  • Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs (FREE PATTERNS)

  • Turn Dollar Tree Pasta Into Snowflake Christmas Ornaments
  • Facts about snowflakes.....Snow isn't just made up of snowflakes. Snow is also made of sleet, which is created when snowflakes pass through the atmosphere and melt a little by the time they hit the ground. Each snowflake is not unique. It's a myth. Identical snowflakes have been found before and each snowflake has six sides because the molecules that make them up are hexagon-shaped. Snowflakes are not at all white. They are actually translucent, where light is reflected rather than passed through. Because of the snowflake's tiny surface, the light scatters in so many directions that it can't absorb or reflect consistently, and the color comes back as white.

  • Mason Jar Wall Sconces
  • Facts about mason jars.....Mason jars didnt make the inventor wealthy even though Mason jars can be purchased at just about any store these days and have a multitude of uses, their creator, John L. Mason, didn't make any money off of them. He patented his invention in 1858 (at the age of just 26!), but the patent expired in 1879. Since most competitor brands didn't start making Mason jars until after 1879, he didn't see any of the profit.

  • I Do.....
  • Facts about little cereal boxes.....After a 14-year absence from grocery store shelves, Kellogg Corp. said Wednesday that it is bringing back “bowl-in-the-box” packaging for its individual-sized cereal containers. Kellogg said it will use a new packaging method for its single servings of cereal products. It will again feature the little boxes with perforations that let cereal eaters pour milk right into the box and eat from the package. The new boxes will also have a new easier-to-open side tab for those who prefer to pour their cereal into a bowl.

  • Facts about the L’eggs pantyhose container.....Like the Quaker Oats can and actual egg cartons, the L’eggs containers proved to be an enduring presence in the household. Some people used them as holiday decorations, party favors, or planters; Hanes had tremendous marketing success tweaking them in different colors for holiday promotions.

  • How To Make A Dollar Tree Metal Fruit Basket Stand
  • Facts about fruit.....Apples, peaches and raspberries are all members of the rose family. Pumpkins and avocados are fruits not a vegetable. Apples float in water because they are 25% air. A half-cup of figs has as much calcium as a half-cup of milk. Green fruits help make your bones and teeth strong. Not all oranges are in fact orange.

Just The Facts Jack And A Few Giggles :)

  • Rotisserie Chickens are made to be addictive. People like to joke that these perfectly seasoned roasts are addictive—and that's not my mistake. Most rotisserie chickens are pre-seasoned in factories and then shipped to supermarkets, where they're skewered and cooked. Sometimes, they're even flavored with MSG and sugar, and "natural flavors."

  • Bulldogs Narrowly Escaped Extinction. Once bull baiting was banned in England, bulldogs were suddenly not needed. It seemed like this breed’s days were numbered, but lovers of the dog saw potential. Fanciers began to breed the dogs to have kinder and gentler demeanors. Some bulldogs were brought to Germany and the United States, where they worked as herding dogs. Others stayed in England as companions.

  • Goats were one of the first animals to be tamed by humans and were being herded 9,000 years ago.

  • The Incredibles is based on a true story. It might not seem like it, but the story behind The Incredibles took inspiration from real life. That doesn't mean that the movie's creator, Brad Bird, has a family of superheroes, but if you look beyond the super powers and fighting villains, the Parr family feels like a real family unit: they are more than just animated characters. This is because Bird took inspiration from his real life when he created the story of The Incredibles.

  • Ducks are mostly aquatic birds living in both fresh water and sea water and found on every continent except for Antarctica.

  • 😀😀😀

  • Peppers are actually fruits because they are produced from a flowering plant and contain seeds-most people think of them as vegetables. Red bell peppers are sweeter than green ones because bell peppers sweeten as they ripen.

  • Americans eat approximately 100 acres of pizza each day, or 350 slices per second.

  • Octopuses have three hearts. Two of the hearts work exclusively to move blood beyond the animal’s gills, while the third keeps circulation flowing for the organs.

  • Your Stomach Doesn't Play the Biggest Role in Digestion. The stomach begins the digestion process by churning food and breaking it down using digestive acids. This is referred to as mechanical digestion. Then, the small intestine does most of the work of digestion using enzymes and absorbing nutrients for the body to use.

  • Life With Kids.....

  • There Are 10 Million Elves Flying Around.The elf is a doll, called a scout elf, and it is sold with the book Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition. You can find the dolls, which now come in boy and girl versions and with different features, Elf on the Shelf is trademarked, although there are other variations.

  • Pugs were originally bred to be lapdogs for Chinese royalty. They lived in luxury with the emperor, his family, and members of the imperial court. They were royal and loyal companions, and were highly valued in society.
