GLORIOUS SPRING

Been out in yard scouting for the new birth of plants !  Low and behold I found
some.  My first pix is of my Gladiola bed and second is of the Daffodils.  I am a
lazy gardener, leaving a lot of the last foliage around perrienials to cover base,
and also some of my planst such as the different daisys make wonderful seed
food for the birds in the winter months.  This system has always worked best
for me, so it is fun to gently begin moving the debris aside and finding the new
growth.
My father always like Spring the best , stating it reminded him of the new birth
we receive from Jesus.  Or a reminder for us Christians what Christ has done for
us.  How true.  Wish he were alive in order to say, "how true."
The only drawback I feel when relishing Spring is knowing that the hot months
of Summer are just around the corner, ugh !   But once into Summer I can't wait
for Autumn, my other fav Season .
Happy Spring everyone !

A RECYCLE CRAFT SUPPLY

DRYER  LINT  CLAY

Now, for those of us that love to create , thrifty with our money, and save the earth, well here is a unique clay that works well!
You will need:
3 Cups Dryer Lint                      2 Cups  Water
5 Drops of wintergreen oil (but you don't have to use this)
1 Cup Flour
Put lint in a saucepan. Cover with oil and water. When lint is saturated add the flour.  Stir until smooth.
Cook over medium heat.   Stir constantly till peaks form and holds together.
Pour in onto a newspaper to dry.

Now you can model with it.  Put unused in a plastic bag. Will only last a couple days this way.  Dry finished modeled product for 5 days.
ENJOY
Susan
