RE: Cleaning a Textured Refrigerator
I use Lysol Tub and Tile cleaner in the spray can. The foaming action gets into the areas with ease! Spray from the bottom then go up for best results.

Makes cleaning the walls much easier and the house smells clean, clean, clean! Tough areas I use a inexpensive scrub brush after I let the foam sit for a few minutes. I have also used this on glass pieces that have been in storage and collected dust/dirt(like cut glass punch bowls, platters, etc). Gets right into those hard crevices.

RE: Camouflage Craft Ideas for Little Boys
Great ideas posted! How about bean bag chairs using packing peanuts as stuffing? Some of your local stores are a good source to get these free as they just throw them away.

Cut legs off below the crotch area, undue the seams from the legs and middle section, adjust and sew together. Fabric or cording of your choice put through the belt loops for the drawstring. A diaper bag can be made for the mom using this method. Just add handles made of fabric instead of cording in belt loops. ... View related article.
