Looking for "No Sew" Hemming Adhesive?
Thanks everyone! I do believe Stitch Witchery is it. We live in a small town with no craft shops or major stores other than Walmart. Thanks to your responses, I found it online with no problem and without traveling to find it!
Guitar and Music Theme Party?
Dont know if you shop online, but there are some really cool mylar inflatable balloons out there. There are some of the regular round ones, but also 3-4 foot long guitar shaped ones. Ebay has them or some of the party supply websites do as well. Just do a search...
Paint Color Ideas for Pink and Brown Bedding?
Yes, I also vote for a cream, tan, khaki, etc. - a light, neutral color. As others mentioned, it would set off the bedding colors yet work easily with any future changes. Good luck & have fun!
Painting Vinyl Wall Panels?
Polly, I was in the very same situation last year. I finally decided to try one room first by just painting the entire wall, including the strips. It worked out just fine & didnt look bad at all. I did proceed by painting 5 other rooms the same way. Im glad...
Paying Back Taxes?
Bria, Dont hold me to this, but you may not owe anything or very little. It sounds like you were a minor (under 18) at the time. I think some things that may be factors in determining any taxes owed are your age at the time and whether or not your parents claimed...
Replacing Canopy on a Lawn Swing
My only question is ... Where were you about 4 months ago?! :) I just had to giggle when I read this post as Id asked for ideas for a solution to this very problem back in early June. I received many great responses but this one was different as well! Thanks...
Remedies For Cow Licks?
Smoochie, I agree with those that say you cant overcome it; however, I have a funny little tip that might help TAME it somewhat. My husband (whos 52 & has a double crown) remembers his grandmothers trick when he was just a little fellow. He said she first combed...

Get Minimum Service on Your Home Phone
Evey, I had already made the change on internet service (like you) and have been thinking about making some changes on the home phone (thinking like you also in wanting to cut costs). My question is what do you tell AT&T when they ask who you want for your...
Help Redecorating My Living Room?
Actually, I also have burgundy carpet in my living/dining rooms and used hunter green to go with it. I did this several years ago & have really enjoyed it. My mother-in-law had a dusty rose/pink solid carpet in her living/dining rooms and she, in turn, complimented...
Dressing Up a Lattice Fence
Patricia, Just wondered if it were possible to post some photos (night and/or day). Id love to see them! Thanks! Leah
Fixing Pin Hole In Cake Pan?
My hubby came up with this one. If the pin hole is small enough, you can probably turn the pan upside down, make sure the inside of the pan is against a flat surface, then take a hammer to tap the edges of the hole back into place to seal it. Hope this makes...
Welcome Rock
Very cute! And guess what, I had the VERY SAME question when I first read the post ... what kind of sealer was used? Ill be waiting and thanks for sharing!!
Computer Screen Not Refreshing?
Zoodad, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I do believe that did it! Ive put off making this request because I was afraid it would be something difficult to fix. Now I just wish I had asked earlier! Again, many thanks! I just love this website. :) Leah
Repairing Terra Cotta?
I agree with Gorilla Glue working. Theres also a neat gel glue put out by Super Glue brand called Loctite. Its in a silver & blue side-squeeze container & can be found at Walmart. Ive glue all kinds of things with it, and its good abot not drying out or getting...

Repaying Cigna for Disability Overpayment?
Brenda, I mainly wanted to let you know you are not alone. I know thats not a lot of help, but sometimes it makes me feel better to know that others can relate. I think I WOULD consider appealing Cignas decision. I worked at DHS as a counselor for years and...
Acorn Man
How cute!! And so simple and inexpensive! Just as an added thought, these could even make a cute Christmas tree decoration with a bit of red and/or green ribbon (for a scarf around the neck, hanger on the acorn cap, and maybe a bit of white cotton ball glued...
Trick or Treat Gifts Instead of Candy
Might be a little more costly, but I think its a great idea to give some type of drink, like the little juice boxes or pouches (usually 10 for about $2). Maybe you could come up with another alternative, depending on whats available in your area. I remember...
Shrink Wrapping Gift Baskets
This sounds like a great idea! I hate to sound ignorant, but what exactly are you calling shrink wrap? Ive bought the rolls of clear colored wrap before, especially at Easter, then tied together at the top of the basket (or other items) with a ribbon, much...
Betty (Pug)
I absolutely LOVE this picture! I must say that she is the exact opposite of my 9 year old pug named Sugar - shes all body and very little head! LOL! She got her name from that loveable licking you mentioned Betty likes to do. Betty is precious! Im so glad...
Urine Odor in Elementary School Bathroom?
I read this post looking for advice because Im having this problem with my boys (hubby & teenage son), as well as any visiting friends of my son. I cant wait to try the vinegar immediately (its cheap & have this on hand). P.S. Maryeileen: I was curious enough...

Scrapbook for Student Assignment?
Well, Marilyn, obviously you were writing your post while I was writing my follow-up post today. I can say that you certainly know how to put a damper on a good thing. I hope you have read my follow-up post now. I think you missed the point of my request (which...
Color That Goes with Blue?
Hope Im not too late. For a very cheap & easy way to tie colors together, you could consider removable wall stickers. There are some really cute ones to chose from (on eBay, Walmart, etc.) for about $5 for a sheet of several. You could keep your larger objects...
Color That Goes with Blue?
For Danny: Yes, I think that would be a great color choice! We recently painted my sons small room in a light blue (actually called silver pebble). As you probably already know, keeping the colors light will keep the room from looking smaller. Good luck! Leah
Redoing a Bedroom Without Painting?
One quick idea that hasnt been suggested yet...you might check on wall stickers/decals. Ive seen them in various prints such as flowers, seashells, etc. They could add some color to the walls or mirror but easily be removed later without harm by simply peeling...
