Have your HOT lids ready. Using HEAVY-DUTY MITTS (the jars ARE
HOT!)
Take one jar at a time from the oven and place a lid on, then the ring.
Tightly screw on lids--do it FAST because the lid gets REAL hot!
Allow
jars to cool on your countertop.
Once the jars are cool, decorate with round pieces of cloth. Unscrew
the
ring (the lid should be sealed by now) and place a few cotton balls or
a
wad of batting on top of the lid (makes it poof-y on top), then a piece
of cloth (about 3" larger than the lid) on top and screw the
ring back on.
This cake is delightful with its lemony flavor and the added crunch of
poppy seeds.

In order to assist you during this most difficult fortnight prior to the
Big Event, and having experienced the grievous effects of this sort of
*** in the past, I enclose the following aids:
1. One pound of $1,000 bills. When the wedding is through and the
bills
arrive, you will need every last one! (Unfortunately, these were not
real.)
2. Receipt book--There are 32 receipts in the book. I can assure you
that these will not be enough, but it's a start. Good luck!
3. Aspirin. This may look like a big bottle, but no bottle could be big
enough.
4. Post-its. Your wife and daughter will come up with so many ideas,
suggestions, demands, orders, etc., that you'll use up this book of 100
post-its by tomorrow afternoon.
5. Kleenex. No, these aren't for the moment when you hand your
daughter
over to the groom. They are to absorb your tears as the money flows
out
the door.
6. Imodium AD--It's true--you aren't just losing a daughter. You are
Novelty Recipes
www.tracyreneestreasures.com
also losing your money, sleep, patience, golf game, and more.
7. Olives. Martinis will help get you through.
8. Matches. When the arguments and discussions about the
reception,
flowers, dinner, wine, hard liqueur, band, etc., become overwhelming,
you have my permission to "torch the hall."
9. Ear Plugs. To help you retain your sanity.
10. A "Show Me The Money" desk plaque. Yes, it's just a plaque to set
on
your desk, but it sends the right message!
Do your best to hang in! Time flies when you're having fun!

Giggle Jars
Use standard "wide mouth" baby food jars for best results. The juice
jars just don't look quite right.
With the lid on the jar, glue two large or three small cotton balls to
the lid of the jar. Then run a bead of tacky glue around the edge of the
lid. Next cover with a 4 to 6 inch square of some sort of pretty cloth.
Hold in place with a rubber band until glue is set - about 15 to 20
minutes (dry is better). Before the glue is set, kinda slide the cloth
around to "even out" the folds and pleats. Take lid off the jar and
using scissors, trim the cloth flush with the bottom edge of the lid.
Remove the rubber band and trim the edge of the lid with lace, or rick
rack, or narrow ribbon, etc.
You should now have a jar with the lid looking kinda like an
under-stuffed pin-cushion.
Print up the following sayings onto a sheet of card stock..or business
card. . Punch a hole in one corner. Tie a short piece of ribbon to each
tag. Have the girls take the lid off a jar hold it close to her mouth
and "giggle" into each jar. Then quickly replace the lid, pinching the
tags ribbon in the jar.
Poem
You say this jar is empty,
Well take another look!
This jar is filled with giggles,
In every little nook.
I put them there for you to save,
For when your life seems low.
So open up when times are sad,
And let my giggles flow.

Magic Snowflakes
This is sized to go on the baseball card protection sleeve little bags.
I put white confetti, Mylar snowflakes, and some white glitter in the

Here is the verse:
We looked out our window and to our surprise,
there were shiny tiny snowflakes dancing before our eyes.
My sis and I got our coats and bundled up tight,
then we ran outside right into the night.
We stood there in awe wondering what to do
as the amount of snow just grew and grew.
We realized the magic right before our eyes,
each snowflake that fell was a wish from the skies.
We've gathered some snowflakes just for you,

HUGS and KISSES,
Happy Mother's Day. I love you GOOD & PLENTY. Your SUGAR

calm, and can never have BUTTERFINGERS.

truly LIFESAVERS and deserve a big HUG, and a SWEET ESCAPE
only $100 GRAND the IRS can't take away. Now isn't that an ALMOND
JOY?

ALMOND JOY to be your student and your help has MINT a lot to me.
