Baby Shower Gifts: Something for Mom, TooI usually make up a basket for the baby with the usual baby bath lotion and such but here is where it really gets good, I also always make up a basket for the new mom.
Dripping Wax DecorationsIt is fun and easy to take bottles, such as jelly jars, or tall bottles like coke bottles, and cover them with candle drippings of different colors. I sit them around the house, but you can actually use them for pen holders, or candle holders. Just drip a long candle onto the bottle or jar and let dry. These are fun to make (not for kids without adult supervision).

The Best Time to Cut Cattails?Getting married next Aug. I'm in charge of getting two things lined up for the big day; getting all the pheasant feathers I can get this fall and getting cattails for the arrangements.
