Wow - Peroxide - Every Home Should Have Some!

What is Oxi clean?
3% peroxide

Did you know that ???
This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana

"I would like to tell you of the
benefits of that plain little old bottle of 3% peroxide you
can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars."

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe)

No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. (Small print says wash mouth and gargle right on the bottle)

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of "Peroxide" to keep them free of germs.

3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.

4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.

5. I had fungus on my feet for years - until I
sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.

6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine, but was healed by soaking in peroxide.

7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.

8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, or plugged sinuses. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your
nose into a
tissue.

9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.

10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, reddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.

11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help get rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.

12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.


13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors, and there is no smearing which is why I love it so much.

I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without! With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner.

Pretty cool information so I thought I should share it!

My New Siggy - YAY - Thank you Laycock Designs



Send her an email if you want one too! Click Here!

Jacquie Lawson is SOOOOOOOOO Talented!

A friend of mine sent this to me and I thought it was sooooooo cool! Just click on the link and then click on a color bottle and watch the beauty and creations begin - she is amazing! Click here

THANK YOU to everyone who visited my blog!

I have left my creations up using the stamp set HEARTFELT THANKS! This set is very special to me as my upline and Stampin' Up! Mom, Linda McClain gave it to me when I signed up as a demonstrator! Thank you Linda! Check out her website here! You can click on the pictures to make them larger if you want to see the detail in each picture!


I used Heartfelt Thanks Rubber Stamping Set from Stampin' Up! on both of my cards and my picture frame.








I found this cute polka dot paper in the Pink Flamingo Designer Paper Series and HAD to use it! I used the Top Note Die Frame (leftover part) to make the inside of the card for something different. I used one of the stamps to make a background for the center and after stamping and putting crystal effects on it, I decided to make a pink tissue rose for it. I used our buttons on the bottom to add some more white and add some dimension! I hope you like it!

I found this frame at Hobby Lobby for $1.49 minus my 40% coupon - I couldn't find anything else I wanted! Imagine that? Anyway, I covered the frame with our designer paper and used my utility knife to cut out the 3 X 3 photo slots for these precious puppies that just turned 6 weeks old today! I added little love knots and ribbon around the photos; then stamped the flowers in Bashful blue and then Night of Navy. I cut them out and glued the big one onto the divider and then used dimensionals to pop up the other two flowers. The puppies will be going to new homes next week and I will miss them terribly, so I decided I needed framed pictures of them! You guys may have to console me when they are gone as they are such a delight to have around! I will miss their puppy kisses and puppy breath! *Sigh*

Lining Wedding Envelopes!

I saw this on Martha Stewart and decided I just had to share it with you! This would make wedding invites and their envelopes look spectacular!





A skillfully lined envelope hints at the elegant invitation inside.

Tools and Materials:
Decorative paper
Ruler
Bone folder
Paper cutter
Scrap paper
Glue stick



Lining an Envelope How-To
1. To make an envelope liner, measure the width of your envelope, and subtract 1/4 inch. For the length, fold back the flap of the envelope, and measure from the bottom of envelope to tip of flap, just under the gummed strip. Using a paper cutter, cut a sheet of paper to these dimensions.

2. Slip the paper into the envelope, and fold the corners down just below the glue line, using a bone folder to create sharp creases. Remove the paper from the envelope, and cut off the corners along the folds.

3. Insert liner sheet into envelope, and fold down flap. Lift up the envelope flap, keeping the liner folded. Slip a piece of scrap paper under the liner flap to protect envelope from glue. Run the glue stick over the edges of the back of the liner.

4. Slip out scrap paper. Close down the outer flap over liner, and rub with fingertip to adhere glue to flap.

Make envelope liners to match the theme of a wedding. Print lacy patterns, bright colors, photos of the bride and groom, and more -- the options are endless.

I just love sharing cool ideas! See you soon, Renee
