My gift to you, fellow SITStahs is this e-book I wrote and have offered on the old pre-Blogger Creative Handz website. I've been told that this book has helped a lot of people on very limited budgets who want to decorate their homes and still have money left over to enjoy the Holidays with family and friends. So, I wanted to share it with you in the hopes that it will help a lot of you in these difficult economic times have a great Holiday season!
With clear instructions and step-by-step pictures, these crafts can be done by you, alone, or as a family project. There's something for everyone! It's a true e-book with links to click to whatever chapter you want, go back and forth, or even print out instructions. I hope you will not only enjoy making some of the crafts but that you will add your own touches, as well. Inside, you will find how to do all the following:
Introduction and Preface on Using a Theme[IMPORTANT} Because Blogger won't let me upload an e-book, if you want your FREE copy, simply let me know in your comment below and be sure to leave an e-mail address that I can use to send you the book. I do not collect emails or share/trade with anyone. This is just the easiest way to make sure you will get your copy in time. (P.S. The ebook is about 6M to download and the .pdf is about 2M, but not as flexible as the e-book. Let me know which one you prefer.)

Oooh, I can't leave without just a little more on solar cooking -- My recipes are a mixture of original, gourmet, quick fix, slow cooking, anything that you would want to prepare for your own family, to show that there are very few limitations in using a solar oven. I wrote my cookbook, "A Month of SUNdays - Solar Cooking at Home," to specifically show how easy it is to adapt your own cooking habits to solar cooking.
What can you cook in a solar oven? Quite frankly, anything you want to, which is the fast answer; but I submitted and won a cooking contest with this solar recipe Solar Cooked Coconut Nutmeg Mahi Mahi is Great - Hot or Cold that I hope you'll enjoy.
How does solar cooking save energy? -- Check out this posting Energy Bill Shows Solar Drop meant to show folks how far my electric bill dropped when I started solar cooking more often in the spring.
Need to feel good after people diss your cooking? I wrote An Honest Opinion is a Matter of Taste just so you won't lose your nerve, if you're new to cooking. Here's hoping it will lift your spirits.
I hope you'll take a peek at my other posts to discover all the great meals you can make with a solar oven while saving money, and come back, often. Thank you, SITStahs and EVERYONE, for your visit and have a great Holiday!
