Lavender and Mt. Hood
The chair was a prop...I never get used to seeing Mt Hood and its majesty. In the car driving to Hood River, you have Mt Hood in front and Mt Adams in the side mirror! OR has it all - mountains, desert, the coast, the Columbia Gorge -- you wonder what Lewis...

Use Credit Cards for All Purchases and Earn Cash Back
We do the same thing however, our card of choice earns airline miles...travel is important to us.. The only thing that is problematic about this is that many people are so far in credit card debt that they may never recover -- plus I always insure what my interest...
Uses for Recycled Glass Jars
I love jars but am not much of a crafter -- whenever I paint or have painting done -- I always put the leftover paint w/ the color/make/date. I use a q-tip for minor touchups & a foam brush for largers ones. I also use jars to start cuttings for friends - pass...
Good Plants for an Apartment?
I like tropical jasmines (I get mine on ebay or the grocery store in spring) -- they are easy & bloom throughout the winter -- if you have a southern window, I highly recommend trying an orchid -- they grow in bark, need minimal care & the flowers last forever...
Covering a Roll-up Shade?
I would go w/ the HGTV project - rubber cement can make for an unsmooth surface which wille be important for this project plus my limited experience w/ rubber cement is that it doesnt adhere as well as other glues...jmho..cj in camas, wa
Elizabeth Arden Texturizing Peel?
A texturizing peel is different from a microderm abraser...the abraser uses a pumice base cream & of course the bristles..the ones sold dont go down too deep but I love them. I steer away from peels unless done by a dermatologists -- tried one (not the one...
AOL Email Reviews?
AOL has just had to pay mega bucks to consumers..though the first on the interwave -- they are the WORST -- nothing is free w/ them..I was doubled billed, spent half my time speaking to people in India who were polite but had no empowerment, their customer...
Sunflowers For My Wedding?
You also might check w/ a florist...they import so many flowers now...just use the sunflower as the center & build around it w/ greenery..ivy, vinca...I dont think you can time sunflowers -- mine are never as pretty as those at our local farmers market..cj
Making Rock Planters?
Hypertufa....great fun & beautiful planters -- I usually line my form w/ plastic for easy removal when it sets -- then I drill the holes and then I sit out to season for a month of rain (we get plenty in the PacNW)...I also take large black planters, put it...
Saving Money on Tea
My fav is Tazo Passion teas - somewhat spendy but very strong. When I see tea on sale, I buy it -- I am still drinking a Celestial Christmas tea and its mid-summer here. During the dreary winter days, hot tea hits the spot & I live one ice tea in summer..I...
Frugal Weight Loss?
One of my favorite treats is Laughing Cow soft cheese..very low in calories and excellent on a sandwich or rye cracker. I also highly recommend Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Hotdogs (50 calories ea). I drink a lot of water, my dessert is usually fruit or a Dreyers...
Coffee Grounds and Egg Shells
I would be prudent w/ grounds and egg shells...they can cause mold, fungus and attract pests...I do amend my potting soil w a 10/10/10 fertilizer (I always have a huge covered contained in my garage) & once planted, their first watering is with Thrive -- I...
