For All You Gemstone & Soap Lovers!!


OK I love Gemstones but who would have thought ................. These soaps look just like actual Gemstones.

Having been crafting most of her life, it was a perfect fit when a close friend introduced her to her first Gemstone Soaps. What a joy to play with colors and shapes and create something so natural looking or completely whimsical!

Sapphire Soap is hypnotized by gemstone colors and shapes. That the earth gives us such amazing eye-popping stones to wear and gaze at is nothing short of a miracle.

She wants to share these little treasures with everyone! People sometimes tell her they don't want to use them because they are so pretty.
She tells them to have fun and use them and watch them come alive under the water! Enjoy the fabulous lather and heady fragrances

Happy Mother's Day Ladies ....




MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
They don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
Are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
Filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough
Doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what
The vacuum just sucked up.......

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'
And get their answer when a little
Voice says, 'Because I love you best.'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth
Is not measured by height or years or grade...
It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother.....

The Images of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't know everything!

14 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother? She wouldn't have a clue.
.
16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's so five minutes ago.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she
Shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Crock Pot and Skillet Recipes



How many of you work full time yet still come home and cook a full dinner? Well I do and I have to admit I am just to tired to do it every night. And I refuse to stay in all day Saturday or Sunday cooking for the following week while everyone else is out enjoying themselves.


So now that I got that off my chest.... I'm looking for some either Crock Pot recipes, quick skillet recipes or even some great filling salads.


Here are a few of my quick and easy recipes:

Shrimp and Pasta dinner for 4

1 Bag of jumbo uncooked frozen shrimp (peeled)

2-3 cloves garlic sliced

1 small onion chopped

1 jar of clam juice (chicken broth works well also)

1 box linguine

*salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, crushed hot pepper seeds season to taste*

*Put a pan of water on for pasta while cooking shrimp

I add about 1/4 cup olive to a large skillet on medium/high heat

When oil is hot add garlic, onion, Italian spice, salt and pepper. Cook about 5 minutes or until garlic and onion are soft. Once garlic and onion are soft add frozen shrimp, cook about 3-5 minutes (I use 8 per person). When shrimp are pink on both sides add the clam juice and heat through. Toss over linguine and enjoy!!


I love salads and always have salad fixings on hands. Some of my must haves are goat cheese, feta cheese, walnuts, sun flower seeds, avocado
calimata olives and red onion

When ever I make a grilled or broiled chicken breast dinner I always cook an extra 3 for salads.

Grilled Chicken and Avocado Salad

Get any type of salad mix you desire. I personally like Dole's Spring Mix.
Slice up your chicken, avocado and red onion.
On a platter put your salad mix and then layer your sliced chicken, avocado and onion. Sprinkle on some feta cheese and olives.
The salad dressing I like for this salad is a Lemon Vinaigrette.
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/8 cup lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

pinch of salt

*ground black pepper to taste




Beef Stew in a Crock Pot
1 package of stew beef
1 cup sliced carrots
1 medium onion
4 medium potatoes peeled and cut
1 cup sliced celery
First thing in the morning put all ingredients in the crock pot cover with water add salt and pepper, 2 tablespoons of gravy master.
Put on high should be all set when you come home.






After dinner relax with a nice glass of wine!!

1st Graders

A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

1. Don't change horses ... until they stop running.


2. Strike while the ... bug is close.

3. It's always darkest before ... Daylight Saving Time.

4. Never underestimate the power of ... termites.


5. You can lead a horse to water but ... How?

6. Don't bite the hand that ... looks dirty.

7. No news is ... impossible

8. A miss is as good as a ... Mr.

9. You can't teach an old dog ... new Math


10. If you lie down with dogs, you'll ... stink in the morning.

11. Love all, trust ... Me.

12. The pen is mightier than the ... pigs.

13. An idle mind is ... the best way to relax.


14. Where there's smoke there's ... pollution.


15. Happy the bride who gets all the ... presents.


16. A penny saved is ... not much.

17. Two's company, three's ... the Musketeers.


18. Don't put off till tomorrow what ... you put on to go to bed.


19. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and ... You have to blow your nose.


20. There are none so blind as ... Stevie Wonder.


21. Children should be seen and not ... spanked or grounded.

22. If at first you don't succeed ... get new batteries.


23. You get out of something only what you ...
See in the picture on the box


24. When the blind lead the blind ... get out of the way.

25. A bird in the hand is ... going to poop on you.

And the WINNER and last one!


26. Better late than ... Pregnant
