Sock Snowmen :)

[We've all seen/had a sock monkey.......but how cute are these!!! ~Tina]


How cute are these to make with the little ones?!!!!!!!!!!!

For this craft, you'll need:
a pair of old socks that are crew length, or longer,
rice,
rubber bands,
map pins with heads,
buttons,
any left over fabric, if you want for a scarf. 


First, cut off the top of the sock from the foot. 
Turn the sock inside out and attach a rubber band tightly to the top of the sock.
Then turn the sock right-side out again. 
Fill the sock with rice. Make sure to pack it down as you go so the sock gets a nice round base. 
Rubber band the top of the sock closed and put another rubber band 3/4 of the way to the top for the head of your snowman. 
Now, decorate!
Tie a scarf around your snowman's neck and add eyes, nose, and buttons. 
Use the toe of your cut socks to fashion a stocking cap.
Or you could use colored argyle socks to create hats and sweaters for your snowman. 
You can either sew or glue on your buttons, and add embellishments - twine, bows, ribbons, etc - as needed.  
This is such a quick and easy craft - 10 minutes tops - that it would be simple to create a whole family of snowmen for your mantle!

Revitalizing Cucumber Toner

*** Ohwww...a 'spa' treatment at home!***

Revitalizing Cucumber Toner

This toner is very mild and is supposed to work well for all skin types. Cucumber is great for soothing and softening skin because it has the same pH as healthy skin.
If you wake up feeling like your face is a little puffy, try using this toner, it's really refreshing and should help to calm and tighten your skin. It's mild enough to use everyday.

1/2 cucumber with peel, chopped
3 tablespoons witch hazel
2 tablespoons distilled water

Put all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. I poured the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove all of the solids and used the back of a spoon to mush down what was left in the sieve. There was very little wastage. Discard what is left over in the sieve.
Pour the toner into a clean bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Store this toner in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life—it should last for several weeks.

To use, apply the toner to your face using a clean cotton ball.
