A Card-Making Tip from Jackie Schlageter in New Mexico:
I get a freebee newsletter that always has loads of great free ideas in it. One I got recently had the following link in it. It is for Jan Bret cards and envelopes. You can have the card generated with your own personal message, or like I did leave it plain and you can write what you want in it yourself. There is one decorated envelope template and 8 really cute 4 fold cards there. These can be made for that special child in your life or let the children make them and give them themselves. Either way they will really enjoy them. I hope that you and/or the children in your life enjoy these cards to make. www.janbret.com/pdfcards/pdfcardgenerator_mitten.htm
A Prescription Tip - When our children are sick, the last thing we are thinking about is pinching pennies, but this is a tip that will really save you money. My husband is a pharmacist and knows that generic and store-brand medications are regulated by the FDA just as name brands. Store-brand over the counter medicines--like ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) must be just as effective as the name brand in order to be on the market. So, always buy them because they work just as well. The same is true for cough medicines, infant gas drops, vitamins, and even prescription drugs. Look right next to the name brand and chances are there will be a store-brand that can be as little as half the price! - Dollar Stretcher tip from Caroline in MN - http://www.stretcher.com/ - Used by permission.
