The Tip is 'Manufacturer's sites' I recently ran out of my favorite pancake syrup. I loved the brand we had been using but when I went to the grocery store, I couldn't find it. The syrup was made in Indiana and I was living in Florida at the time. I tried unsuccessfully to find it on an internet. The manufacturer is small and their products are not readily available so I thought I would try their website. They did, in fact, have their own internet store so I ordered it directly from them. Now, I always buy their made in USA maple syrup from their website and never run out. Made in America Secrets has thousands of made in USA products offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small Made in America companies are a large contributor to our economy. In fact, according to the 2008 US Census Bureau small businesses, those employing 1 to 99 employees comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. This is equivalent to 5.8 million businesses that employee over 40 million people. Most American's are unaware of how significant small business is when compared to the total size of the US economy. This website is aware of it and that is why 99% of the businesses that advertise on Made in America Secrets are small businesses. Use this web site to for a list of products made in the US- especially since it is likely that a small US manufacturer employs someone you know- your husband, wife, children, or grandchildren.

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! |
