Sara Lee Deli Kid Sushi 
Get the Kids Involved Instead of making lunch ahead of time, pack deli meats along with some cheese and crackers. Kids are more likely to eat what they help prepare, and they’ll have a great time stacking the ingredients to their liking during lunch time. Here is another recipe that I saw that would be a lot of fun not only to eat, but to let your kids help make. Kids Sushi! Sara Lee Deli Kid Sushi kid-sushiIngredients 2 slices Sara Lee® Fresh Ideas pre-sliced Honey Ham 2 strips Sara Lee® Swiss Cheese, thinly sliced, cut 2” x ¼” 2 slices Sara Lee® Soft and Smooth™ Made with Whole Grain White Bread 1 teaspoon ranch dressing 1 tablespoon thinly shredded carrots 2 sweet baby pickles Method Place two slices of white bread with the crusts cut off on a flat surface side-by-side. Using a rolling pin, or glass, gently flatten and fuse the bread slices together. Spread the ranch dressing over the inside middle of the flat bread slices. Place two slices of the ham on top of the ranch dressing. Place the shredded carrots and Swiss cheese on top of the ham. Place the two pickles horizontally and end-to-end at the bread edge closest to you. Starting at the bottom, roll the bread upwards to make a tight cigar-shaped roll. Using a bread knife, cut the roll into sushi-sized pieces approx one inch in length. Option: Serve on a bed of mixed field greens with chop sticks and extra ranch dressing for dipping.

A DIY, do it yourself Holiday glitter extravaganza!
We know it's far too early to be talking about Christmas... but we just love glitter so we wanted to SHARE this with you from an old Martha Stewart Living post, from December 2003...
A little sparkle transforms inexpensive toys.
Tools and Materials
Plastic deer, from a craft or toy store
Small paintbrush
White glue
Powder glitter
Bowl
Glittered Deer How-To
1. Hold a toy deer by one leg; use a paintbrush to coat head, body, and other three legs with a thin, even layer of white glue.
2. Spoon glitter onto deer; gently shake excess into bowl. Let dry.
3. Repeat process on last leg; touch up bare spots by dabbing them with glue and spooning on more glitter.

Do you sell handamde fine art or Crafts – do you have a hobby or craft suppliy business?
What you want is to become an entrepreneur. To be your own boss in these efforts…Even if it’s only part-time. The only real identifier on that question is whether or not your run your business like a business. Are you in it for the profit? Or do you just enjoy creating your crafts?
Many makers and crafters run successful online businesses. Website photo galleries show a wide variety of crafts; and e-commerce makes purchasing easy. The trick is to let others know that you and your crafts exist.
A wonderful, untapped method to promote your website is by the use of article marketing. Obviously you have some talent else you would not have the ability to create such beautiful pieces. Share your expertise with others, and in return you’ll realize increased traffic to your website.
Articles provide information; they don’t sell. You’ll be able to promote yourself as an expert in the craft field, which will in turn,bring you more customers. Just remember that article marketing is about informing, not advertising. The increased business is just a nice bonus of the articles.
But what could you write about, right? Pause for a moment and think about what you know, or what you didn’t always know, but because of what you learned you are now able to produce better, faster, prettier crafts?
Does it matter what kind of yarn you use? Write about the selection process. Will just any old sewing machine do? Or would other models make your life easier? Perhaps you’re an expert on craft show displays. Write about it.
Is there some gadget that makes creating your crafts so much easier? Others would like to hear about it. Write about the intrinsic value that goes along with gifting a gift that was produced with your own hands – out of love. Write about family heirlooms. Write about creating memories that will last for decades to come.
You have something valuable to say – and others want to hear it!
