Nutrition Class Product

One of my class assignments was to create a fraudulent product. Any suggestions?

TWINKLE is right for you!

How it works

TWINKLE is an enriched goat-milk-based-lotion bar. It is a soft bar-like eraser that you can rub anywhere on your body. It is all natural focusing on Vitamin E which we all know is good for our skin. It is fortified with other essential vitamins and based on goat milk. Just rub it on your skin and see the difference.

TWINKLE was created for you!

It has the unique ability to fade and even stop wrinkling!

It works especially well for foreheads, and crows feet.

TWINKLE cost

TWINKLE bars are affordable at just $1 a piece! Please select the bars you would like for just $1 a piece. Then add $6.95 for shipping and handling.

Austin and Grandma

I'm so thankful for my family. The nieces and nephews have taken our family to another delightful stage of life. It is so fun to see my parents with their grandchildren.

Sewing Suits

These special outfits can be sanity savers. If you have ever cared for someone who was incontinent of stool, and liked to (as we say in healthcare) scratch and paint, you could have benefitted from one of these outfits. Yesterday I made two of these for my co-worker's son. I hope they will fit alright. He is a skinny little kid, and I couldn't get the waists as thin as I wanted.

First cut the shirt up the back, and insert a zipper.

Then attach the shirt to the pants.

The finished product.

Ice Skating

Logan has spent a lot of time making this rink. I've been skating on it as much as possible.

No ice skating today since it is covered by a foot of snow.

New Year's Eve

We hosted a New Year's Eve party at our house. We had about twenty people and most of us managed to stay awake until the fireworks exploded at midnight. By order of my siblings, I had to take a nap part way through the evening.

L to R: Curt R. Krystal H. Ulysa G. and Aaron C. playing Sequence

One of the fun things we did was set a timer for 15 minutes, and when it rang all the groups had to switch games. Strategy games, played by different people, in 15 minute sections can be rather unique.

The "Black Rook" table.

At the end of the evening we all gathered and shared praises to God from the past year. It was a fun night.

Christmas Blankets

This year I combined a few of my passions: sewing, crocheting, knitting, giving gifts, and old people. For months I've been working on making 20 blankets to take to "my-people." During my break time on Christmas Eve, I got a cart and loaded it up. Then I went up and down my hall giving personalized blankets to each of my people.

December 23rd addition

One lady couldn't stop smiling.

One lady told everybody that she had made this blanket for Betsy. When they explained to her that Betsy made it for her and showed her the name tag I sewed into it she responded, "I put that there so she would know that I made it for her."

Finally all done and labeled.

One lady told the CENA to go hide it in her room, she didn't want anyone else to take it.

It was such a delight for me to see my people opening Christmas gifts that I had made especially for them. I don't know if I told you or not, but I love Christmas. And this was one of the best ones I've had.
