Candy Sayings and Ideas




The favors that are mentioned here are ideas for church ladies group functions but could be used for other type of functions as well. Favors at ladies meetings and banquets add so much. They serve as a keepsake and a memory of your event and also can be used as decorations on your tables for banquets and dinners. Many of these would make great projects for group crafts at ladies meetings and for Retreat Workshops. Also many would be perfect little Secret Sister Gifts. Most of these links will lead to my blog since that's where I've been posting my latest crafty projects:)

Highway Sign
















This sign is located in Dallas. It changes every 3 minutes. Some of the sayings included are:
Keep using my name in vain and I will make rush hour longer.
Do you have any idea where you are going?
My way is the highway.
I love you and you and you and you...and...
Tell the kids I love them.
Lets meet at my house on Sunday before the game.
We need to talk.
Do you have any idea where you are going?
Big Bang Theory? You've got to be kidding!
Loved the wedding, invite me to the marriage.
Will the road you are on get you to my house?
Have you read my #1 best seller? There will be a test.
What part of "Thy Shalt Not..." don't you understand?
C'mon over and bring the kids.
You think it's hot here?
Need directions?
Follow me.
That "love thy neighbor" thing... I meant it.

How to Stay Young



HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Try everything twice.
On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph:
"Tried everything twice.loved it both times!"


2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)


3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever..
Never let the brain get idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'

And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!



4. Enjoy the simple things.



5. Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh,
spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.



6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
LIVE while you are alive.



7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.



8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county,
to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

I love you, my special friend.

11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second chance.
Remember! Lost time can never be found.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Tim ConWay Classic



I’m thinking that “The Carol Burnett Show” is one of the Top 5 TV shows of all time.

All I Need to Know About Life I Learned From a Snowman



Our Librarian had a picture with these words on it. I thought it was so "danged" cute!

All I Need to Know About Life I Learned From a Snowman

Its OK if you're a little bottom heavy.
Hold your ground, even when the heat is on.
Wearing white is always appropriate.
Winter is the best of the four seasons,
It takes a few extra rolls to make a good midsection.
There's nothing better than a foul weather friend.
The key to life is to be a jolly, happy soul.
You know you've made it when they write a song about you.
It's not the size of the carrot, but the placement that counts.
We're all made up of mostly water.
Avoid yellow snow!
Don't get too much sun.
It's embarrassing when you can't look down and see your feet.
It's fun to hang out in your front yard.
There's no stopping you once you're on a roll.
Always put your best foot forward!

Ponderisms

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Garden Rule" When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuabe plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFO's anymore?

IN the 60's people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weir and people take Prozac to make it normal.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out?"

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if he's going to look up there anyway?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

But Most Of All, Remember!
A good friend is like a good bra. Hard to find. Supportive. Comfortable. And always close to your heart.
