Valentine's Day Glass Decals and Glasses for Other Occasions

Valentine's Day will be here two weeks from 
tomorrow. What goes?..it was just Christmas.
I wanted to show you some fun ideas for   
"Valentine's Day" or any special occasion
from our shop on Etsy. These beautiful glasses
(above) were made  by a customer of mine
with vinyl decals she purchased from
 "Santa's Gift Shoppe Vinyl Year Round".  

She did a fabulous job..Don't you think? 
She ordered the decals with the name/
Initials and dots she wanted for her sons 
wedding in Texas.(if I remember it right) 
She just loved them and was surprised at 
how easy it was. She ordered many Names
/Initials and Dots (they are sold individually 
with 1 name/Initial and Dots or 5 of those 
in a set) with transfer tape on them. You receive 
easy directions and very quickly you have a 
beautiful table setting. Here are a few other 
glass ideas for those other special occasions 
below.

  

You too, can make beautiful glasses like these 
for  Valentine's Day (or any special occasion) 
for that special someone" and yourself. The
vinyl decals & dots are priced very inexpensively. 
You could even go to Dollar Tree and get beautiful
glasses for a great price as well.
                                         
Here is a link to the store:
https://www.etsy.com/shop/santasgiftshoppe?ref=em

Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day and
don't forget to take a peek at our Fun Vinyl Decals 
for all the fun occasions in your life. We also have 
hearts and dots for kitchenaids.  

Cleaning a Crock Pot Fast and Easy

I thought I would give you a kitchen tip that I saw on
Pinterest. I tried this and it is fast and easy. Two words
that I really like. I have pics to show you the Before and After.

Since the Championship games for NFL and AFL are
on 1/23/16 and then Super Bowl is on Feb 7th I know a lot
of Crock Pots are going to get used a lot, so I thought I would
tell you this tip in hopes of making your clean-up a little easier.

***This idea is for the INSIDE of the crock pot
(the aluminum part) not the ceramic bowl.***

What you need:
~ 1 can oven spray cleaner (check label to be sure it is
ok to use on aluminum)
~ Some scrubbies (the green and yellow scrubbers)

Spray an even coat of foam around the inside of the cooker...
the aluminum part.(I did it in my kitchen and did not have any 
problem with any fumes)..but you may wish to do it outside. 

Let it sit for about 90 min. After that...use a scrubby sponge
to wipe out the foam. LOOK for yourself @ pics down below:
                                                                     
                                                                        BEFORE

                                                                         AFTER

Hope this helps you with the clean up. Enjoy the games.

Christmas Tree Minnie Mouse Ornaments

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Now on
to Christmas! I love it..it just goes by way too fast.

We just got our Christmas tree today. My family
and I love the tradition of all of us going to pick it
out. We usually have santa hats on and everything.

We have 2 trees....one that is a 7 1/2 foot green
artificial  one in the family room and the live
beautiful smelling one in the living room (plus
a few around the house which are smaller.) When
I was a child all 5 of us kids had a small tree in our room.
That was so much fun!

We also love the tradition of getting a new ornament
for our family room tree each year, This year we are
making our own Minnie/Mickey Mouse acrylic ornament
as our new one. If you would like to see others like this
you can go to my store "santasgiftshoppe" at ESTY

have a family member or friend going through such a life changing
event in their own lives. If you need any info about becoming a
Donor or about a transplant please use the KIDNEY TRANSPLANT
