The Tip is 'Where They're Proud' I recently saw an ad in our local newspaper for a big box home improvement store. Their newspaper ad had USA made products and American flags all over it. Several weeks later, I checked the ad again and sure enough they were still advertising their American made products. It was obvious they are proud to carry products Made in America. Their competitors made no mention of things Made in America. I have been to this store and asked what products are made in the USA? A clerk told me they primarily carry imports. Obviously they are not proud. I now realize you can buy many Made in the USA building supplies, including tools Made in USA and appliances Made in USA., in stores that are proud to carry brands Made in the USA. Here is another example of a store proudly carrying products Made in the USA. I was shopping for men's shoes in a local department store when I tried on three different pairs of shoes. I couldn't decide which pair I wanted so I went out on a limb and asked the clerk, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman said "yes they are" so I asked, "Do you have any Made in America shoes like these?". To my surprise he said, with GREAT PRIDE, "yes sir, we have a whole line of Made In USA shoes". He brought me the same color and style with the Made in USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty, and were more comfortable. Looking for companies that are PROUD is simple and can have a great impact on our country. I encourage you to try this some time- just ask. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that all of us will benefit from. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Little Dribble Baby Babies are such a delight and they can bring a flood of happiness anytime, anywhere and in any given situation.

Here's a true story of what began as fun, made its way toward necessity and has now become my passion. Thinking back around my 10th year, I remember my first sewing project - making a pair of shorts on my own. I had made up my mind, and there was no stopping me - all without a pattern to follow! When my practical Mom had objections, Dad quickly stepped in and said, Oh, let her do this, Liz. It's a good experience for her. G-ma holding 3-day old Jenna Grandma and 3-day old, Jenna Needless to say, I couldn't fit into my new shorts because I had made all the wrong cuts. It was a good sewing lesson, and by the time I reached 8th grade, my home economics teacher entered one of my outfits in a sewing competition, which won a prize ribbon. When our children began arriving, I sewed outfits for them and decorated their nurseries with hand sewn items, and we began what I call the evolution of the baby bib. I started making puffy bibs with a thick polyfiber between the layers. Back then, the designs on the front were hand-appliqued through the entire thickness, thus making them have a puffy appearance, and back then, the bibs were tied around baby's neck to keep the bib attached. Today, my baby bibs are larger in size, are machine appliqued and now we use easy attachments to keep the baby bib attached. It still gives me special delight to see moms using our products. I love what I do and continue my passion, but now, I follow a pattern - of my own design. Diane Martin For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16,17 He loves you! |
