I have made a scrapbook to put cards and letters in after Lesley mentioned that the Amish do this. I used to just throw them in a box, but this is so much nicer. I just used a binder I already had and some palin white, hole punched paper.

I have been making bread and dinner rolls! Real ones by hand. It is so good, and I am still trying new recipes.

I have learned a lot about healthier eating, and the Thursday check-ins help keep me motivated.

Thanks to all for your help and encouragement...

We tried your oatmeal dinner rolls, and loved them! I'm thinking to make them again tomorrow. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Hi,coming to this forum and visiting with you all had inspired me.I got my kitchen aide mixer I really like it,it makes kneading bread dough a breeze so I am baking more bread.I also made laundry soap a few weeks ago and I am planning to make bath soap aoon.I have changed some other things too like using less chemicals to clean with,eating healthier and such.I wil miss this forum if it goes down for good.
