| RE: Saving on Decorating for Your Wedding |
Many dollar stores have cheap wedding decorations, so make sure to check there before you go to an expensive craft store. I also often find wonderful ribbons and other decorations at thrift stores. If you have any good thrift stores in your town, start browsing them every other day for what you need.
A friend on mine is i a situation like yours. She decided to buy a few, magnificent fake flowers from a craft store. She then bought some cheap ribbon and made each single flower it's own little decoration. It's a sparse look, but still lovely and wedding-esque. Each flower is tied with a long bow and set in a vase or taped to the fence. She used the spare little flowers from the stems to decorate a plain wedding cake. Again, sparse but lovely. ...

| RE: Craft Project: Eucalyptus Spearmint Bath Salts |

Yup! As long as you only use a little food coloring, 2 drops, in the batch, it doesn't stain. Since the non-colored salt will also be mixing with the green when you pour it out, it helps dilute the color even further. ... View related article. |

| RE: Craft Project: Invigorating Bath Salts |
Essential oils can be found at health food, nature, craft, and perfume supply stores. They are a more expensive kind of scent. For a cheaper, but less powerful choice, you can use fragrant oils. They can be found at the same place as essential oils.
You want to avoid using flavor extracts meant for cooking, they aren't as strong, focus more an taste than scent, and can often contain things like sugar since they're meant for cooking. ... View related article. |

I use Amber Bock, but that's only because it's what my boyfriend drinks and I can get some flat beer easily! You want to avoid light beers, especially Coors light, Bud lite and such. You can try just using a can of Bud. It won't be quit as effective as the Amber Bock, but it will still work great. ... View related article. |

Beautiful!!! Thank you so much for adopting a cat from an animal shelter. I work at my local humane society and I get so sad! We have so many loving animals that only need a good home, and it kills me everytime I hear about someone going to a pet store to get a cat instead of coming to us. Your picture proves that an absolutly wonderful and stunning pet doesn't need to come from a show room! ... View related article. |

Almost every craft store I've ever been in has these foam doorknobs hangers for sale, pre-cut and ready to go. If not, it's very easy to take any semi-thick sheet of craft foam and cut the shape out. ... View related article. |

| RE: Reusing Frying Oil |
As long as you strain the bit food bits from the oil, everything should be fine and you can certainly re-use it.
The only problem with re-using oil is the taste factor. The oil picks up the flavor of whatever you fry in it. Sometimes it can make food taste better, and sometimes make it taste worse.
If you fried a bunch of fish and garlic in the oil, then later used the oil to fry some chocolate truffles,....your chocolate truffles will taste like fish and garlic too. ... View related article. |

| RE: Will Dog Be Traumatized When Husband Moves Out? |
I would really suggest you and the dog stay, but only if it will be reasonably comfortable. If the situation is so bad that there will be heavy stress and possible screaming/arguing, then definitly go. If things are that stressful, I would suggest leaving, but letting the dog stay.
I think of it this way, the dog may or may not understand. If it does, then it needs to see and know whats happening, and recognize its daddy is moving.
If the dog doesn't understand, then it hurts nothing to let it stay and say a goodbye to your husband. At least it will have the chance to see him walk out the front door, and not always be sitting at the bathroom or bedroom door, waiting for your husband to walk in. ... View related article. |
