Use hot water in a bucket, add clorox bleach and dawn. Leave the door open over night after wiping it clean. The smell will be a thing of the past.

If it was used for a candle then dont drink from it! Use it to make more candles, or as a vase, or to keep small soaps in, etc.

How pretty! Did you adjust the colors? I have never seen teal sky before. I like sky photos, too.
Gunter (Orange Tabby)
Thanks guys. I think he is really beautiful too. Since I posted this, both my husband and I have gotten him to take treats from our hands. He was extremely cautious about it! He came inside once too, about eight feet, got scared again and darted out. We have...
Gunter (Orange Tabby)
I have to admit that the squirrels are more difficult for him to get a hold of, but he chases them away from the feeders at least. He will run up the side of a tree after them, but always jumps down at a certain point, no rodent in mouth.
Gunter (Orange Tabby)
Gunter has a self heating seat pad that we put under his sleeping bag in November. We removed the pad in May, cleaned up under the porch as well. He seems very happy now. I am glad he still hunts even though we are feeding him. He gets Purina Naturals and some...
Gunter (Orange Tabby)
This is Ken my husband, with Gunter. This is the third time Gunter has gotten this close to him. And, he took a treat from my hand just today!
Mountain Landscape
How lovely. I hope you have it mounted where you can see both the painting and the real scene. Are you going to matte and frame it? Your beautiful painting is crying out for that. What a gift your father has!
Wildlife: Oriole at the Feeder
We started getting a more varied bird population when my husband switched to a higher quality seed, plus we do quite a bit of gardening. In return, we get to see many different birds year round. This is the 1st male hummingbird arrival this year, for example...
Wildlife: Oriole at the Feeder
Dear Pennypacer, I have the oriole feeder on a shepards hook. I cut an orange in half and bore 2 holes about an inch apart, and then I put a peice of twist tie through them so that both ends are protruding on each side of the navel on the skin side. I then...

Document Historical Events with Photography
Its never to late to start. We all need to make sure our children care, and the way to do that is to teach our true history as Americans, so our children never forget the long and many roads it took to get us here. We go forward and we go backwards, taking...
Kitchen Dilema: Paint Color Advice for Cupboards and...
I like the idea of a breakfast bar and white cabinets also, but I would go for a zippier color than beige for the walls, and still keep them light. You might want to paint the ceiling a darker hue than the walls and install white crown moulding all around to...
Where Can I Buy a Small Number of Class Reunion Party Favors?
If you only need twenty, you could make them yourself. Its thoughtful and original.
Microfiber Fabric on Couch Looks Hairy?
Maybe shaving the furniture would work. Use a battery powered lint shaver, a large one. I have a small one made by Singer, and it still works great after at least 10 years. You might have to do this again and again, because the fabric will continue to shed...
Callie (Calico Cat)
How adorable she is! Is that a 6 inch pot she is napping in? 8 inch? So little, so sweet, and what a great photo! If I saw this as a poster in a store, I would buy it, LOL! Do you have any pics of Callie with her babies?
Cookie Cottages From Tin Cans
Yes, a photo would be nice so we can see what you are talking about. Thanks
Use Sanitizing Bleach Spray
The spray bottle idea is great of course, but I have found that the generic bleach is not as good as Clorox. I actually did some comparison tests of my own to make sure. I have concluded that buying generic bleach is a waste of money because it just doesnt...

Once acrylic paint gets on fabric, you cant get it off. Its permanant. Works better than dye if you want to color a shirt or something. It can actually make fabric last longer, takes less time to wear out.

How Can I Make Septic Safe Personal Bathroom Wipes?
Why is it so hard to dispose of baby wipes? I have a septic too, and when I use a baby wipe I wrap it in a plastic bag. I dont buy bags, I just save every plastic bag I get, from shopping trips, bread, paper goods, etc. The smell does not get through and its...
Unique Gift Ideas for New Boyfriend?
Yes, by all means feed him, but make sure it is something he can really pig out on. Guys like that. Do you you know what kind of food he eats? Does he eat lots of veggies, is he a meat and potatoes type, or both? If he likes spicy food, I have a really great...
Poole (American Shorthair)
Hi everyone... I posted the wrong photo as you see above... this is the one I wanted to enter. The caption reads, Goldilocks TOLD me this box was too small, but did I listen? I know its too late to change it, but I wanted to set it straight. Thanks all!

Repairing a Bleach Spot on Clothing With Permanent Ink?
If you can, use acrylic paint. You may have to mix the right color. Use a very stiff stencil brush and work it into the fabric. (Put a piece of cardboard underneath first) This kind of paint is permanent once it dries, never bleeds, never fades, and you can...
Queen Jazzy (Maine Coon)
How awful that people can be so heartless! And how wonderful that you were there for her. She is absolutly lovely, and so are you!
Advice About Dyeing Clothing?
I dont use dye. I use acrylic paint. It is much more permanent and you can get any color you want, mix whatever color you want. I thin out the paint with a little water in a small cup, and then I pour warm water into a large bucket, adding the diluted paint...
Recycled Wine Cork Board
This corkboard is a great idea! My (grown) son has a whole mess of corks, and I think I will ask him for them!
Paint Color Ideas for a Mudroom?
Heres my 2 cents. Paint the walls any light color. (I like yellow for a mudroom too) Paint the ceiling blue. I know someone who did this with yellow walls, and it looks darling. Make sure there is some yellow and blue in the fabric of your curtains. (Or whatever...

Eliminating Cat Box Odors?
Duh! I never knew you could use baking soda! I have been using Arm and Hammer litter powder for years! (It works great) I do agree scoopable litter is better and more economical.. The urine clumps and you can remove only what is used. When I have people over...

When I was in Arizona years ago, I took lots of polaroids of the sunsets, which I think are much more colorful than what we get in the northeast where I live. Your sunsets are lovely!
Reviews of GPS Units That Would Have International Capability?
I own a Garmin, so I can only tell you what mine is capable of. There is a feature that hooks it up to the satellites in space, and the GPS will download all the maps you need automatically. Go online and do research. Find out what other GPS units do and make...
Wildlife: Backyard Birds (Cardinal and Woodpecker)
Thank You everyone! The male and female cardinals will feed together on the ground sometimes, but usually the male is watching as the female eats. Perhaps he is protecting her, I dont know for sure. All I know is, I love watching birds and taking photos of...
Restoring Old Photos
Hello everyone! Thanks for the compliments. I can only respond briefly because I am extremely busy right now installing a new bathroom. My mother-in-laws wedding photo was very difficult for me. It took months of my spare time, and involved lots of painstaking...
Amanda (Bombay)
Wow! You were lucky to find her. A Bombay at a shelter! Amazing. Could you post a frontal picture of her so everyone can see how orange her eyes are? She is just beautiful!
Removing Glue from a Tie?
When I want to remove glue from a hard surface, I use lighter fluid. If you want to try this, please test the lighter fluid somewhere on the back of your tie. If the colors dont smear as you are rubbing with a piece of cloth, then I think it would be safe to...

Uses for CD Jewel Cases?
I could really use a lot of used CD cases. Hundreds! I would be willing to pay S&H if anyone just wants to get rid of them. I have a lot of movies that I burned to DVDs. I am keeping them in cake boxes right now. I need the standard size plastic ones so I can...
