Baby Legwarmers

Hey everyone! Sorry, I've been gone a few days, I got so busy I literally had no time to sit down :).

Just wanted to share that I am starting to put my baby legwarmers back in my shop again :). They are really cute, and are great for a large age range of children, from babies, to crawlers, to toddlers and even beyond! Here are the two pairs I have listed right now, and I will add a couple more over a short time period!!!! Thanks for looking.

Amazing burn remedy

The other day I was at my moms house, and making some flowers for my sisters hair for a wedding she is going to attend.  (check out my shop soon, and they will be in there :)).  I was using my moms hot glue gun, and accidentially burned my finger.  It hurt was excruciating.  Oh my burns are the worst pain!!! I desperately went online in search of something to ease the pain.  I tried everything I saw.  Aloe, HA, I dunno who that REALLY works for.  Toothpaste, did nothing.  Vinegar, well it worked as long as there was ice in it! The only thing helping was keeping my hand in cold water.  And since I was fixing to have to drive home for 2 hrs, that wasn't going to be an option much longer.  Then, I read on some site that the burn center at parkland hospital in Dallas uses onions.  Hmmm, couldn't hurt to try.  I mean seriously, what was in going to do, make it hurt worse?  So I went and chopped up an onion and put it on there.  Seriously, instant relief!!!! It really worked.  Now my problem was if I took it off, the pain came back, but it did take a few minutes before it really was back to excruciating.  So, for the next 30 minutes, I held an onion on the burn.  As long as it was on there, I was fine.  Anyways, long story short, by the time I was about 30 minutes from my house (I burned myself at about 11, and it was now about 3), I could take off the onion, and there was no pain.  NONE! It was totally gone.  I could even bump my finger on things, and there was no pain! I am totally amazed.

So, next time you burn yourself, put a piece of onion on it, it really works!!!!!!!!!

Featured Artist: Note Cards and Photos by Theresa

Today I would like to feature my Mom’s online shop: Note Cards and Photos by Theresa.  Mom started taking pictures of things like flowers, birds, landscapes, etc. about two years ago.  Before that, she exclusively took pictures of family members, especially her grandchildren.  But as the kids started getting older, they don’t really want to stay still long enough to have their pictures taken- at least not as often as Mom would like to do so.  Since my Dad’s hobby is gardening, my Mom naturally began taking pictures of the lovely wildflowers that my Dad grows.  Then she branched out to taking pictures of the bees, butterflies and hummingbird moths that like to hang around their flowers.

Dad and Mom also love watching the birds in their backyard.  They put out hummingbird feeders in the summer and other bird feeders the rest of the year.  This year, because of the drought, they put out two bird baths.  The water has brought many new birds to the yard, which became the subject of many photos.

There is also a lake two or three blocks from my parent’s house.  This also gives my Mom a wonderful place to take pictures.  She has been taking pictures of the summer residents of the lake.  However, she is really looking forward to the Fall when many migrating birds arrive.

Mom and Dad also like to travel to different cities in Texas and other states.  Last year they flew to California and drove my sister’s car back to Texas.  On the way, they stopped at Yosemite, Mariposa Grove, Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon.  If you would like to read the whole story, you can go to my Mom’s blog where she has written a three post story about the trip home.  It is located at chatterfromtexas.blogspot.com.

Most of Mom’s pictures and note cards are located on her website: Note Cards and Photos by Theresa .  However, a few are in my Etsy shop:  This and That Creations . Mom sells photos and also makes note cards from any of the photos that she takes.
