FINALLY ANSWERS

2011-12-12T10:23:00.001-06:00

I have been very sick this whole last year and why there have not been many posts. After taking the twins to the pumpkin patch and not being able to barely get out of bed for the next week I forced the doctors to run as many tests as they had to, in order to find out what was wrong. It turns out I am allergic to two of the metals in my knee replacement and my body has been working hard rejecting it. So I will be getting it replaced again as soon as the only doctor in Nebraska that can do it can fit me in. I am thrilled they found out the cause and hope next year is a much better year. Thank you to all of our cutomers for your layalty and prayers during this difficult year.

SEE YOU SATURDAY!

RECIPE FOR "like" MARY ELLENS BEST PRESS STARCH FOR QUILTERS

2011-09-26T15:37:00.003-05:00

This is the recipe "like" Best Press starch.

Mix together:
1 tsp scented essential oil (found in Walmart candle supplies aisle and they have lots of scents) Note: scent is optional if allergic to scents.
3 oz. vodka (YES vodka) LOL
Then add to 24oz distilled water in large spray bottle and shake well.
(Hint: Vodka is made from potatoes , a natural starch.)
..
Add one drop of food color per gallon (optional)

My mom went and got the supplies for it today and she got linen scent and it smells so good! With all the ingredients it was under $15 to make 2 gallons and one small bottle of Best Press costs you that much! I love saving money with quilting :)

ANOTHER GREAT HALLOWEEN IDEA

2011-09-13T19:46:00.003-05:00

You all know I am into recycling. Well here is another recycling idea. Get figurines from Goodwill of brides and grooms or other figurines. I found these pictures that the middle was 3 dimensional figurines. (from Goodwill) Look at the figurines to see how the heads will come off the best. You can cut te neck off or I just hold the body with one hand to keep it from breaking and knock the heads off.

If you check Dollar Tree they have all sizes of skeletons and just pull the heads off and hot glue or e-6000 on the new heads. You can then paint it if it needs touched up, leave as is or spray paint the whole piece a solid color.

You now have one of a kind Halloween art.

2011-09-11T20:30:00.002-05:00

We worked on the back of the store this weekend. We got the fence up but still need to find a welder but I think that will have to wait for spring. We added a grill and looking for a picnic table for people to eat outside during crops. My friend Marj gave me this awesome butterfly mural and it looks fabulous out back.

FLEA MARKET

2011-09-10T18:33:00.003-05:00

I took a half day off and went to the flea market in Venice. I love going and so do my children We even took the dog. :) I will share more finds with you as I get them unpacked.

I loved this huge megaphone. When we have birthday parties at the store we all dress up in hats and boas and walk around downtown and sing happy birthday This megaphone will be awesome for the leader of the group. It was very ugly but with a coat of spray paint and some vinyl dots it has been diva-fied.

I found this thermos and it just reminded me of fall weather. I used a cropadile through the thermos lid and tied them to the thermos with lace and added flowers.
The twins ove kettle corn and they try it everywhere we go that sells it. They say the guy at the flea market has the best.

Cake Decorating Class coming to Precious Treasures

2011-08-17T23:55:00.008-05:00

Jessica here.....

It's back! The class where you use any of your electronic cutters, be that Silhouette, Cricut, Gazelle...and decorate cakes! You do not need to own a special machine just for cake decorating, just a separate housing unit and blade. This class will be held Saturday, October 8 from 10-12:30.The thing I love about using my Cricut and Silhouette for cake decorating is that I can have a theme run throughout a party and also really impress my friends without a lot of extra effort or skills. The above cake was made for a baby shower I co-hosted. I used the New Arrival Cricut Cartridge to make that adorable baby, the print and cut feature on the Silhouette to make the diaper (but I could have used my Cricut for it), and I used the same "it's a girl" font on a banner as well. I love how I was able to tie the two things together.(the zebra cutout was made using my Silhouette, polka dots cut with frosting sheets, cake topper designed by Simply Said by Courtney)

Come learn how to do this fun and easy technique, and leave with a cake decorated by you. For $60, you get a cake provided by Alotta Brownies that you will decorate, access to a Cricut to decorate your cake, instructions on how to make and condition gumpaste, light snacks, a gumpaste sample to take home to use, frosting sheets provided by Icing Images to use in class and take home and the 2 DVD set, "Creative Designs for Children", created by Linda McClure, the inventor of this electronic cutting method. I will also demonstrate the Silhouette's "print and cut" feature, so you can see how to add amazing images to your cakes in seconds. There will also be a door prize drawing at the end of the class!

(Cake decorated entirely with Silhouette's print and cut feature)

And the best part? You can take your cake to the Nebraska vs. Ohio State game that night and impress all your friends!

Contact Amy to sign up today. Space is limited to 12, so don't miss out on this great hands on class, call today to sign up!

Jessica Remington was present when the idea of using an electronic cutter for cake decorating was "born" and it was her 6 inch Cricut that first was used to experiment with this method. She's been decorating cakes since 2007. She's trained extensively under Linda McClure, creator of this method, taking Linda's advanced classes in Natchez, MS, and has assisted in Linda's 1 day class. She lives in Omaha, Ne with her husband and 3 sons, who love getting any cake wrecks.

Hours for March**

2011-03-02T14:57:00.003-06:00

Hours will vary in March due to another surgery and physical therapy. I am making my doctor appointments on Wednesdays as that is our slowest day. So Wednesdays we will be closed. We will open an hour later each day also so I can go to physical therapy.

If you would like to volunteer at the store in exchange for store credit please stop by and discuss as at this point I am just trying to keep the store open through all of these surgeries. I hope this is all over soon as it has been a long haul.

Just ring buzzer #3 at the door just right of the stores door.

TIP/IDEA Tara's new technique to heat emboss over dry embossing

2011-01-27T19:36:00.005-06:00

Run your paper through the sizzix texturizer them ink the texture with embossing ink and powder, then heat. I love how the silver comes out as it reminds me of the old ceiling tiles.

MY NEW HOME

2011-01-12T22:16:00.003-06:00

I finally got the loft above my store and it needs a lot of work. My first project has been the bathroom as it was so nasty!!!! There was even the bottom of a flip flop glued to the wall which I found was there to cover a huge hole. Who would even think of doing that, Mom said I should have left it as it was a conversation piece. But needless to say it is gone and so is the hole. Then there was a horrid sponge painting job that they never even sponge painted any of the edges and it is dark green and white. LOL I just need to get a new sink and that room is done. Next is the kitchen.

ANTIQUE DOLL

2011-01-12T22:13:00.002-06:00

I have been on the hunt for a lifesize antique doll for the baby flower area of the store and finally found an adorable one and had to share it with you. :)

Changes for the New Year

2011-01-11T11:33:00.002-06:00

Hey, Bloggers Tara here. We at PT wanted to let you know of changes at the store this year. We are on an organizing kick. Everything is so easy to find now. Also Remington no longer works and I am back. We are working on some new projects for the store as well. I will update you on these as soon as we fine tune the details. PT would like to thank everyone for sticking with us through the hard times lately.

STILL ON THE MEND

2011-01-09T16:04:00.001-06:00

I am still alive and had another surgery but my numbers are back to what they were before the surgery again. I am in a LOT of pain and the doctors trying to decide what to do, The store is open and even open more hours as I now live above my store so you just have to ring the buzzer and I come open it. :)

Keep my leg in your prayers as I really just want to be back to work and back to normal.

GOING HOME

2010-12-18T13:46:00.002-06:00

Well I get to go home tonight for Christmas. I have to have surgery again in 2 weeks as they cannot get my leg to go straight so I will be back in rehab. It has been a tough go. I will be at the store this week most likely sitting in the back so stop by and see me as I have missed seeing all of you!

Love ya all!!!

SURGERY / STORE FOR SALE RUMOR

2010-12-03T09:20:00.005-06:00

They replaced my knee and part of the bone above it. Well Surgery was Monday the 22nd and I got to to go home at the end of the week, well I got to go to my parents but it was too much work for my mom and dad and I fell in the shower so........ I am in a nursing home. LOL You will have to add amy@ptdiva.com to your facebook account to keep up with all the excitement. It has been interesting to say the least.

Please shop the store. I am flooded with medical bills right now and we need to keep sales up. So shopping at Precious Treasures is also help save someones life :) If we can keep sales up during these surgeries we will be ab le to keep the store. I am thankful for all of our customers.

People have been asking what I am going to do with the store. It depends on sales this month. It is open and Remington, and Tara are working. Please be patient with them as they are very nervous also as they are used to having me around. I would consider selling as I have two more surgeries scheduled. If you know anyone interested let me know. This is up in the air right now.

I am in Nye Legacy Nursing Home in Fremont rm 415 if you want to stop by and say hello.
