    Thank you for these recipes! I've been debating back and forth whether to figure out how to make my own.

    Many Blessings,

    I sure would like to know how to disable copying. If it's easy, would you care to explain it to me? If it's not easy, don't worry about it! :)

    I DID IT! I figured out how to get something up on my template! I even managed to get that award picture on there. Thanks for offering to help. I was determined to figure it out, and I did it! I just might be ready to start playing around with my template, well, maybe not. But I'm getting somewhere at least. :>)

    Many Blessings,

    Holly

    Great post! I've been making my own toothpaste for about 3 years and we haven't had a cavity since. Here's my recipe:


    3 ts. baking powder (NOT soda!)

    1-1/2 ts. Peroxide

    3-4 drops of EITHER spearmint, peppermint OR wintergreen essential oil


    ~ Mix together in a small jar. When fizzing stops, cover with the lid. Store in room temperature.


    ~ Wet toothbrusch, SLIGHTLY, before use.

    The "boomerang" shapes on your blog were the same design that was on our countertops when I was a little girl...only ours were white, not blue. What a blast from the past!
