Who knew toothpicks could look so pretty? These lovely sparkly, fuzzy ornies are all ready for the holidays.
What you'll need:
4 toothpicks, cut in half
9 small glittery white pom poms
White craft glue
White or gold ribbon
White craft paint
How to make it:
Paint the toothpicks white and let them dry.
Glue the pointed end of a toothpick into one pom pom. Repeat for all toothpicks, gluing them in a radial pattern, and let them dry.
Place a generous amount of glue onto the unglued end of one of the toothpicks glued to the center pom pom. Take one of the remaining white pom poms and glue it on. Continue this step for all the remaining toothpicks attached to the center pom pom. Allow for them all to dry completely, overnight or even two days is best--this is a fragile project!
Carefully tie a piece of yarn around one of the toothpicks up near the pom pom. Add a little glue to reinforce the knot and then let dry.
Tips:
Be carefully not to push on the toothpicks too hard as they may break.
About ten minutes into the paint drying, lift the toothpicks off the paper so that they do not stick to your work surface then return the toothpicks to paper to continue drying
This is a fragile project and requires patience. Your best bet is to allow these to dry for two days. If you need to speed up the project, use hot glue instead. Make sure an adult is on hand if you are using the hot glue.

How to Stay Warm the Old-Fashioned Way
Was searching through the internet today
(using my new favorite search engine - scour - sign up here http://scour.com/invite/bookmonster/)
I was looking for ways to save money off your heating bill. Lately I've been reading about different heaters,
and layering clothing and such - but I wanted some really, good tips - and here is what I found!
-As the winter weather grows colder and colder, you can learn to adjust the temperature lower and lower and your body will adjust too. Every few days set your heat a few degrees cooler.
-Each time you adjust the temperature lower, add more warm clothing, such as thermal underclothing, an extra pair of socks and warm sweatshirts. There are so many different seasonal sweatshirts that you probably have many already that will make you look great and feel comfy at the same time.
-A pillow for your feet. That helps keep your feet from the coldest part of my house, the floor. You will be surprised that you don't need as much heat as you had thought. Just think of the savings!
-Socks keep out the cold Check out the windows of your home. If you feel cold air coming in around your windows, you have a problem. You can stuff strips of old worn out socks around the cracks between the window and the frame. Cut the socks lengthwise and then cut into halves or fourths depending on the size of the cracks where the cold air comes in. It's much cheaper than caulking and much easier to remove when spring comes. Use the rounded knife blade to push the material into the cracks. If your friends wonder at your new decorations, just tell them your windows have ruffles!
-Stop that draft under the door Many older houses have problems with air seeping in under the doors. Use a throw rug, fold and tuck it across the bottom of the door. This helps especially at night when the outside temperature goes down and the wind is blowing a blue northern.
-Warm sunshine On those cold, but sunny days, open the drapes and pull up your blinds and let the sunshine in. It's free solar heating.
Today's Freebies
Hey everyone,
Here are some of today's freebies I hope you enjoy! Not so many - they get a little slow around the holidays! Hope you enjoy!
http://www.dunkinathome.com/index.php
How Long Can You Keep Those Leftovers?
Cooked Food Item & Average Refrigerator Storage Time
Roast turkey 3 to 4 days
Stuffing 1 to 2 days
Giblet Gravy 1 to 2 days
Canned Cranberry Sauce 5 to 7 days
Homemade Cranberry Relish 5 to 7 days
Roast Pork 2 to 4 days
Roast Beef/Veal/lamb 3 to 4 days
Baked ham 3 to 5 days

Cleaners such as Windex rely upon three common ingredients: distilled water,
vinegar and ammonia. No matter what other additives a commercial product may add,
the real cleaning is done by combining 10 to 20 parts water, one part
vinegar and a scant amount of ammonia. Try starting with a mixture at 20 parts
distilled water. If you need it stronger, you can add more vinegar and ammonia.
Be cautious when handling and storing ammonia. Be sure to label the contents
clearly as containing ammonia and then store out of the reach of children.
scent you've chosen.
3. Stir ingredients until completely incorporated.
4. Seal Container and let sit overnight, stirring occasionally.
5. Place in decorative, sealed containers.
6. Tie with ribbon or raffia.
7. Add a scoop to the ribbon.
Note: For a fun twist, create an "Ice Cream Soda" by packaging salts
in a cellophane bag. Place salt bag into the bottom half of a parfait
glass. Place a bath "poof" (those fluffy scrubber thingies) on the
top half of parfait glass (tuck the string underneath) - This is
the "Whipped Cream". To complete the look, place a bendable (I use
colored) straw down the side of the parfait glass. Voile, a fun
homemade bath gift! This is a fun gift for kids to make and give.
If you watch the thrift stores, or go to garage sales, you typically
can find sundae and parfait glasses for a dime or a quarter each.
Even check on FREECYCLE.
You can also add baking soda (about a heaping teaspoon) for a FROTHY
mixture.
Hope you enjoy!

Back Woods Home
Know I said I wasn't going to post today - but I guess I found time (lol) ! One of my favorite sites to visit online is probably Back Woods Home they offer articles on having a homestead - to frugal cooking! They have a lot of great resources, and the have a forum! The Forum is a great place to go if you have any questions, want to talk, or are just looking for something to do! I'm yet to become a member, but am thinking of becoming one! They have a magazine that you can subscribe to (the site is based off of the magazine) and it looks really valuable! Some of my favorite places to visit while I'm there is the:
Free Stuff Section - You can subscribe to their e-mail newsletter (which has some humor pieces and an article or two, it also has occasional discounts included (smiling) , they also have some awesome wallpaper! I downloaded the one from Jan/Feb '08 and really like it!
Current Issue Section - Here you can view some of the articles in the most current edition of the magazine. They don't let you view all of the articles (which is another reason I should subscribe...) - but they do let you look at a good amount of them!
Recipes Section - They have a huge database of recipes - my favorites include the Old-Fashioned Hot Chocolate , and the Chicken Chili
Article Database - They basically have all of the articles dating back to their first issue on this page - available to read online! I love looking at the Crafts, Energy, Food & Recipes, and Making/Saving Money categories!
Well that's todays post - I hope you head on over to Back Woods Home and enjoy!
