RE: Craft: Beaded Cross
Here is a pattern:
http://3dbeading.com/guest_patterns/cross/1.shtml

I have made these before and you can adjust the height/length of them by how tight/close you have the beads. Another option is to string them on fine wire. I used aurora borealis crystals from a vintage necklace and that is pretty! ... View related article.

RE: Cell Phone for Emergency Flashlight
We also discovered this tip last summer when we were on our way to the Relay for Life. We parked in a neighborhood that we weren't familiar with, it was dark and we couldn't find our way! Luckily my daughter had her cellphone with her, she flipped it open and we were able to see enough to get to where we wanted to go! I am glad you are sharing this *very cool* tip with others! ...

RE: Crocs Shrink in the Sun!
I forgot to mention, when you do place your Crocs out in the sun to shrink, keep checking on their "progress" day by day. It seems the longer they are out there, the smaller they get. You want to make sure to get the right size! :o) ... View related article.

RE: Mock Ice Cream Sandwich
Try using real whipping cream (whipped and sweetened), on the chocolate graham crackers too! You could even flavor the whipping cream with coffee or some of the other syrups they use for coffees and such. ... View related article.

RE: Keeping Track of Email Coupons
I love it! Thank you for your tip. It seems I have so many online coupons/offers and don't know how to keep track of them! ... View related article.

RE: Armour Etch Left Film on Glasses
It does sound like the "film" is where the AE was, that is now etched. If that is the case, there is no removing it.
*Be very careful when mixing other chemicals with the Armour Etch.* I, personally, wouldn't do it. If the etching cream dries I would try first to remove it with a razor blade. Also, don't let the etching cream make contact with metals, as it does stain the metal, forever. ... View related article.

RE: Places of Interest Near Lake Michigan
Check out www.michigan.org There is a ton of travel information there and be sure to watch the videos/commercials that Michigan's own Tim (Tool Time Taylor)Allen narrates! YES! Michigan is this beautiful! (I absolutely *love* these video clips!)
Lots of beautiful dunes, wineries, antique shops, are here for you to discover!
In South Haven, I hear they have fireworks on the 4th of July that you can watch on the beach. While there, eat at Clementine's.
If you are into art, check out Saugatuck. You can partake in a dune ride or a cruise on the Kalamazoo River.
Holland not only has beautiful beaches (check out Tunnel Park too), but has the windmill, a nice downtown area (with a Ben & Jerry's ice cream store) plus a whole lot more!
Grand Haven has it's own beautiful beach, but also has a musical fountain.
All of these locations are rich with antique shops.

RE: Graduation Gift Ideas
You could give a post card good for a batch of homemade goodies.

Get (or make your own) blank post card(s). On one side, you can draw a picture of cookies and include information that the post card is good for a batch of their favorite homemade cookies/brownies to be sent to him/her. Also include a line for the recipient to include his/hers favorite kind of homemade cookie. On the reverse side of the post card, in the "To" field, write your name and address, and place the correct amount of postage on it. Then the recipient fills out the post card and puts it in the mailbox. The rest is up to you!

I use this gift often for those hard to buy for friends. I generally will give 3 post cards as the gift.
Be aware that postage rates go up next week.

Also, if you are sending baked goods in the mail, make sure to send them out asap after making them, and send them Priority Mail to get there fast to arrive fresh. Pack them with care, with adequate cushion and so they can't move around.

Everyone loves a batch of their favorite homemade cookies! ... View related article.
