[Nfb-krafters-korner] Fancy Recipe TechniquesRe: ideas for abracelet

Mon Oct 25 13:49:31 UTC 2010

This is the first I ever heard of colored braille paper.  I will shair the site with my chapter leader, who helps with the braille rocks club.  They do different activities such as art, trips reading... With kids of course in braille.
Neet way to make holiday and birthday cards!

My husband and I were shopping for braille paper online recently, and found you can buy it in pink, blue, green, yellow and coral.  If anyone is interested I can get the website for you.

>> Hi Greg,
>> I love new recipes and making some myself. I always plan on fancy 
>> ways to keep them organized but rarely do much with it.
>>
>> I have saved calendars with pretty pictures and strong paper to put 
>> favorite recipes to kep in the kitchen. But they are still waiting.  
>> My Braille paper is bright pink and says something like "if your 
>> birthday is on this date or before in 1961 you can drink alcohol". 
>> Lol  Does that fall under fancy?
>> Lol
>>
>> I have been increasing my exercise. My Husband can't walk far because 
>> of his lung problems, ut he rides his scooter and I move along rather 
>> quickly behind.  Last week he lost over five pounds and I stayed the 
>> same. But really, I am doing fine.In seven weeks I have lost eight 
>> pounds. I have also enjoyed foods I love and going out to eat. Can't 
>> ask for more then this.
>> Lol
>>
>> No one mentions heir recipe boxes in the class, but I intend to take 
>> my bracelet in when I perfect it.
>>
>> I think So I guess that said, I am looking for a fancy bracelet. It 
>> is my weekend project. Thanks for the encouragement.

>> Good job Henrietta! Just remember, you may not get points for age and

>> So, be proud of your little 21 and I know from experience, you will

>> cheesecake or a pile of fresh grapes! Or, all that huge pile of 
>> popcorn for a point with a little seasoning! It works.
>>
>> Sighted people have these creative and pretty recipe boxes. Or, they
