Plant Bulbs In The Fall For Spring Flowers
Just wanting to share some spring flowers with you all! I guess my tip would be, "If you want this in spring, get your knees dirty in the fall and plant those bulbs!"

Shine Cookware Handles With Oil
This idea/tip is to make the handles of your cookware look new again. I KNOW that most cookware makers stress NOT to put your cookware in the dishwasher. BUT, when women are working outside the home, every minute counts when getting the dishes/pots done in the kitchen.

Use Care With Fireworks
Parents beware! Teens and tweens love fireworks, but their brains don't comprehend the consequences of their actions. Always have an adult to supervise any fireworks.

Garden Door Decor
When I see a door that someone is discarding, I haul it home and set it up my back yard. I usually hook them between a couple of trees with bungee cords.

Red Hat Lamp
I went to my local favorite thrift store shopping and picked up this lamp. The shade was already shaped like a hat. I painted the shade red and trimmed it with some red and purple feather boas.

Rose Breasted Grosbeak
I was standing at my patio door trying to get a picture of a Baltimore Oriole that I could hear in my backyard when this little guy landed on the back of one of my patio chairs. This is a Rose Breasted Grosbeak.

Garden Bench from a Broken Table
We had a glass table in the garden and one day it shattered. So we came up with this solution for recycling it. We used left over wood planks and even the last of the stain we had for the deck.

Gardening Indoors
I live at an elevation of over 10,000 ft and outdoor gardening is difficult. Our growing season is thirty days long. I am beginning to indoor garden. Here it is May 3rd and it snowed this morning but I am looking at my beautiful tomato blossoms.

Hardening Display Donuts
If you should want to harden a donut, it should be a cake donut (no icing.) Put into a preheated oven on a cookie sheet, at 200* for 5 hours. Let cool and decorate with craft paint and glued on google eyes, etc.

Drink Cone Funnel
This could also be in cooking, frugal living, and more. This was rattling around in my daughters car, and I asked her what it was. She said it was from a Chuckie Cheeze drink cup. Immediately my mind went into overdrive.

Keeping Clutter Off My Kitchen Counters
An old wicker shelf, a large cup-hook and some plastic bins help to organize all the miscellaneous "stuff" that winds up in the kitchen. Then distribute items once a day to their "proper" homes!

Pearl Button Pin
This is a pin I made from saved pearl type buttons. It is very easy. Use any buttons that you have cut off clothes. The white pearl buttons are easy to find. Use different sizes to keep it interesting but fairly close in size.

Baby Birds Just Hatched
Last year a bird built a nest on top of the electrical box, which is just under the gutters. This year another bird claimed it as her home and today I found the new babies just hatched, how cute.

At my first grandchild's shower I did the guest book table with a few balloons and framed scrapbook pages, one of the parents when they were babies, one of the grandparents and one of the great grandparents.

Reuse Plastic Meat Trays Around the House
I get these when I buy ground turkey. For more things than I can count, they are wonderful. I have used them for potting plants. I put water in them, freeze it, and keep desserts and veggies cold.
