Make these mobiles to decorate your home for a Valentine's Day party, to use as party favors, or just to decorate a kid's room.

Even though they are inexpensive and VERY simple, my family and friends loved them. They can be easily hung as a sun catcher from a window frame with a paper clip, attached to a mirror, used as a keychain, or simply hung on the wall. I learned while volunteering with a native American organization to make gifts like this only when I am in a good mood and have positive feelings. These positive vibes will then be transferred on to the recipient of my gift.

I got him last summer. He lives to eat and play, in that order! Mister Smokey Smokerson is the joy of our lives! We were looking for a "mouser" at the same time fools moved out and left him in the parking lot of my daughters apartment complex. (because they were too lazy to have him neutered) Well, we're the LUCKY ones now! Because, we're the proud parents of a perpetually small little black cat that thinks he's still a kitten at 2 years old. Smokey "sings" for his supper, and has good manners because he always says "Thank You" with a meow before eating. He says "Hi" when a human enters the room and also, when you call for him, he ALWAYS comes, after, first saying: "I'm coming Mom" with a meow. I'm 51 and he's my very first pet. Boy-Oh-Boy! I didn't know what I was missing!

Take plastic shopping bags (if they are too lightweight, they will not hold the seal). Cut off the handles and the bottom seam. Flatten the bag out completely. Fold the outside to the inside, you need to double the bag. Divide bag in equal thirds. Now is when the Food Saver comes in, seal from top to bottom. While sealing, gently pull on the bag and it will separate, you should have a good seal. Taking 1 of these small tubes, fold sides into the middle that will be the bottom, then seal. Be sure to cut a small slit anywhere across the bottom for drainage. I use these for starting seeds, transplanting seedlings, cuttings, and even established plants.

They learn the trade and are supervised and watched close as they work on client's hair. I received a cut and color and paid less than $20.00. Tip is separate. I have never had a bad color or cut.

You suppose to be, right. But if the cashier does not see the reduced price and the barcode is not blackmarked across, then you end up paying full price, unless you watch the items go through the register. My tip is keep a eye on the computer screen and make sure that discount ends up as a saving for you.

Joshua said he had them at school that way, so we put paper liners in my muffin pan that bakes 12 muffins. When the brownies were finished baking, they were easy to serve, no cutting or mess, plus the muffin pan only had to be rinsed off. Try it, it is a great idea. The brownies are easy to eat and store.

It did the trick, so I used it on all my family's laundry. Only problem is one of my daughters had a allergic skin reaction to it. So I looked for a sensitive skin/fragrance free laundry detergent. I decided to try Arm and Hammer since it stated it was dermatologist tested and was free of dye and perfume. That did the trick! But the best part is that my towels no longer have that moldy odor! A friend told me never to put dryer sheets in with towels, because it makes them less absorbent. That seems to be working too! To think I was about to go buy all new towels! Try it, and let me know what you think!

Some I came up with are: I took an old metal fan apart and unscrewed the wire basket parts (had one on each side of the fan), then placed cocoa liner I'd bought inside the wire basket, and placed wire hangers on the basket to hang it, filled it with soil and planted low hanging vine plants in it for 2 nice hanging baskets. I took an old vase with barnacles on it my family had found while snorkeling, drilled 3 holes in the bottom, put in soil and planted succulents inside. I took an old metal teapot, drilled 3 holes in bottom, filled with soil and planted pansies in it. These pots are unique and did not cost a dime, recycle some items and see what you can come up with for your garden this year. It is fun and they sure last longer than those ugly plastic pots you'd buy.

We painted latex over oil paint and now the paint is peeling. The advice that has been given is varied and we're not sure what advice to follow. Some have told us to scrape and sand as much of the latex off as possible before repainting with a latex primer. Others have suggested directly applying a coat of Zinsser 123 and then painting over with latex. Obviously we would prefer going the Zinsser 123 route since it would eliminate scraping and sanding. But I'm afraid that this may still result in peeling paint in the future. Any advice out there?

I just replaced the old one with a Kenmore. This made a lot of noise. After speaking with the store clerk, she suggested we swap it out for another one of the same model to see if the original was a dud. At the price we paid, the clerk said it should not be making this much noise. The replacement is indeed, quieter. But, this washer still makes more noise than my previous Maytag, even though it has a Stage 2 ($$) extra quietness feature. Might be called Quiet Pack 2, or something like that. The clerk told me that today's washers are direct drive, rather than the old style of belt drive, so they are noisier. Any opinions? Could we soundproof the closet? I suggested to Dh that we put a rubber mat under the washer on the floor, but he didn't think it would make much difference as the 'closet' extends to the ceiling and has shelves with goods above the washer. Too much open space and no door possible as this is the short, narrow hallway to the garage. Opposite the washer we have the dryer with the same set up. Naturally, it is all located in the kitchen and can't be moved. I'd like to keep the replacement washer and just soak up the sound.

Max came from an elderly woman who couldn't handle the wants and needs of a puppy. Both are approx 9 months old, my problem is Max, the one I just adopted , has a bout of diarrhea and a frequent need to urinate. I figured this was do to nerves being in a new home. After 2 days the frequent need to urinate has subsided , but the diarrhea has continued. On 1/27 ,Peppy, his brother , started having diarrhea. He was fine before his brother arrived. I have been feeding them Pedigree brand moist pouches, Peppy's normal food which he loves and also which Max seems to like. Peppy never had this diarrhea problem from this food. The stool is moist and sometimes stringy. Both seem to have a hard time to defecate so the stools are spread out over a small area. Now today, 1/28, Peppy vomited a little. Both seem happy, are very active and love playing with each other. Peppy is a bit larger than his brother, he weighs about 13 pounds while his brother is a smaller build and weighs about 9 pounds. Both look healthy . Will the diarrhea stop on its own or is there a problem that Peppy may have contracted from Max. Should I give this a few more days and see what happens . I am getting a little concerned. Thanks for your help.
