Home Decor - 4th of July table decorations

These stars are very easy to make and can be used for many different occasions. Pick red, white and blue for Memorial Day or Fourth of July, use the colors of your school for a graduation party or silver for New Years. They are cut from card stock paper. You could cut different size stars and use the smaller ones for name plates.

Jewelry - Vintage Pendant

This pendant was made with my Grandmother's jewelry. It was an earring that I made into a pendant.

Insecticide Spray

I am still making lotions and potions with all of the essential oils I bought. The insect repellent (blog post 7/1/13) worked for about fifteen minutes before the mosquitoes decided the spray tasted like a marinade and NOT a repellent! The deodorant (blog post 7/3/13) worked but I would not recommend traveling with it. It was a melted mess when I arrived at our destination. I will make more and use it only in my home. My next experiment is a homemade insecticide spray. I adapted this one so my husband can use it on his garden. Insecticide Spray 1/2 head of garlic (you do not need to peel them) 1/2 T of pepper flakes 1/2 cup water Process in a blender until smooth then pout mixture through a sieve to remove chunks of garlic or pepper flakes. This is your "base." Pour your base mixture into a spray bottle. Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of Jojoba oil. Screw on top and shake.
