Instructions for a Butterfly Magnet Made from a Soda Can?
I make pins and magnets from soda cans using my Sizzix die cut machine. Attach the flat can to sticky foam (or glue it to regular craft foam and let dry). Then cut and attach a magnet or pin back to it. This site has some amazing recycled projects, including...
Always Check Postal Rates
Dont forget about the Forever stamps that came out last year. You can purchase them now for $.41 and no matter what the rates go to, you can still use the stamps (they dont have a value marked on them).
Use Latex Gloves for Messy Kitchen Tasks
Great idea! You may want to get non-latex gloves if you are making food for others. A lot of people are allergic to latex.
Use Cocktail Glasses As Serving Dishes
Great idea! I noticed that Southern Living had some recipes they served in shot glasses (shrimp cocktail and banana pudding, among others). They looked so good! Would you share your shrimp and grits recipe, please? I think even *I would like that (not a grits...

Thanks for the idea about the spoons. I may save that for the show near Christmas (its a little warm here for hot chocolate right now)! LOL Were thinking of selling bottled water, too. Found out today that we will be right across from a food vendor wagon selling...

Looking for Small, Elegant Treat Ideas?
If you make candy, get some gold paper cups to put them in. You should be able to find them at Michaels or a similar craft store. Paper lace doilies would be another idea. Molded mints or candy can be made as plain or fancy as you want. What type of treats...

Christmas Basket Food Wrapping?
Make cookies and breads ahead of time,wrap with foil and freeze them. When you get ready to put the basket together, remove the wrapping and thaw. I wrap sweet breads in clear plastic wrap and then wrap a large paper lace doily around it and tie with a red...
Purell Hand Sanitizer in Flu Season
Its great to wipe down the handle on shopping carts, too. I never thought about it until I saw a mother pick a child (with a very leaky diaper)up out of the seat and leave it. You just never know LOL Bath and Body Works and other places have the antibacterial...
Remembering to Take Your Pills
I have a double case...designed to hold two pair of glasses... that I use. One side for my sunglasses and the other for my cell phone.
