PRETTY SNACKS

  Who says snacks, breakfast bars etc. have to stay in the box lol! bring them out & let them be a part of your decor, pretty snacks make for good tasting snacks don’t you know lol! as I went through the house cleaning & thinking about do I dare try to downsize anything lol!I though about my dishes  I LOVE DISHES! they will never be downsized lol! plus I decorate the church, weddings  birthday parties, family gatherings,etc  with them soooo they get to stay no matter what,anyways instead of having 2-3 jars holding everything or stuck in the cabinet in the box, I pulled out one my antique pink bowls, now don’t they look much happier than in those old boxes? lol!

GOT WINDEX?

I was on a cleaning spree this morning , only to discover I was out of Windex, I really didn’t wantta go to town, seems like once you go to town, it’s all over lol! so I went on line for some Windex recipes & decided to go with this one   http://www.ehow.com/how_4857318_ecofriendly-natural-windex.html

How to make eco-friendly natural Windex!!!

this was the first time I’ve ever made my own Windex & was very happy with the results, just three simple ingredients * alcohol *vinegar  * water
Fill 1/4 of a spray bottle with alcohol .
Pour distilled white vinegar into the bottle until it is half full
Add enough filtered water to the bottle to bring the liquid level about an inch below the top.
I had an empty oxy bottle, rinsed it out, peeled the label off & waa laa!

diy

I can’t believe I made Windex lol!my mirrors & TV screens are sparkling! next I’m going to try my hand at making laundry detergent!
