Introducing LANYARD365

lanyard365

lanyard365
It's a dilemma. Lanyards are boring! They are basically "clingers", hanging around your neck all day and they never let you forget they're there catching on everything you come close to. Worst part about lanyards is you have to have them. You'll get locked out of the building without your badge hanging at the end of your lanyard or worse, NEW SECURITY GUARD CHECKING EVERYONE'S BADGE FOR ID! Security is awesome it's just the lanyard/badge thing that's annoying.

Cheer up! Look over the horizon! Lanyard 365 is THE solution for the once boring neck fashion. We have a "fashion for every season". You can change your lanyard 365 days a year and match every article of clothing you own. These lanyards are hand-crafted from 100% cotton fabric, soft and flexible. Measures approx. 18 inches from neck to lanyard clip, thin 1" wide for easy wear and care, machine washable and iron as required. Lanyards come with a swivel clip, key ring and plastic snap holder. Best part about our lanyards is the affordable PRICE! The other big advantage is the 100% cotton fabric lays smoothly and positively clings to your clothing keeping your lanyard out of your way.

Fun designs such as chevrons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, "Puzzled" for autism awareness, "Black Tie" black and white chevron, The Little Mermaid, Cat in the Hat and many more. New designs every month and especially near holidays and season changes. Look for your favorite college team. Order yours online today at LANYARD365 or you can simply browse our huge selection of quality handsewn lanyards. We actually prefer you buy!

We welcome suggestions too! You want a lanyard designed, we'll try our best to create what you are looking for. If you are not fully satisfied with your lanyard we offer a 100% money back satisfaction guarantee. We believe you'll love them! We live for random comments and irrational feedback too.

american-made
Our products are proudly made in the U.S.A.

Sending lanyard love,

Christ Alone

praise-hymn
In Christ Alone is probably the most powerful, stirring hymn I've ever heard. Currently, my favorite gospel song. When I need encouragement I sing it or simply recite the words to soothe my being. The song was written in 2001 by Keith Getty (Northern Ireland) and Stuart Townsend (England). I say BRAVO and thanks guys! I hope you find joy in reading it today or listening to a nice version. This video is performed by the writer Getty and his wife.

"In Christ Alone"

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
In Christ Alone,
Tammy

Common Burn Remedies you have at Home

E.T.-the-movie
Remember this guy? My finger was "lit up" after I burnt it with a hot glue gun. How many of you have felt that pain? Downright awful plus it made me spit out a few little ugly words!!!

My friends on Facebook came to my rescue with tons of common burn remedies you probably have on-hand. You may find them in your cabinet, your fridge, a pot of dirt or even in your toolbox. These are too handy not to share. Some of these may be new to you, they were to me!

Disclaimer (This is not medical advice. For entertainment purposes only.)

household-burn-remedy


The first 7 are mustard, ice, butter, mayonnaise, toothpaste, ice water and aloe vera plant. To use the aloe vera plant, break a stalk off the plant and soothing cooling goodness oozes out the stalk. Apply as often as you like. Be sure to put the stalk remains in an airtight plastic baggie to keep from drying out.

 My 3 personal favorites are:


1. Fire Talk. A guy told me that his dad used to "talk" the fire out of a burn and it worked every time. Well, I did a little talking but might not be the right kind. ;) 
2. Vicodin. Now I ask, "What won't Vicodin make feel better?"
3. Hatchet. I think the only way this will cure a burn is by creating worse and more distracting pain. What do you think?

Please leave me a comment with your burn remedies you know are tried and true or you've just heard about. Sometimes a bit of common knowledge solves a complicated problem.

Slathering on some kitchen liquids,
