Train Birthday Party Decorations?
You could cover shoeboxes, or other boxes, with wrapping paper. Cut out black circles for wheels. Line the boxes up like a train, connected with strips of black paper, and use them to hold party favors or snacks. You could make a track for your train just by...
Uses for Newspaper?
I use them to line my ferrets cage, which is a big 6 x 6 foot dog run. Believe me, they use a lot of newpspaper!
Kitkat
Kitkat looks like a big, healthy girl. She reminds me of a cat I used to have, Mercedes, who lived to be 20! May your cat live a long, healthy life, too! Mom2fur
Acid Reflux Remedies?
I was sick for quite a long time before a doctor finally did an endoscopy and found tears in my stomach. This isnt exactly acid reflux, but I know that the medicine I take, Aciphex, is for that purpose. I actually started with Protonox, but it is very expensive...
Home Organizing Tips?
Two of my favorite tv shows are Mission:Organization and Clean Sweep. Both are full of wonderful ideas. You dont have to buy the fancy-schmancy organizing stuff, but you can get some great ideas. Do you have shoeboxes? Theyre boring--but if you cover them with...
School Fundraiser Ideas for Students?
In our school, which is one of many John Glenn High Schools across America, we have a contest called Mr. Glenn. Its a sort of mock beauty contest, but for guys. Its played for fun and brings in a good crowd every year.
Tie Day Ideas?
Cant think of any tie games offhand, but you could try looking up Fathers Day for some game ideas. After all, people are always giving their fathers ties!
Shopping with Coupons
A good idea is to use a coupon with a BOGO sale--that way, each item is much less than half price. Try to combine coupons with sales. If you can, buy more than one of non-perishable things you use a lot when they are on sale. That way, if you run out, you arent...
Miles in a Basket
Miles is some kitty cat! Hes so pretty you should have someone paint a picture of him. He actually looks like a painting in this photo!
Searching for Sweepstakes and Contests
This is a great idea. I entered the Scott Instant Win contest and I won a photo album. Its really cool--they actually print your photos in a bound book. You design the pages yourself. Value is $29.99 and I got it for free--and on my first try! Ive been trying...
Playing with your Puppy
Not only that, but if you have a dog youll need to groom--like a poodle or a shih tzu--take her to the groomers as a little puppy, just to say hi, and several times again before you take her for a real grooming session. This will she will be used to the groomer...

Im sorry your poor doggie was so sick, and Im glad to see a change of diet is helping her. She looks like a sweetie. Mom2fur
Saran Wrap Absorbent Sheets?
I wonder if you mean Saran Wrap Disposable Cutting sheets. I have used them, but not for a while. They worked pretty well. Another idea, which is much cheaper, is to take a paper towel and fold it until you have a strip about an inch wide. (You could even start...
Other People's Influence
So many people are sheep that I get exactly what you mean. Just because some politician or actor says something, doesnt mean its right, or even true! Stop and think! Then again, if you know someone to be good, kind and intelligent, then follow that persons...
Not Buying Scratch Tickets Helps Pay Off Debts
Another thing to not buy is magazines or candy. Imagine how much that money would add up!
Organizing an Office?
One thing I learned to do for my home office, which might work for your work office, is to color code your files. In my case, my taxes are in purple folders, insurance in green, car information in blue, as an example. Perhaps you can adapt this to your own...
Smiling Littleman
I love him! Hes just about the funniest thing Ive seen today! In fact...he IS the funniest thing Ive seen in a long time! Rub his belly for me! :)Mom2fur
Replicating a Dress?
One thing would be to take the dress apart and use the pieces to make new pattern pieces, but since it is a favorite, I doubt youd want to do that, LOL! IF you did, though, iron the pieces and trace around them to make the pattern. Im assuming you have some...
Solo Cup Doll Lamp with Instructions
This is wonderful! Id also like to know how you did it! :)Mom2fur
Hair Product Stain on Coach Bag?
Oh, Im cringing to think of this! What a shame. I think your best bet is to take it to a dry cleaner and tell them exactly what the stain is. They clean suede and leather coats--so why not your handbag? It is certainly worth a try! Good luck! Mom2fur
Is this a bowmaker?
What I think you have there is a pom-pom maker! Take some yarn and hook the end of it through the 12 oclock slit with a bit of a tail hanging down the back. Cross over to 6 oclock, and loop back around to 1 oclock Now go from 1 to 7. Continue around the clock...
Nibler (Ferret)
I never realized you could get a ferret via Freecycle, LOL! Hes just darling. I have four of my own, and I know how loveable and funny they are.
Recipe for Rhubarb and Walnuts on Bisquick Base?
If you go to Bettycrocker.com, type rhubarb in the recipe search box. There is something there called Rhubarb Strawberry Conserve. Its a sort of jam, I think, and it also has walnuts in it. You serve it over warm Bisquick biscuits.
Productive Ways to Exercise
I keep a two-pound weight next to the computer. Whenever Im waiting for something to open, or while Im reading a long e-mail or article, I pick up the weights and do at least 20 reps. Several times a day, and it adds up!
Leah with Sonny, Cher (Pomeranians), Leroy...
Leah is a cutie pie. I love all your animals, but since I have four ferrets, I guess I love Leroy Brown the best!
Theodore and Paddington (Ferrets)
I love your ferrets. I have four of my own, and they really are the sweetest things!
Mini-Muffin Pan For Drying Easter Eggs
This is a great idea! Im going to definitely use it this year!
Saving Money Printer Ink Cartridges?
When the ink cartridge starts to fade, take it out and give it a little shake. You can get quite a few more pages out of it. Also, dont forget to choose Fast Draft for printing things that dont have to look excellent--shopping lists, for example.
Where's Erma Bombeck When We Need Her? Uses For Unmatched Socks.
If you have kitty cats, you can put catnip down inside the toe and tie a knot in the sock. You might have to cut off and discard the excess. I buy bulk catnip and make these and it is SO much cheaper than ready-made cat toys. And the socks make my cats nutty...
Can't Do Without Appliances?
I love my KitchenAid stand mixer. It was a Dream gift a few years back from my husband (Im the type who prefers kitchen toys to jewelry) and I use it several times a week. I have some of the attachments, but I like the meat grinder and cheese grater the best...
Foodsaver Uses
Im a little late posting since I see the post from Springmaid5 is from over a year ago. But...please be careful about storing keepsakes made of paper in plastic. You want to be sure the plastic is archival or acid-free, or it will yellow and wear out your precious...
