Homemade Playdough

This is actually Melissa Whitley posting this recipe. However, I use this recipe from my mom to make playdough that all the kids in my sunbeam class love to play with. It's an easy recipe that literally takes minutes to make. The playdough will last a long time, especially if you put it in the fridge between uses! :)

Homemade Playdough

1 cup flour
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup water (food color added)
1/2 cup salt
2 teaspoons cream of tarter

*Heat over medium heat until mixture sticks together and forms a ball. It's ready to play with!

(Note: Cream of tarter is not absolutely necessary - it is a preservative, so it lasts longer when you use it.)

Enjoy! :)

Craft Fair for Francis

Hi Ladies! Most of you know that my sister Francis was diagnosed with a brain tumor last October and had brain surgery in November 2009. She is doing amazing now but of course has gigantic medical bills that will just keep growing. :( This is the type of tumor that she will have to watch for to grow back her whole life and she has a lot of physical therapy to do. So, we are having a craft fair to benefit her! 100% of the proceeds will go towards her medical bills! Here are the details......

Starting this Thursday, April 15th we will have 140 items for sale on this website:

Please forward this info to your family and friends through your blog, email, facebook, carrier pidgeon, whatever! :) Spread the word!

Thanks,

Lois Hale

**On a side note, a sincere, heartfelt thank you to everyone who has prayed for my sister and our entire family. We really have felt your prayers and are so grateful for them**
