Awesome Cleaner from the Dollar StoreMy neighbor told me about Awesome for cleaning vinyl siding. She really liked it, so last year, when I was in Dollar General, I picked up a 32 ounce bottle of it for $1.00. I had not used it until this week when cleaning the porch, getting the wood ready for painting and new screen wire.
Cardstock Sheep BadgeThis cute little sheep badge is made from cardstock. It's quite easy to make and a lot of fun. You can draw the eyes on if you don't have wiggle eyes and you can use a safety pin instead of a brooch back. For very young children to wear this you might not want to use a pin.

Age and Maker of a Porcelain Doll?I was handed down this porcelain doll from my nan she had it her whole life.

Now I'm scared that she'll ask about that as well.
Taking Plants from the US into Mexico?Alright, this summer my family is going to Mexico, and we always go by car (in a truck).
