Helpful tip for when you cannot open apart a garbage or plastic bag with your hands.

Here is something I discovered after trying to pull apart a garbage bag so I could put a new bag in my trash basket. Well, I don't know about you but this particular bunch of bags I was really having a hard time separating  the two sides of the bag.  So, I decided to try some tape. I placed a piece of masking tape on one side of the outside of the bag of course. Make sure you leave a little above the crease so your fingers have something to hold on while you easily spread the two sides apart from each other. This worked for me on more than one occasion.  I hope it helps you as well.  :).

Recycling idea with dishwasher baskets.

We needed to get a new dishwasher.  So, before they came to take our old dishwasher away I needed other items for storage.  I decided to take the two baskets out of the dishwasher to store all my craft frames in. It worked really well for this. I also took out the silverware basket and I used  it to hold some of my paint brushes in.  So, if you happened to be in the same situation as I was maybe you too would find this helpful of an idea as well. Or also would be interested to know what you happened to use your baskets for. Whether you used this idea or another would love for you to share.  :)>

Arts And Crafts. Snowflake Person Face, For The Snowflake Below This One.

Here is a fun craft to do with children together or independently.  If your children do not have any plans, this weekend.   If in a school setting we created a bulletin board with the finished faces.  The children placed their names on the rim of the hat.  For the snowflake you need to fold a white piece of colored paper, then trace the snowflake on with the straight edge showing on the crease of the paper.  Next cut it out without opening it. After it is completely  cut, now you can open it to see that it forms a snowflake.  The picture underneath shows how to put it all and glue together.  You can get as simple or as creative as you like, with glitter, rickrac etc. Or just use crayons.  Thanks for stopping by.  :).
