Everyone should have a "special" box!

In my family, each of us has a special box (mine is a vintage beauty school box that my mom used to use when she was in beauty school) and my husband has an old instrument case that he uses.  We put any thing special to us, such as pics, special jewelry, awards, ect. and it is an awesome way for kids to have and keep their own special things, as well as teaching responsibility!

check out some neat ideas for boxes here:

You Gotta Have Faith Jewelry/Trinket Box

Scrimshaw Harbor Scene Trunk Box 

 

 It can be big, it can be small, but it is YOURS and it should ALWAYS be special!

Have fun!

WEIRD!!!

SO, I HAVE been known to watch Americas Next Top Model, (I know I know, I'm sick right :D)  , well, I found something really really weird!  I was searching Etsy stuff when I came across THIS item for sale:

All This And Brains Too Bodysuit 

Then, I looked at the MODEL.   OOOKAY.... this led to a search across the internet to find out if this was who I THOUGHT it was... and YES, Yes it is.  It is the runner up on one of the top models.   check it out:

Whats Up Wednsday? HELP NAME MY EGGPLANT CREATION!!!

One of my customers checked out my shop one day and saw my cactus creations and asked if i could create for her an eggplant version.  Of course I love a good challenge and spent a few hours playing around and came up with this little squirt here:

Raige Creations  (who bought this little cutie) is now in need of some assistance in naming said creature, so that she may be able to hold proper conversations with it whilst she sews, SO, get on over to her site and comment on her blog, or her comment thread, and let her know what kind of a name YOU think it should be!!! PLEASE HELP! (it would be neat if you also followed her since I noticed she only has 2 followers right now :(   ...so show some love there too if you like!)

THANKS GUYS! (YOU"RE THE BEST!)

Munchie Monday: THE BEST ASIAN DRESSING ON EARTH! (oh, and a great salad to go with it :D)

So, this is a SUPER TOP SECRET recipe that you must not tell ANYONE about (LOL) !

No, I don't care who ya tell or I wouldn't be posting this for you :D

So here it is, this stuff takes like 2 seconds to make and you spend the rest of the meal trying HARD not to drink it all STRAIGHT!  This stuff is addictive, use with CAUTION..or with croutons, whichever you prefer :D

Asian Salad Dressing:

1/2 Cup mayo
5 Tablespoons rice vinegar
2 Tablespoons dry sweetener (sugar, xylotol, cane sugar..ect)
2 Tablespoons sesame oil
1 Tablespoon soy sauce (I use Braggs Liquid Aminos, as it is actually HEALTHY :D)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS:
Put in mason jar, screw that lid on tight, and shake shake shake!


For the salad, I usually just throw my lettuce of choice in a big bowl, (I like spinach or baby greens best) and throw on top a can of mandarin oranges, a handful of cooked chicken, sliced green onions, toasted almonds, and if I have them, those fried noodle thingies!   then DRENCH with dressing and EAT! ( it is SO hard for me to share!)

lol, I promise I will eventually get to taking pics of these recipes, but for now you will just have to TRUST ME :D
