The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them.

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! |
