I am the mother of 2; grandmother of 4 and great-grandmother of 10! I love to quilt, craft, especially paper crafts and play on my pc. I am semi-retired and really enjoying my extra time off after working for 40plus years!!
I don't mind sending the scraps to the dump; I just need a way of keeping them from smelling until the trash is picked up. So I came up with this solution: I will use a gallon size zip-lock bag for scraps and keep it in the freezer until trash day and will reuse the same bag until it is worn out, then recycle it.

Again I had to tell her it was OK. Guess she knew who the boss was! Would not hesitate to get another pit. ... View related article.
