YUP Unlike Elvis  that  has left the building Mr Crabby Pants  has one more show  at least  for today anyway( By the way did you notice my Mr Crabby Pants  photo gallery on the left side of my blog  Please check out him and his  Crabby family  out  when you have a minute or 2  today) .. I made  these for  2 upcoming birthday boys  I really  do believe  Cool Caribbean  looks great with any other color  especially here with creamy caramel .. I think the card   is pretty straight  forward  in what I used ..I had to use my  cuttle bug "HAPPY" embossing envelope  and then  attached the  caramel Gingham  ribbon with staples ..  I colored in Mr crabby with  my  cool Caribbean reinker  & my blender pen ( just squeezed some reinker in the ink pad lid  and picked up with my blender pen ) along with my Creamy caramel Marker .. I really  don’t think nothing of adding  glitter even to my   birthday cards  for  Guys  and this  card is no  different  since I added a touch of glitter to the  little  flowers on the  Happy embossing  envelope .  Thank you all for  emailing me and posting yesterday  WOWZIE!! you all are sooo sweet .. I have had alot of you ask me   when  can you send cards  to me for hubby ..  All I can say  right now is Stay tuned for a BIG announcement.. (wink! wink! to  you know who out in Blogger land )

The last  few days I  think I have been  detoxifying  you see I have been  taking KOMBUCHA  yup  the Home made  kind  and  this stuff is  really helpful for  so many things..( I am taking it to help with my RA  & among other things) I have only been taking 2 Oz’s  every day for the last 3 or so weeks  and  Just recently I have this  rash of sorts on my  chest  up by my neck also .. OH boy it itches  so This means it really working ..  I received a FREE Kombucha scooby / mushroom  even thought its really not a "Mushroom "  from  a teacher at my daughters  school  she purchases her  Scooby at a Organic  farm  all you need is

3 quarts of  filtered /distilled water

1 cup of Organic sugar

4-6 Organic green tea bags

1/2 cup of  Kombucha from previous  culture

and one  kombucha mushroom

Boil  water  turn off right before it reaches  a rapid  boil and  stir in sugar and dissolve  sugar in water ..  then  add tea bags  and let it sit  for  at least 3-4 hours at room temp until water is cool . Then  take tea bags out and throw away the tea bags  Pour liquid into a 4 quart or larger  glass bowl  and add your 1/2 cup of  Kombucha  culture   placing your mushroom at the top of  liquid  cover with  a  dish towel and place in a  warm dark place( I use my closet ) for 7-10 days  or longer depending on how  you like it .. the longer it  ferments  the stonger the taste .. It actually tastes  like apple cider.  once  you are done   between 7-10 days  strain the kombucha  into a  glass  canning jar  and I put it in the  refrigerator  making sure to put your scooby in another glass container  with 1/2  cup of  your  mixture  for your next batch ..  you can cut your scooby and share it with   someone to make their own batch .. The really cool thing about  Kombucha it that  your scooby will produce  a baby   scooby so you will never   have to purchase a new scooby  and yes you can cut or tear your scooby  to share  or to get 2 batches going at the same time.  start drinking your Kombucha  in small amounts MY mom noticed when she drink to much at first your body cant not handle the detoxing  that quickly  and you will feel a headache , stomach  will be queasy  and so on so start out with 2 ozs 1st and build up to 4 ozs a day  thats it ..   I have a batch ready  to  strain today so I will take a photo of  what mine looks like  and show you later OH yes 1 more thing do NOT drink your Kombucha   to late in the afternoon  since it will give you alot of energy you may have trouble   getting to sleep  if taken to late in the day .I usually  take mine  in the morning  time ..  Just something  I thought I would share with you  today .. OH you can purchase  organic  sugar  and Organic Green tea at your locate whole foods store , I have even found it at a vitamin shop .. If you have any questions please ask me I don’t claim to know it all Just know  what it does for me  and all the benefits   Kombucha has I thought it may help someone  like myself out there in blogger land .. 

Have a  Fabulous  Saturday . Daughter is off all this  upcoming week for  Spring Break  so I may be sleeping in a bit  BUT not to late KWIM? so don’t worry if my post isn’t up before 6:00am

Until later …Happy Stampin!
