Rate It: Roxy is around 5 weeks old and a mutt of some sort. I got Roxy on January 16th. She found in a dumpster when she was only 10 days old by my uncle's coworker. She called and asked us to get some formula and a bottle and we've been under a Vet's supervision ever since.

Rate It: These are so simple and easy and fast. I find pretty pictures from just about every where (copy to size you need) and then just glue on stones, glass stones, sea shells, etc. I always coat with several coats of water resistant varnish. By lisingreece from Greece

Rate It: Use Film Canisters For Storing Small Items If you're still using an ordinary 3.5mm point-and-shoot camera, hold onto the film canisters after you drop off a roll. They make excellent containers for beads and other small items. Post Feedback: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf33456346.tip.html

Rate It: When my husband and I purchased our home we were buying carpeting for it. The store that we bought it at had us attend a carpet seminar to see a movie about how carpet was made and to discuss the best carpet for our purpose. It really made it easier to decide what to buy.

Rate It: Rainy Day Craft Box For Children I used a hat box, but any box will do. Place the following in the box:
Remember to ensure that the box remains well-stocked. Whenever you (or your children) are about to throw something away, consider putting it in the box instead. Rainy days won't be quite so dreary anymore. :) By Laura from Long Beach, CA Post Feedback: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf23692332.tip.html

Rate It: Walmart Will "Price Match" On Sale Patterns If you live closer to a Walmart than to your local fabric store that is having a great sale on patterns (like JoAnn's fabrics)... OR, if your local fabric store is "picked over" and doesn't have many patterns left in your size, simply take the ad up to the register with you (after you've shopped) and Walmart will honor other stores ads for Simplicity or McCalls brand patterns (and other things too!) Just be sure to bring the ad in with you and make sure the sale is STILL going on. Post Feedback: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf49636954.tip.html

Rate It: Sprinkle Colored Sugar on Hot Cereals for Kids I had such a hard time getting my grandson to eat his oatmeal or cream of wheat. I finally shook a little colored sugar sprinkles on top and poof, the oatmeal was gone. Each time we have hot cereals, I pick a different color and just sprinkle enough to make it pretty!

Rate It: Place oranges in hot water for about 45 minutes - 1hour; remove from water and let cool until you are comfortable handling them by hand. Take a tablespoon (or teaspoon) and begin peeling the orange from the navel, the skin should peel leaving all the white on the peal and virtually none on the orange. This is an old restaurant trick I learned long ago. Post Feedback: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf92795038.tip.html

Rate It: Military Themed Christmas Tree My son is an 8th grader in military school (his choice). I promised him a military theme for next year's Christmas tree. I've started buying little action figures and camouflage vehicles at the 99cent store, but they are mostly olive drab colored. I may enhance them with silver or gold paint but need other 'crafty' creative ideas for decorations that will stand out on a green tree. Or should I get a campy silver tree (ugh!) and keep camo decorations as is? Help! Post Feedback: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf33935095.tip.html

Rate It: Helping Chihuahua Adjust to New Home I just took in a chihuahua that is about 2 to 3 yrs old because the owner was moving. He is a male and he won't eat or go to the bathroom. I have had him only 1 day. My other dogs, a mini Italian Greyhound and a Dobi/Rot mix have excepted him with no problem. If you hold him he's fine, he will just lie in your lap. If you put him down, he goes under the table. please help me.
