On a Whim Crafting

      The other day while shopping for school supplies I came across this handy gadget on clearance for $20 bucks!! It normally sells for about $99 in store. With it comes a pan, cookbook and great instruction manual. No learning curve really, it was pretty straight forward coming out of the box. So far I have made chips, fried cheese sticks and pancakes this morning. The recipe for the pancakes was good but I think I can tweak it a bit and make it better. Because it works when the magnetic surface comes in contact with the steel pan the surface does not heat up until the pan is placed on it. If you pans are steel you can use them on the cooktop. It has pre-set temp buttons on the front and keeps the temperature consistent. You can also adjust the temperature yourself in increments of 5 degrees.

    I have been waiting all summer for the right time to start playing with my yarn. Last fall/winter and part of the spring I was a pretty busy bee on my Ultimate Sweater Machine. If you don't know what it is , it is a home hobby knitting machine. It is easy to assemble and does not need electricity, you put in the muscle. I make some great beanies on it. I can honestly say I have mastered the striped beanie pattern in the book and was comfortable enough to make my own alterations to the pattern. Here are some of the things I was able to do on this machine. These are just a few of what I did on the machine. If you would like a tutorial on how I make them please let me know in the comments. Thanks again and have a great evening. Sandy

I was hooked the first time I tried one and decided to become a distributor. My personal results floored me and my family members. I lost a total of 4 inches around my waist, by my 4th wrap/. These wraps firm, tighten and tone the area to which they are applied to, they are ready to go right out of the package. I have found that the results last anywhere from 2-6 months depending on my eating habits. I have maintained the inches lost by wrapping at least 2 times a month. This month we decided to take a little vacation and you know what that means horrible eating, well at least that is what it means for me. So I have started my cleansing and toning routine to get back to where I was before we
