoon of olive oil.
Place salmon fillet in pan with the best side down.
Cook until lightly browned; turn and sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning on the fish.
When the salmon is cooked through, remove fish from pan and serve!
This works for any fish!
TASTY SALMON MOUSSE
A homemaker was having several couples over for dinner that night, so she wanted to cook something special. She slaved for hours that afternoon and finally created a masterpiece.
Salmon Mousse.
Just before her guests arrived, she caught her cat nibbling away at the dish on the dining room table. She had worked so hard that she couldn't throw the mousse away, so she smoothed it over and served it anyway.
Well, the mousse was a hit. Everyone took seconds or thirds. Proudly she stood to bring the empty plate out to the kitchen and looked out the window.
There, next to the house, lay her cat. Dead. She had to confess to her guests that she'd served mousse eaten by the cat and now the cat was dead.
The entire dinner party rushed to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. The hostess, who hadn't eaten any because she knew her cat had, lay in bed -- mourning the passing of her cat and fearing that the same fate could befall her guests.
Then, the phone rang. It was her next door neighbor who said, " I'm sorry about your cat. I should have told you that I ran her over but I was just so ashamed and saw that you had a dinner
party in progress....So I just put her on your lawn."
Lack of storage space is the #1 complaint I hear from parents, especially in their kids' rooms. But organizing a child's room is just like de-cluttering any other room in the house: you have four
choices: hang it, put it in a drawer, store it on the floor, or shelve it. Use those same options when organizing your children's rooms.
Here are a few of my favorite tips for storage solutions:
Create More Floor Space
- A bed with drawers provides extra storage space and eliminates the need for a bulky dresser or chest
- Invest in loft beds for the kids with space for a desk
- Place a bulky chest of drawers in the closet to save wall space
General Organizing Solutions
- Footlockers or old-fashioned steamer trunks hide extra bedding. Be sure to make safe for small children by installing locking safety hinges
- Under the bed storage bins hold craft items
- A plastic garbage can topped with a table round makes a bedside or chair side table, and doubles as hidden storage
- Over the door shelving makes a nice place to store books, children's videos, and audiotapes.
- Hang a vinyl pouch organizer on the bedroom door or closet door for desk supplies
- Shoe bags hang on a closet door and contain all those Beanie Babies, Barbies, and action figures
Clothing
- Purchase drawer dividers for socks, underwear, lingerie and tiny items to keep items segregated.
- Install inexpensive closet organizers for clothing, which can double your closet space
- Hang another clothes rod in your closet for clothing to utilize hanging storage space
- Place a laundry basket or hanging bag on the door for each family member.
- An under bed box is great for outgrown kids' clothes and frees precious closet space. Store or take to resale shop when box is full, then begin again (I recommend buying a plastic tub rather than inexpensive cardboard, which doesn't last very long)
- Stash out of season clothes in boxes, label, and store in the attic or garage
- Wicker trunks or footlockers make excellent places for out of season clothes
- Hanging storage closet systems are colorful and create an instant chest of drawers
Papers
- Two file cabinets can be used to support a desktop for a workspace
- Filing cabinets for your kids provide a spot for all those papers that seem to take over the house: school work, pictures, cards, awards and certificates, art projects, report cards
- Lillian Vernon Catalog sells a corrugated chest with pull out box "drawers". The unit holds six boxes, one for each school year, and provides a safe place for all those school year treasures.
Visit their website at
www.lillianvernon.com for ordering information, or to request a catalog.
- Corral papers and keepsakes safely by storing in a plastic binder. UniKeep ClearView Binders come in a variety of colors and sizes, and fit right in your child's backpack or locker for
safekeeping. Visit
www.UniKeep.com for more information.
These are just a few ways you can contain the clutter in your kids' rooms. You probably have several tips of your own to add to the list. I almost forgot the best tip of all: have your children sort through their toys and give to those who are less fortunate. What a great way to make room for those new toys and help another child at the same time.
5 WAYS TO DRESS UP YOUR BATH, IN A FLASH, FOR LITTLE CASH!
By Kathy Wilson - Used by permission
Often the bathroom is one of the most overlooked rooms in the home when it comes to decorating. We tend to see it as a utilitarian space, even though we spend quite a lot of time here. (More, if you have teenagers!) Take an afternoon to turn your bath into a relaxing and soothing retreat for yourself and your guests, without spending a lot of cash.
1. Paint the whole room, including the ceiling a deep, rich color. Even though this is a small room, a deep color on the walls allows them to fade away, and at once makes the room cozy and seems more spacious.
2. Get rid of the clutter! If you cant get most of the makeup and shaving cream under the sink, (and who can?) pick up a few baskets from the dollar shop and corral them in. Make sure there is a hamper. If you are short on space, use the kind that hangs on the back of the door. A large drawstring bag would work for this also.
3. Dress up that large frameless mirror. Hang swags of fabric from cup hooks to hide and soften the edges of the mirror, and to give it a frame. Or actually use cut lengths of 1x4 lumber, and attach them to the wall over the edges of the mirror to simulate a real wood frame. You can paint or stain them as well to coordinate with your cabinets.
4. Speaking of cabinets, how about giving them a quick redo? Paint them black for a sophisticated look, or white with sponge painting for a country theme. Try any of the hot faux finishes. You can even paint the Formica counters. Just clean well and use a special primer first such as BIN or KILZ. Then seal with 4-6 coats of polyurethane after the paint dries. Should last for years!
5. Lastly, add some detail to the room. Sew fabric edging to your towels, add a shell for a soap dish, and stitch up a pretty shower curtain to cover that vinyl one. Hang some calendar pictures on the wall in dollar store frames
perhaps of a faraway place you can dream about as you soak away your cares? If you have natural light in the room from a window, add a plant or two.
Now light up some candles, turn on some music, and fill the bath with sweet smelling bubbles. Your getaway awaits!

WARM WATER AND BATH SALTS FOR THE SOUL
By Debra Romines, © 2002 - Used by permission
My mind in all its flesh tells me I don't have the time to make the time for you. To come to you with my heart, my mind and my arms outstretched sometimes requires more of me than my self wants to give. I feel your tug on my heart; I feel you reaching down to me; reaching out for me. My heart knows what it is you want me to do, but my mind is not one that has ever easily given in to giving up, or letting go. The flesh of my mind encourages me to stay on the go.
I drew a bath and poured in some salts with a little soap. I lit some candles and turned off all the lights. Stillness filled the air; flickering candles called out my name; bubbles whispered to me; but I knew it was really you. I have come to recognize your voice, Lord; I could hear you whispering to me; begging me in your firm but gentle way to let go; to take a break from the responsibilities that have put such strong demands upon my time. Responsibilities, which have become loads I have put upon myself, for they are not all things that were initiated by you.
As I gaze into the hot steamy water frothed in white my mind lets go and I give myself, all of me, to thee as I gently lower my body and sink into the tub. My tub that represents your tub of victory; the tub that proclaims I have been and will forever be cleansed of all my sins; your tub of forgiveness, your tub of refreshment for my soul, your tub of healing as your warmth and kindness caress my nakedness from my head to my toes. I am here with you, unclothed and unashamed, the world and all those things that tempt me to pull away from spending time with you are waiting outside; behind the closed door and in other rooms. Warm water and bath salts relax my mind and I can feel the tension leave my body as I give in and let go of myself and meditate on you.
All I hear and all I feel is your presence beating in my heart and pulsing through my veins, a quiver quickens my pulse and sends a tickle through my soul. I wear no masks; I have nothing to hide. Just you and me Lord spending time; such precious time. I am so thankful you always meet me here.
Have your way Lord, speak to me and speak through me; let me know without any fear and without a doubt it is you. Use me Lord; remind me in your gentle but firm way to take the time every day to be still with you; to be real with you. Touch me Lord, form my heart be like warm water and bath salts for the soul; train my mind and instruct my thoughts to always be humble, gentle and kind; help me to be more like you in all I say and all I do. Have your way Lord, have your way. Thank you for this time Lord, thank you for whispering to my heart today. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen

Cut Your Family's Hair rather than always having them go to the barber or beauty shop. You can save several thousand of dollars! I figured it out once and our family's savings came to over $2,000 during the time our children were in the home. Have a friend show you how or check out books from the library on how to do it.
Learn How to Sew the Basics ~ One definite way to save money is to learn how to sew. Sewing classes are available, but if a friend enjoys sewing, ask if she might teach you in exchange for your teaching her a skill you enjoy. In order to sew on buttons, and sew some hems, you don't need a machine. A sewing machine that sews a straight and zig-zag stitches is quite inexpensive, and you can find a good used machine for even less. Knowing how to mend clothes, towels, sheets, etc. will extend the use of many items. What do you do when you have a ripped seam, the way clothes are sewn with such long stitches? Making simple curtains, pillowcases, and other items in the style and color you need is certainly a plus in sewing. You may find that you enjoy it so much that you'll want to do much more!
End of the Season Plants ~ At the end of the growing season many plant nurseries greatly discount their plants and shrubs or even toss some out. You may want to check to see if they want to get rid of anything, especially if you have a green thumb and are able to nurse an ailing pant back to health.
Card Making Supplies ~ Paint stores as well as Home Depot and Lowe's discontinue their paint color cards. Those little cards work great for hand embossing, crimping or cut-outs in making greeting cards. Ask when the color cards will be discontinued, and be on the look-out. They also make great gift tags. Just punch a hole in the corner and tie them on a package.
Beautifully Framed Pictures can be hanging on your walls for a low price by using a nice calendar. I've really been enjoying a calendar this year from the Christian book store of darling children. I was thinking last week how nice those pictures would look in frames, with matting. Since calendars follow a theme, you could have a group of pictures following a theme - not necessarily twelve though! For the look of an oil painting, glue the picture to a sturdy flat cardboard back, lay a piece of cheesecloth (found in the canning section of grocery stores) over the calendar picture, and paint a thin coat of clear shellac over the top. Then mat and frame the picture. Buy mats and frames at a craft shop, where they have great discounts.
Framed Puzzle Pictures on the wall can be a wonderful memory for your family, especially if all the family had worked on that puzzle together. Simply paint a thin coat of shellac over the top before framing. At the beach our daughter found a puzzle with three sections, consisting of tiny puzzle pieces for the adults, medium sized pieces for medium sized children, and large pieces for the youngest children. It's being worked on right now, spread out on their dining room table, but we might need to visit them to help finish it! Pawpaw is really good at puzzles. He inherited that from his mother!
Repair Scratched Furniture by using a can of wax shoe polish that matches the furniture. Rub the polish into the scratch, let it set for a few minutes, and buff lightly with a soft cloth. Depending how bad the scratch is, it may not completely cover it, but it will diminish the scratch.
ASK MISERLY MOMS: REMOVING PESTICIDES FROM VEGGIES
By Jonni McCoy -
contact@miserlymoms.com - Copyright 2005 - Used by permission
(Note for Lois: Health food stores as well as Melaleuca, Shaklee and Amway also carry good products for this, but here are some more, using cooking ingredients already in your kitchen.)
Q: Hi there, I am looking for a homemade spray for vegetables to remove pesticides etc. I heard that vinegar and water are good for this, is this correct? If so, would you know how much vinegar to water? Are there other sprays to wash veggies with that I can make myself?
Thanks a bunch -- Linda
A: Great question! Since many of the pesticides are sprayed on with waxy substances, removing them is tough. You may not get it all off, but you can reduce it with one of the following ideas:
SCRUB: Dampen the produce. Shake baking soda on it and rub all surfaces with your hands. Rinse well.
SOAK: Mix a 50/50 solution of water and white distilled vinegar. Let the produce soak for 5-10 minutes. Rinse well. (Never soak mushrooms since they absorb water).
SPRAY: Mix 1 T. lemon juice, 1 cup water and 2 T. baking soda in a spray bottle. Shake well, spray on produce and let sit a few minutes. Rinse well.
WASH: Consumer Reports suggests scrubbing the produce with a drop of Palmolive Dish Detergent and then rinsing well.
TIP: Don't wash produce before storing them. This accelerates rot. Wash before eating/cooking.

TACKLEBOX LURES
Thanks to Barb Campbell in Mississippi for sending this cute story.
On her 15th birthday, my daughter opened a package from her mom and her sisters. Out came a beauty case containing many samples of makeup.
"Neat!" I exclaimed. "Your own tackle box!"
My wife calmly explained that it was NOT a tackle box; it was a beauty kit. My daughter proceeded to open it up and show us all the mascara, eye shadow, rouge, and other cosmetics.
At this point I leaned over to my wife and whispered, "I told you it was a tackle box. Just look at all those lures."
HUMOR IN THE FAMILY
These are great! How do little ones come up with such cute quotes? Ladies, please send me your children's quotes, whether or not they are still tiny tots.
I had to share something my 3 year old daughter, Sabra, said last night. She had been
being naughty and I told her she had to live with the consequences to which she promptly replied, "But I want to live with my Mom and Dad!" I just had to laugh and tell her I loved her! ~ Darcy Carmichael in Michigan
The teacher at daycare was asking the 4 year old children questions about the story of Jonah:
Teacher: What happened when Jonah went into the water?
Katie: A big fish swallowed him.
Aaron: THAT'S not good!
Teacher: What did Jonah do when he was in the fish's belly?
Alex: He prayed through the blow hole. ~ Linda Bahn in Pennsylvania
