March 2009 gladness...

My gratitude dear Yehovah, my Lord!
Through every life's odd I trust in you.
My hubby's positive result of gallstone
is all in your hand and I thank you for the
wisdom and grace to eat the right foods.
Forgive us for the temptation of "adulterated" foods
that can be easily grabbed in the marketplace.
We plead not to continue to our next generations
whether it's hereditary or not (knowing that our
mum had it once before it's treated conventionally
years ago).

Thank you for the right natural alternative
protocol treatment you will lead us into...
Thank you for the conventional doctors who
can scan our being while you give us a choice
what treatment we would go through with
peace, knowledge and some understanding....

Thank you for all the odds may big or small
yet our hope, dream & plan; vision are still on fire
for thine's the glory in time and space!
We have reason to rejoice what our life is for...
Our very strength; joy is in you Yehovah (God)!
We're victors thru your son Yeshua (Jesus)
who have done it on the cross once and for all!
Thank you for the healing and healthy life.

Thank you lots for family's/friends' prayers and support!

Do you love gardening around your house? What plants do you like to plant? Potatoes are not that hard to plant, it's fascinating to dig them underground though!

Home Organic Crop Big and Small Potatoes from my DIY basket

Quotes on Potato:

“Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn’t see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order. Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love.
Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy, but now they call this free will.
At least the ancient Greeks were being honest.”
~Chuck Palahniuk quotes (American freelance Journalist, Satirist and Novelist.b.1961)

“A man who prides himself on his ancestry is like the potato plant, the best part of which is underground”
~Spanish Proverb quotes

“It is easy to halve the potato where there is love.”
~Irish Sayings quotes

“If you are to give him the whole of Great Britain and Ireland for an estate, he would ask the Isle of Man for a potato garden”
~Lord North quotes

“Dropped like a hot potato”
~Proverb quotes

“Tossed around like a hot potato”
~Proverb quotes

Experienced crafters have always been inclined to give handmade gifts, but in these tough economic times even novice crafters are trying their hand at giving gifts from the heart.

One of the most treasured gifts to give or receive at any time is a mini scrapbook or memory album. In the past this might have meant using a small, standard scrapbook album and adding some meaningful photos. But today there are even more interesting and creative ways of giving the gift of memories.

There are an amazing number of mini scrapbooks you can create yourself using standard scrapbooking papers and supplies. For example, imagine making a scrapbook out of paper lunch bags! These are quite popular and extremely charming. You can include pullouts for additional photographs and tags in the pockets created when making these scrapbooks.

Another fun scrapbook album is the exploding box scrapbook. It looks like a little paper box, complete with lid. When you take the lid off a charming little scrapbook with several layers is waiting to be explored.

Or how about a mini scrapbook made out of envelopes? Or one made out of shipping tags? Or CDs, or CD cases? There are several different ways you can incorporate the bones of a book from all of these items.

Another popular mini album is the star book that looks like a star when it is opened up. Or open it the other way and it looks like a flower. And yes, you can add photos and journaling to these too.

The square around, triangular around and circle around books are all basically the same, except they come in the obviously different shapes. These books, when opened up, open into sections or rooms where your photos are displayed.

For the beginner, try a rubber band book or an accordion album. Both of these are very simple to make, yet once again when you add your photos and memory journaling they become absolutely cherished gifts.

For the most experienced crafter, how about a tunnel book? These books are 3-dimensional in nature and quite the attention getters.

There are so many fun album ideas out there including flip books, piano hinge books, library pocket books, flag books, Jacobs ladder books, and on and on. People love the uniqueness of these gifts, and once you add your photos and journaling, well, you just cannot go wrong.

If you want to have a nice, liveable spare room in your house you don't have to spend that much money. A few alterations here and there is all it takes to turn a barren room to a relaxing and welcoming abode for any guest.

Color

Usually, spare rooms do not enjoy the same attention given to the well-used rooms in the house. That's why a dull room can have such an impact on a guest. When a person enters a grey room, he or she recognizes early on that the room wasn't really occupied before he or she arrived.

Since spare rooms are mostly small, do not use strong colors on all the walls. Imagine sitting in a small room with dark green walls and a dark green ceiling. A person can suffer from claustrophobia from just staring at a small room made even smaller by the wrong color.

If you want to use strong colors, paint only one or two parts of the room. Leave the ceiling and the other half of the wall. You can combine strong and light hues of the same color. For example, a strong shade of gold and a light shade of corn-yellow.

Laminate flooring

Remove carpets and similar flooring materials before installing laminate flooring. According to Jake Brewer, a contractor for a small home-construction firm:

"Laminate flooring is by far the easiest ways to re-introduce some sort of distinction into a room. It's inexpensive and laminate flooring designs are beautiful to look at."

Laminate flooring tiles float, so make sure you have a small wooden mallet ready. Simply link the flooring tiles and tap lightly with the mallet to fit. Imagine yourself linking particularly large pieces of a nice jigsaw puzzle.

As a warning, make sure that there are no water leaks in the room, as water may build up under the laminate flooring that may cause problems in the future.

Blinds One way to make an unused room homey is by installing blinds. Blinds that imitate bamboo slats are particularly comforting and is relaxing to look at. Installation is simple: simply use rawl plugs so that screws may attach safely to stone walls.

If you have a house made mostly of wood, five to eight-inch screws will do. Have a spotter guide you to make sure that the bamboo blinds are completely level before you introduce the locking screw into its final place.

Linens

To beautify the space even more, linens and curtains should be used. According to Lisa Baxter, an interior decorator based in the UK:

"Matching colors are the best way to go. Linens are actually independent of wall colors, so make the most out of your color experiments."

Thin and translucent curtains can be used to highlight bamboo-slat blinds. A richer color of the same hue may be used for the linens, such as the bed covers and pillow cases.

Natural accents in the room, such as richly-colored cabinets and book cases add to the natural elegance of the room. At least two sources of lighting should be present like an overhead light source and a dim light near the bed or on a small table.
