Why won't my printer print?
Sybil, If you still cant get it to print after the re-boots, check all connections to the printer making sure they are still all plugged in. Also, make sure they are not covered in dust as that can make a bad connection as well. If dusty remove the connection...
Homemade Wedding Favors?
I like bird seed netted throws for the bride and groom as they are leaving. Bird seed is much better for the birds who help with making your clean up easy. Instead of the tradition rice that is thrown. I think a lot of churches require you use bird seed instead...
What is the old fashioned name for a chocolate cookie crust?

Make Your Own Soil Testing Kit
Im curious myself how you are able to make your own because I have only found kits that you can buy. If you were to make one yourself it seems like it would be a lot of work. The kit prices vary and I bet the results do as well. Looking foward to some feedback...

Water Stain on Satin Shoes?

Growing: Pot Marigold
I grow them in pots too but love to have them in my garden as well. Mine are still going stong even after all the rain and cold weather we have had recently. ~Wendola~
Growing: Pot Marigold

Orange Oil For Cleaning Furniture
I agree a little goes a long way. I cring when I see people spray or dump oil directly onto their wood instead of placing the cleaning agent onto the rag/towel.. You should never put the oil directly on wood as it could damage the item. ~Wendola~
Cleaning Window Screens?
A simple cloth with dish soap and water rung out... Use the cloth on the screen... wiping it down should do the trick. ~Wendola~
Moist Oatmeal Cookies
Oatmeal cookies (yum!) I have found using the bakers raisins and gold raisins make the cookies taste fab. ~Wendola~

Glad I was able to help others. I use to do the old copy and paste to a word doc before I found out how to export it. I have found in my PC travels if all else fails.. try opening up the Help menu, (contents/index) within the program and doing a search using...
Rooting a Geranium?
-- Mine didnt grow; they all died. What did I do wrong? ---------- Michelle, I dont think you did anything wrong. You might have brought them out to soon and frost got them. Where do you live? Or you may have not given them enough water. ~Wendola~
Paper Towels in the Garage
Or the next time you decide to pitch old clothing in the trash or give it to goodwill just mop up a spill with it instead. You can always wash the rags and use them again if you use mechinacs hand cleaner to wash them. ~Wendola~

Hi Shawn, I have a Lilac bush that WAS half dead. I cut off the dead parts along with giving some plant food after the operation. It has been three years now and the tree is fully back to life....lots of new growth each year. Did you have problems with bugs...
Keeping a Master Grocery List on the Computer
Palm has come up with the same idea and put it in PDA format. I have been using it for years and it works out great. It is an add-on called Handmark with lots of tools. ~Wendola~
Lickity Split Spoons
If you have a chocolate shop you can buy chocolate discs. You can just place them in the microwave at 50% heat for a min. I have made these for years as Xmas gifts. Its nice to throw in with a coffee mug. They taste great in coffee. I make mine with white chocolate...
Lickity Split Spoons
I have found the discs fairly cheap in 1 lb bags at a craft store.. If, you wait until this time of year they go on sale. The discs last for quiet awhile before they go bad. You just have to shop around a little bit to find them at a good price. ~Wendola~
Growing Sunflowers in Pots
I agree that sunflowers brighten any flower bed. I grow them every year in my garden. I think that the Velvet Queens are beautiful. Here is a sample of one of mine.
