Hosting a Candy Exchange Party?
We used to have candy and cookie exchanges in a couple of ways. The first year I invited my daughter-in-law, sister and her daugher-in-law. Each was to bring a dozen each of three different kinds of cookies for each person present. I would have sugar cookie...
Suggestions for White Hair Other Than Dyeing?
You can color your own hair for as little as $2.97 a month. Go for a light blonde and the white roots wont show so bad and you wont have to color as often as if you go darker. My hair is white and I have been coloring blonde for a year now just for a change...
Peeling Fingernails?
I had the same problem, searched the net and found a doctor who recommended taking, dont laugh because it helped, childrens Flintstones vitamins. two or three a day and 600mg calcium with vitamin D one per day. My granddaughter laughed at me taking the Flintstones...
Year Round Wreath Ideas?
Rather than using the hot glue why not make seasonal decorations to attach with velcro strips. Just attach one side to your wreath and the other to your seasonal decoration. You could purchase the decorations and paint or finish them if you arent into making...
Buckle Your Purse in Your Seat Belt
What a super idea. I rolled my truck two years ago during a blizzard in which my purse and many other things were thrown out of the truck. I hunted and hunted in the snow on my hands and knees for my purse. I was alone and thankfully not hurt badly but in my...
Large Yard Art Star?
We took a 4 by 4 of 1/4 plywood, drew a star on it, cut it out then painted it white. Drill holes around the edges for the lights to poke up from the back measureing your hole spacing by your string of lights. We used glue to hold the lights in but if you do...

Windows XP Keeps Crashing?
This happened to me a while back, come to find out I was using a GPS software program that was too large for my computer. Does it happen mostly when you are doing one particular program? Might try about.com for information. I get some really good help there...
Bending Silverware for Crafts?
The way I learned was to use a wooden dowel the size I wanted my curl or circle to be, using a rubber mallet, slowly pound the handle around the dowel. You might try jewelry sites for more information. I just typed in making jewelry out of silverware and found...
Garage Sale Items for Gift Exchanges
?
If you are wanting to leave the gift in the box for certain you might try giving the box a light overspray of paint the same color of the box. You will want to take the gift out of the box, mask the areas you dont want painted. You might even try a shade darker...
Removing Sharpie from Metal?
In a hidden place take the sharpie and make a mark, let it dry then write over the mark again and quickly wipe both marks. The new ink should remove the old. You may have to do this more than once. If it satisfies you here, go to the real mark you need to remove...
Complimentary Color for Gold in a Painting?
I would try shades of deep burgandy depending on the red in the reddish/brown background or a deep purple perhaps. Experiment with pieces of fabric or artificial flowers the colors you are considering, would be a thought also. Good luck.
Craft Uses for Paper Towel Rolls?
Not exactly a craft idea but for those out of control extension cords, I fold them the length of the cardboard tube and slide them in. Makes for neater storage. I leave them in the tube when I use them if it work that I can by leaving the two ends sticking...
Craft Uses for Paper Towel Rolls?
At Christmas we used to use the tubes that come out of the wrapping paper to make candles on the door. You could make shorter ones with paper towel and tp tubes. Just cut them in half lengthwise, cover with whatever color of paper you want. By wrapping your...
Clear Plastic Jars With Lids?
Thank you, they do have what I am looking for but the price is pretty high with the shipping. I am looking for something around 50 cents, I realize I am being cheap but it is for a craft project to sell and have to keep the price so low to make it work. Looks...
Hedge Apples for Pest Repellent
I think you meant Hedge apples. They are hard and look more like a drying up green orange. Believe me when I say hard my sister and I were picking some in Missouri once and one fell on her head. It hurt! They are the size of a regular orange and have more of...
Uses for Leftover Fabric Scraps?
Sounds like everyone is like me and has lots of scraps, maybe we arent using our scraps because we are tired of them, after all we worked with them once. Do we need to trade some of our fabrics around, I for one would be willing to discuss ideas on a fabric...
Scrapbooking Children's School Projects
All good ideas, with my grandchildren I scan drawings or take pictures of projects and when I get enough they help me make a quilt with their projects as the blocks. Instructions are on my blog. http://www.myfrugallife.com/blog_latrtatr.html Anything to preserve...
Personalized Hand Towels
If you know they are not going to be used and only for show, you could try the glues that say they are okay to wash and wont wash out; I would try one before I gave it away though. You could just as well hand sew the fabric on. Just press the edges under and...
Use Dried Greenery In Your Fall/Winter...
Your display is very pretty, isnt it fun to utilize what we have. It makes me feel so good about myself. One idea I have used is to reuse my husbands old cowboy boots, if you have a farmer husband his worn out boots or hiking boots, they make cute planters...
Use Lace For A Subtle Pattern
What a wonderful idea, thanks for sharing. The lace most likely has a somewhat hard finish to it after being painted. Think what could be done with the lace now= form around an old vase, tie a ribbon around it and you have a victorian look. Make a fan for a...
Homemade Hat Pins?
I am a home jewelry and make pins among the rest of the usual items, I use hard wire, sharpen one end and glue whatever beads I want on the other end. You may not want to buy the wire in rolls as large as suppliers have, but go to your local hardware store...
Make Your Own Sourdough
Like you I love making and eating sourdough bread. We served our Christmas soup in sourdough bowls, the little kids loved the idea and ate more. I do mine a little different but am going to try yours for sure. I use flat beer for the riced potato or raisin...
