Herb ice cubes!

Good morning!  Today's post is about freezing your herbs.  It comes a time when you just don't know what to do with all that sweet basil and parsley in your garden.  I hate letting it go to waste.  So what do I do?  I wash it, let it dry and then put it in ice cube trays and fill with water or olive oil.  That is of course after I have dried it all summer and have jars stored in the basement.

I bought these nice ice cube trays from Tupperware.  I love that they have a lid on them.  This year I froze one tray with a mixture of parsley and sweet basil and another with just sweet basil.  Today I have to go out and pick more so the parsley I will put it in the fridge and use in smoothies and cooking.  It lasts a long time in the fridge if you don't wash it.  I think I will make some sweet basil in oil with the basil.

 I chop the herbs up good so all you have to do is throw the cube in the pot and it is just like fresh.

I hope you enjoyed todays post.  Come back a check out another in a few days.  I will be posting the cards for my Beary Christmas workshop.

And as always, for your paper crafting needs.  Check out my website at paperdivas.ctmh.com.  You can also email me at rondaladuke@outlook.com.

Have a great day!  Hugs!!!

Operation Smile

Good morning everyone!

Today I want to share with you, information about Operation Smile and what Close to my Heart does to support this wonderful Organization.

We have a stamp set called Punny Pals.  It is so dang cute.  The item number is D1751.  It sells for $17.95 and CTMH donates $7.00 of each one sold to Operation Smile!  You get 36 stamps in this set.

Now because October is Operation smile month.  CTMH has came out with a thin die set to go with each of these cute little animals.

This by itself sells for $28.95.  This is only available in October.  The stamp set and it's donation is available through the end of July 2018.  There is always an Operation smile stamp set with the CTMH donation available.  It changes with each Annual idea book.

Also for October you can purchase this sweet card kit. Which includes the die set!  This sells for $39.95.  You get 10 pieces of 12 x 12 paper, 32 card bases and envelopes and the die set.  The stamp set is sold separately because of the donation that CTMH give with each set sold.

You can buy the cards and envelope separate so if you want to make more than 32, for $9.95.  The kit is a saving of about $9.00 when you buy it all together.

Now if you buy this kit and the stamp set, you also qualify for the stamp set of the month which is called Christmas Tunes.  It is so nice.

Don't for get to add it to your cart.  It will show you it when you add your items.  It is only $5.00!

So there you have it.  Please help us make beautiful smiles around the world.  It only cost $250 to fix a smile.  All of the doctors and nurses donate there time and equipment.
