I grew mint at my last house and OH MY GOODNESS is it invasive!! It has a tubers root system which means it spreads like wildfire... But I really did love the way it smelled and tasted... Good Luck! ... View related article.

Here's an article I wrote for "DotComWomen" website that I thought might be helpful to you...
Getting Started On Your Frugal Scrapbook Photos:
Go through your photos your old photo albums, shoe boxes, or from your digital pictures stored on your PC. Separate your photos into smaller categories such as year, special events, individual children, holidays, vacations, birthdays, etc. Pick your best photos. If you like, choose a theme. Choose 4 to 8 of the best shots. Choosing a focal point. From the 4-8 best photos, pick your absolute favorite as a focal photo. Arrange the photos on a page. Don't make everything symmetrical. It's okay to tilt the photos and overlap a little. This adds interest to the page
Layout:
Choose a theme for your pages, such as birthday, season, wedding etc... Its best to start with a solid background, then build on top of that. Choose a color scheme of 2-3 prominent colors from the focal photo to use as a color scheme for your layout. Choose a coordinating (I like to call) back-drop for your picture(s). Use the decorative scissors to trim the sides if the back-drop.
Embelish:
Heres the fun part. Decorate your page with stickers, or those cool caption stickers. Die cuts. You can also make your own die cuts out of cardstock scrap. Ribbons, old jewelry can even be used. Old invitations. Party decorations. Use old scraps of cardstock and put on all 4 corners of the page. One thick piece of cardstock which is a 3 inches wide the length of your page, and position on the either side of the page. Or, take a piece of cardstock that is about 3 inches wide and the width of your page and position at the top or the bottom of your page. Use these areas for your journal. Make a pocket page and store love notes or old movie stubbs.
Fix it to the Page:
Once you have everything in place just the way you like it, you can use a hot glue gun or acid-free stick glue, but dont glue it until you're happy with the layout.
Journalize:
Tell a story about the people in the photos. Where they were, be sure to include dates. Use cardstock or color coordinating paper to write your story then place close by the photo, or on a designated page of its own.
