Prayer Rock or Prayer...

Write or type the below saying on a small piece of card stock and fold in half so the saying will look like a book...on the front of the 'book' - stencil or draw a small heart...Now...glue the 'little book' on a pebble, rock or block.

I'm your little 'prayer rock'
and this is what I'll do...
Just put me on your pillow
until the day is through.
Then turn back the covers
and climb into your bed.
Whack!
Your little 'prayer rock'
will hit you on the head!
Then you will remember
just as the day is through
to kneel and say your prayers'
as you had wanted to.
Then after you are finished
just drop me on the floor.

home box

I took a x-small blue recicle box and I put mod pog on it and paper. I cut out bits of pictures of my moms garden ang pod poged them on. I then gave it to my mom for valentines day

recycled old tree...

I also recycle ornaments that are scratched by pouring bleach into ball with small bits of tissue to clean out old paint etc. I then measure the diameter and go on the computer to print pictures (we did the bakers dozen with the grandchildren) and cut the circles just a hair smaller then the ball on overhead plastic. Then when dry, roll up the plastic, put in the ball and the picture will pop back to its full circle again. Use tweezers if you need to arrange the picture upright. then put confetti or small designs inside ball and replace the top.

Litter Box Deoderizer

After my cat had kittens, I needed a way to keep the litter box from running us out of the house. I love essential oils and was surfing the web for recipes using my oils. My husband suggested that I needed to find something for the litter box. After thinking a few minutes, I came up with this idea. Take plain baking soda and add "patchouli" essential oil to it. The amount of oil to soda ratio will depend on your personal tastes. Patchouli smells very "earthy" at first, but trust me it has done wonders for our litter box. My cats haven't minded either.

Seashell Angel

Materials:
Large shell
Wooden ball (depending on size of shell)
Hair
A string of gold or pearl beads---gold chenille stem will work for the halo.
Paint or Marker for the eyes
Ribbon about 1 to 1 1/2 inches wide---gold
Glue
Glitter

HOW TO:

1. Take large shell and put glue on it. *I use a paint brush with glue on it and paint my shell with glue.*

2. Sprinkle glitter on shell and let dry. *I use iridescent glitter on my shell*

3. Glue hair on the top of the wooden b all. Next take a string of gold or pearl beads and tack it to the hair. This is the halo. You can also use a gold chenille stem for the halo.

4. For the eyes you can paint or use magic marker to fill them in.

5. Glue the wooden ball to the top of the shell.

6. Glue a piece of gold string or thread to the back of the shell. This is used for hanging your angel.

7. Take your gold ribbon and fold the cut edges into the middle part of the ribbon. It will look like a bow. Glue the middle part of the ribbon then glue the ribbon bow to the back of the shell. This is the wing section of the angel.

Now, she is completed.
