So I totally found the awesomest website today!! I has printable cards and envelopes, FREE!!!
I am a bit of a geek, but love to send people little cards with thank you notes or encouragement or something in them... so it is awesome, especially as most cards are around $7 to buy these days. Bargain eh :)!
There is so many different styles on this website, it really is worth a look! At this stage I've only printed them out on paper, but card or thick paper would work awesome too!
Peace out :)

Hymn to a Good Wife
This is the whole reason that I started this blog. I love it!
I'm so proud to be a wife and mumma and give it the best shot I can! I'm learning that even though I'm not currently brining in some cash, I still have a responsibility in how I spend the money.
Proverbs 31:10-31 (msg) A good woman is hard to find,
and worth far more than diamonds.
Her husband trusts her without reserve,
and never has reason to regret it.
Never spiteful, she treats him generously
all her life long.
She shops around for the best yarns and cottons,
and enjoys knitting and sewing.
She's like a trading ship that sails to faraway places
and brings back exotic surprises.
She's up before dawn, preparing breakfast
for her family and organizing her day.
She looks over a field and buys it,
then, with money she's put aside, plants a garden.
First thing in the morning, she dresses for work,
rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.
She senses the worth of her work,
is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.
She's skilled in the crafts of home and hearth,
diligent in homemaking.
She's quick to assist anyone in need,
reaches out to help the poor.
She doesn't worry about her family when it snows;
their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear.
She makes her own clothing,
and dresses in colorful linens and silks.
Her husband is greatly respected
when he deliberates with the city fathers.
She designs gowns and sells them,
brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops.
Her clothes are well-made and elegant,
and she always faces tomorrow with a smile.
When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say,
and she always says it kindly.
She keeps an eye on everyone in her household,
and keeps them all busy and productive.
Her children respect and bless her;
her husband joins in with words of praise:
"Many women have done wonderful things,
but you've outclassed them all!"
Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades.
The woman to be admired and praised
is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God.
Give her everything she deserves!
Festoon her life with praises!

A wee yoghurt trick
Here is a trick I learnt from Sophie Gray, one of the many.
You can make yoghurt, in an Easiyo maker, with milk powder, and you don't need to use a whole packet of Eziyo yoghurt mix.
125g milk powder makes 1 Litre of milk. It also makes 1 Litre of Yoghurt. Add 125g milk powder to your yoghurt container, add 1 Tbsp Easiyo yoghurt mix (which can be kept in the fridge or freezer), add water to the top, shake... and continue to make as usual, adding hot water the the inside of the maker etc etc.
Hope this makes sense...
Just one way to save some mulla in the cooking department. Delicious for smoothies, as a replacement for sour cream... experiment and let me know how you get on :)
