| Craft Project: Rose Beads
|
|
By Debra Frick
|
|
These beads are made from the petals of the rose. It is a great way to save the beauties of the spring and summer. When you wear any jewelry made with these beads the heat of your skin releases the fragrance of the roses they are made from. No need for extra perfume.

| Craft Project: Easy Crocheted Butterflies
|
|
By Debra Frick
|
 These easy crocheted butterflies are easy enough for a beginner crocheter and can be used for many things. These would be wonderful for Mother's Day or a birthday. You could easily whip up a bunch of these to be used to decorate Mother's Day presents or to hang in a window or make them into napkin rings.

| Craft Project: Updating A Promotional Clock
|
|
By Debra Frick
|
 A Dog Gone Good Time (Or how to redo a Doctor's Clock). I paid a dollar for the one in the picture. I loved the blue and green together and thought I need a new clock for my office. But I am not a big fan of advertising, unless it is something cute like the Campbell's kids, so I thought, "Why not try and redo it?"

| Craft: Soft Sculpture Butterflies
|
|
By Debra Frick
|
 Imagine yourself at a yard sale and you just found the most beautiful blouse and they only want a $1.00 for it, but it is dated with those shoulder pads that they seemed to put into all expensive clothing. So you decide "what the heck, I will buy the blouse anyway and get rid of the shoulder pads." Well if you are like me, you now have a stack of shoulder pads from clothing that you have bought.

| Bartering: The Wave of the Future
|
|
By Debra Frick
|
 Well, all the economists are talking about recession and I don't really know what that big fancy word means. I do know with rising gas prices and with rising food prices that times are hard for all of us. I do know being a fan of history that bartering is something we should all think of again.

| Be a Honey Bunny

By Debra Frick

 This year, a lot of us will be shopping the thrift stores and yard sales for Bunnies to fill our Easter Baskets. There is nothing in the world like seeing a child on Easter morning hugging that sweet Easter bunny.

| Craft Project: Easy Plastic Chocolate Easter Eggs
|
|
By Debra Frick
|
 This article is in honor of my mom Patricia Churchman who, when she was alive, never let an Easter pass without going to our local chocolate shop and buying us the most beautiful chocolate eggs. They were so beautiful that we even did not want to eat them.
