How to Make:
BELLY BUTTON BRUSH
Needed:
Any color pipe cleaner, long bead. cardboard stock printing paper, small piece of wood (optional).
Cut pipe cleaner in 3" sections. Take one end and push down into bead. Roll remaining pipecleaner into a circle. (The bead & pipe cleaner now look like a small toilet brush.) Print out your favorite poem on cardboard stock paper and attach the small brush.
Poem 1
This Teeny Tiny Gift,
Does a Teeny, Tiny Chore.
But When You've Finished Using It,
You'll Be Troubled Nevermore.
By The Balls of Lint That Gather,
In That Pesky Little Place;
A Birthmark That is Shared,
By All the Human Race.
So Use This Navel Lint Remover,
With Care and in Good Health.
And When You're Done, You'll Surley Know,
You've Completely Cleaned Youself! You can then attach these to a small piece of wood
or just sell them or give them as is.
Poem 2
A belly button brush am I,
your naval lint I can't deny,
come on now, don't be so shy!
I have to ask the question why,
Why's your lint a mile high?
it reaches up into the sky!
Does it poke you in the eye?
Does it make you want to cry?
Now I see the reason why,
you try on pants before you buy,
it's cause your lint is "triple ply!"
(and lint like that you just can't buy!!!)
I need to clean & I will try
to keep your secret like a spy.
So come on, give me just one try
a belly button brush am I.
Poem 3
If your belly has lost it's luster,
Try our belly button duster!
Don't mean to be blunt,
but take a hint. . .
This little brush is
for belly button lint!
If you have belly button lint,
Please keep it to a hush,
But do take this little hint. . .
A belly button brush!
For those with everything
and even worth a mint. . .
Here's a belly button brush
for all that fuzzy lint!

Ingredients
3 c Sugar
1 ts Peppermint flavoring
1/2 c Water
3/4 c Lt. corn syrup
3/4 ts Red vegetable coloring
1/4 ts Cream of tartar
Method
The sugar, water, syrup, and cream of tartar you combine and heat till the sugar's dissolved real fine. Divide into two saucepans, boil, but don't stir, please, until each lot is 280F. Add 1/2 ts peppermint to each lot and add the coloring to one, the other not: place on an enamel or marble table to cool. (First oiling the table, as a general rule). Like taffy you stretch and pull and form into ropes of red and white, now twist them around again and again. And form them into your candy cane. Now on an oiled surface you allow them to harden.

Give an empty Christmas Paper plate & a Christmas cookie cutter.
Attach this poem:
I made a plate of cookies and ate just one or two and started feeling guilty because they were for you.
I went into a panic and ordered on the phone, this brand new cookie cutter so you could make your own.

I spent Sunday night printout out stuff from http://organizedchristmas.com/ and I've decided on which "plan" I'll be following this year.
Last year was the first time I didn't follow a plan or a budget and I didn't actually enjoy Christmas except for DD's face when she opened her pressie from Santa (A pink Nintendo DS she'd been asking for since they came out) and the time we spent at my parents place since it was my nieces first Christmas.This year I plan on enjoying as much as possible of it. I'm studying with the Open University and I have a study break between course from October to January so I'm already looking forward to it :rotfl::rotfl:
Just deciding to make a plan for this year has put me more in the Christmas spirit :xmassign::xmastree::snow_grinCreeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0
