My Newest Creation - Louise's STRING SCARVES / Scarf

At a craft show I saw a scarf that gave me the idea to make these scarves because I have tons of all kinds of yarn.  They are just multiple strands of all different kinds of specialty yarns, knotted in the middle and on both ends.  They sold like crazy at the last show. It is important to use at least 5 different yarns, threads etc. Many different ones can be seen in our eBay Store.
Blues, with fun fur
Greens with fun fur

Pinks and lavender with dusty pink fun fur

Tan, grays and fun fur

Red, Purple and pink with fun fur and red & purple eyelash yarn

Blues, white and browns with fun fur

Tan with bright green, yellow and orange fun fur.


And of course being the eBayer I am, here is a link to those currently listed. Some of the ones photoed may not be available, but I will do custom including team colors.  Special pricing for 5 or more.

YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS


 In Jan, 1999, we were first introduced to these oils. In the last 12 years we never cease to be amazed at their value. 

So here is just a little info on a few of our favorite oils.  Keep in mind that it is important to consult a physician when any alternative therapy is considered. 

Gene volunteered to apply 2 drops to the bottom of my feet every night with 3 different oils . The feet absorb the oils faster than only other part of the body but because he has the oils on his hands, he benefits from them as well.

Thieves Oil Blend - Formulated from the herbs the grave robbers anointed themselves with before they robbed graves in medieval Europe.   I have not had a bad cold or the flu for as long as we have been doing this - over 8 years. Young Living has created a whole line of cleansers and sprays using the thieves. Various Thieves Products

Valor  - Also called Chiropractor in a bottle. "It has been found to help the body self-correct its balance and alignment giving relief of pain."  Valor

Peace and Calming - "Promotes relaxation and a deep sense of peace, helping to dampen tensions and uplift spirits"  It also helps curtail snoring, so Gene puts that on on me too so he can sleep better. Peace and Calming

Other oils we like - All the citrus.- Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit and Orange.  We dip the end of a toothpick in the oil and then swirl it in a gallon of water.  It  flavors the water and adds Vitamin C to the water.  

I wondered at the beginning how that is possible and was told this example.  If we were to do the same with the oregano oil and swirled that 1 end of the toothpick in tomato sauce the end result would be like adding 1 pound of oregano.  Amazing.  So just a drop or two can flavor alot of liquid. 

Some of the oils are so pure they can be put under the tongue or in gel caps and take internally. 

There are many single oils plus alot of blends.  There are hundreds of testimonials on all the miraculous things these oils do. They truly are amazing.  Once you try one, you will be convinced and will want to try them on so many ailments.

We are distributors and can get the oils for you at the special customer prices. And if you are interested in selling them yourself we can add you to our downline and as you build your network, can earn a commission each month.    Our distributor number is 215438.
