Part 3 How I make Time... ( 23 MINUTE SNACK)

compliments from Sonia

It is a bitter sweet day, Part 3 will have

to wait till next Thursday at 4 PM E.S.T.I am sew sorry!

My DH is home this week on holidays,

and as much as I can work around his schedule..

he had me on his most of the time..

I think you may know what I am talking about...

lol

Sew if you are still interested in hearing

more about TIME and how to have more

ENERGY, sew you will make use of your time.

Please let me know here in comments...

23 x4 minutes Snack...

IN the meantime, here is one great snack,

that will provide you with carbs, protein and fat.

( a very good fat)

This wee bowl is 1/4 cup of almonds ( whole)

and 1 teaspoon of your favourite honey.

When you need something to take away

the hunger pains and you require energy

to do that task that may take you

further than 23 minutes....Here you go...

( oh by the way,
I am a Registered Nutritionist

and author)

Sew dip your almonds in your honey
and be ready for a fuel that will

take you from no energy to boom..

Well you will have to try it to

understand...lol

You can find many timers on amazon, Target, Walmart, kitchen stores..look for kitchen timers...

Although I can tell you, it may be in many more rooms than just your kitchen...

This is my fav timer, I know at least one lady who

now has one the same colour..Don't you just love it..

it has a great magnet that will stick to almost anything..

They are called Dulton timers...

and I know someone who got one of

these for her birthday, she is always

asking me how to boil a perfect

hard boiled egg lol

compliments from Sue..

It will be an explosive week, hope to see you there..

I think my bowls are on Tuesday ...mmmmm

I had every plan to continue this..
but unfortunately exams and planning hops
for the new year has me running out of time...

IN the meantime..see you in the NEW YEAR
( maybe) lol

my best.

Who Manages Sew "WE" Quilt? "WE DO"

Sew who is "me"? I'm Madame Samm. ( you get to my age and being known as a "Madame" it's a nice compliment)

Some would tell you I am funny, inspiring and downright creative ( and they would be sew correct lol)

I will tell you I have a great sense of humor and I am the kind of person you would love as your friend. I count my blessings every single day.

I am organized to a "T" and I develop business models. In my past career I worked in Pharmaceutical in Marketing and Sales. I Loved my career. I am now retired hence my blog is called Sew we Quilt , I am proud to say I am a Quilter! I am completely surrounded by over the top creative quilters whom I am "heart" with everyone of them!

Everything in my past has led me here, to manage all of this. I won't lie to you and tell you it is easy. Nothing ever worth doing "well" is ...but I will tell you that every moment is an utter delight...WHY ? Because you are sharing it with ME.

You, the visitors who come by regularly to check in are treasured. The comments that are left by you, well- let us just say, your words warm our hearts.

Sew many people write in asking who does all of this..?

I would SIMPLY say! "We Do!" and lot's of coffee. Sew I will be here -till I am not!
