Helpful Hints to Help Us With Less Frustration

I know some of these are old but I found quite a few very insightful for helping with things that are normally a challenge to do especially the key ring idea.. :)

 

Use a (clean) dustpan to fill a container that doesn’t fit in the sink

 

Use a staple remover to save your fingernails when trying to add things to your key ring!

 

 

Put wooden spoon across boiling pot of water to keep from boiling over.

 

 Use bread clips to save flip-flops with split holes.

 

  

Use sunglasses or a small convex mirror to avoid people sneaking up on you while wearing headphones at work

 

  Use a post it note to catch drilling debris.

Red Hats and Flip Flops

My very good friend Pat who is the Queen of the "Twilite Gals" and my Red Hat's group "Social Butterflies" had a "Meet & Greet" Thursday afternoon. What fun ti was to meet all her gals and she planned a lovely lumnchoen with games and good cheer. The first thing we did was talk to the person to our left and find out about them. We were instruted to sit next to someone we didn't know so we would get to know the other group. Then we went around the room and described that person to everyone. The two "Qeens" and "Vice Queens" sat at the head of the two tables, and I was fortunate to win a prize. Pat is an avid crocheter and made the cutest toilet paper roll covers, but I am going to use mine to cover a candle when not in use. I picked out the cow... :)

These Flip Flops are so cute and Easy Made with Balloons!!

This is a cute way to spruce up a boring pair of flip-flops. This is an easy summer craft to make flip flops that pop! These flip flops can also be made at slumber parties, luau, beach themed birthday parties or anytime you'd like a cheap easy craft to keep kids entertained. These would make awesome party favors.

Need:
Flip flops ~ Dollar Tree
Water Balloons (about 200 per pair)
(It does take about 1 hr to complete so not good to make with the wee little ones)
How To:
Double tie knots onto sandal. If you are doing a pattern it would be best to start at the sides of the flip flop and work your way to the toe. Keep tying balloons on the flip- flop until you achieve the effect you want.
