Need to cut down on coffee... (8 posts) - Posted On : 01 Oct 2006 08:17 PM Edit Post | Report Spam

well i drink green tea. i get it from an oreintal food store. it has a wonderful taste! like a little lemonish and sweet too. and i put about a tsp of honey in it. and its great for dieting too. i gotta say i drank that stuff for a month and lost about 8 pounds! WITHOUT working out! alot of my friends and family have tried this stuff too. in the morning now since i am soo busy i make myself an iced coffee and chug it down really quick! i think i should stop because i am making it a habit! well good luck with your tea quest!

How do you store your beads? (36 posts) - Posted On : 01 Oct 2006 04:29 AM Edit Post | Report Spam

i used to store my beads in small zip loxk baggies but found that i lost interest in the beads when the bag got all shabby and worn. so then i started to restring the beads and post nails up on the wall to hang them by color. kinda like that bead shop with hanks. atleast i can now see what i have and what i need to buy. cause i am on a tight budget now and its nice to know that i wont need to buy unneccessary beads. but i do LOVE all beads!!! i store all my metal findings in top opening craft containers so i can see what they are before opeining the box. hope this helps!

Photographing designs (20 posts) - Posted On : 01 Oct 2006 04:10 AM Edit Post | Report Spam

hi there! well what i use is always natural sunlight and a lamp light going against the piece. normally around 1pm in the afternoon i take the pictures with my digital camcorder. cause it gives that soft affect that i want without too much glair. and the sun is bright but not soo bright that the pictures turn orange. if i take the pictures earlier they never turn out. and sometimes taking them outside is nice. i always use a, all white backround. i hope this helps a little!
