Hot Tips
Hi Guys and Gals , Well here I am again with a big tip for your Christmas Day! If anyone out there has gotten a little bit in debt with the Christmas season buying, You can now go out and save a bundle on your own car repair. That's right! I found a web site called "Car Care Kiosk.com" and all you have to do is put your car make and model in and up comes the general maintenance for your car. Also they give you videos on how to do it. I think that would be fun for all you girls out there who love a challenge and if you have a bit of cabin fever, well there you go. Go out and change your air filter, or the oil in your car. Not only will you save a bundle but you will feel oh so good about it. Now there's a do it your self tip of the day!!! Havwe a safe and soulful New Year! Hugs! Sheshe

Martha Pullen Company | Sewing Made Easy
Martha Pullehttp://www.marthapullen.com/community/tips-projects/ideas.htmln Company | Sewing Made Easy
Have you ever seen Martha Pullens web-site? Or perhaps her T.V. shows. So different than your average bear. ( j.k.haha) Beautiful
sewing essentials for anyone who sews. From the french lace to the little checks on her fabrics. Reminds me of what my mother used to sew. That was in the olden days though,right? My mother God rest her soul did more than anyone (I think) in her 58 years of life than anyone I know. Martha Pullen would have been proud of her had she known her.
On that subject of our mother, she sewed all of our clothes. And that was a handful in and of itself. There were 8 of us girls, and 2 boys. We would all have matching dresses for all of the holidays. (I will look for a picture of us) and she would make my dad and brother jackets, and the baby of the family ,little bro, would be in knickers and knee socks.
As if that wasn't enough, she made our flannel nighties for christmas eve, and our dolls had matching nighties as well. She would make them all the same except for the accent color, that was how to tell them apart. Even our underwear was handmade. With little cotton eyelet ruffles on the bootie. I remember this to this day, all I wanted for my 9th birthday was a store bought dress. And I got it. I feel so bad now. And I sure wish I had those dresses now.
So this is why I really love Martha Pullens web-site. Check her out.
And if you have a story to share, PLEASE DO. Right here. I would love to read it, and perhaps share it if thats alright with you.
Enjoy your family this holiday season, Sheshe(Victoria)
