Keeping the Pounds off with Miniature Silverware
Collecting miniature silverware has been a great pastime that I shared with my husband Xavier. Xavier would spend nights polishing the silver making it shine like a full moon. We traveled the country seeking new silverware. As part of our divorce settlement, I got all of our miniature silverware. I fought a hard battle trading it for our RV. I can't drive a RV anyway so the disappointment on Xavier's face at court when he heard the news was glorious.
I want to share how I came up with such a nice idea for miniature utensils, dear readers. This is a way to put your craft items to good healthy use. Keeping the pounds off can be trifling until I came up with my nice idea.
Downsize. I have changed all of my regular plates to sauce plates instead. The miniature silverware has replaced my regular set. I can eat what I want as long as everything fits on one sauce plate.
The smaller pieces of dishes has saved me a bundle on dishwashing as well. Food costs are down, too.
I became a drinker after Xavier left and bought a few shot glasses. Now readers, I am on the road to recovery and believe alcohol to lead you down the wrong path. However, the shot glasses have come in handy for all sorts of beverages. It really makes you appreciate each sip when they become your glass for milk or iced tea, my favorite.
Counting calories are a thing of the past. Elfin portion control is a nice idea that I highly recommend to you.
Now a nice craft to make out of your old regular sized plates is to paint nice landscape pictures on them and give them out as Christmas presents. People will appreciate the extra time and personal touch put on your presents.
Take care and warmest regards,
Colleen
