Pop-Up Card

You can find a link to instructions and patterns at the ship pop-up I made here: {Robert Sabuda}. I find that double sided pattern card stock works well for these cards if you don't want to go through coloring them. I added a ribbon and made the card a little longer than it was suppose to be because the candles were sticking out a little bit above the card when I shut it. I just glued ribbon to a strip of cardstock and glued it to the card in the middle. I used glue stick & doublesided photo tape. There is a cute reindeer I might try for Christmas next year. You might check out One Pretty Thing blog for another doe and fawn pop-up card that looks a little easier. I might try making both next year. Just remember that if you are going to mail them they just might cost you more postage to do so.

Hoxsey Cancer Clinics

This morning I started reading, When Healing Becomes a Crime The Amazing Story of Hoxsey Cancer Clinics and the Return of Alternative Therapies by Kenny Ausubel Forward by Bernie Siegel, M.D. I met someone who went to this clinic years ago, who was cured of cancer. I had written the name of the clinic down on the inside cover of a notebook. I came upon it while looking through some of my notebooks. So I decided to looked it up and the book came up, so I looked into seeing if the public library had it. It did, so I checked it out. I've got books from other states also, so check out your interlibrary loan if your public library doesn't have the book. Read it! Here is a Documentary Film to watch for free online: {Hoxsey How Healing Becomes A Crime Documentary}

Red Clover Syrup

I canned {Red Clover Syrup} this morning . Thanks JoyceAnn for the recipe!! I used some of the leftover that wasn't enough to fill a jar, on apple bread french toast. My apple bread was a little dry so I thought I'd make french toast with it. Turned out yummy.
