Add To Gift Box All Year Long

By mom-from-missouri

Add To Gift Box All Year LongI have a "holiday/gift box" that I keep in my closet. I started this box years ago when our church started a secret sister program. Each month, you give your secret sister a small gift, and at the end of the year, you tell her who you were.

Pumpkin Pie Garland

By tiffanytallent1981

Pumpkin Pie Garland - pumpkin pie garlandWhen decorating for different holidays, I love to see festive garlands. And since pies are a very popular dessert for Thanksgiving, it makes sense to incorporate them into the decor somehow. I chose to make a garland out of paper pumpkin, apple, and cherry pie slices.

Hidden Waterfall (White Haven, PA)

By Toni

Hidden Waterfall (White Haven, PA)I've been exploring the area. There is a dam and nature preserve nearby that looked inviting. I followed the road about 3 miles and saw a sign for a boat launch. I made my way down, but was disappointed that the water was low. Driving up toward the main road, there was this gorgeous waterfall that I hadn't noticed on my way down!

By Donna

Using Bird Feeders for Houseplants I picked up two inexpensive wooden bird feeders that were actually a little broken in a local department store for $1 each. I decided to use them inside my house to hold some hanging plants. I bring in a number of herbs for the winter and so window and plant space becomes an issue for me in the winter.

Almond Crusted Shrimp on plateGround up almonds create the perfect coating for these shrimp. They are juicy on the inside and super crunchy on the outside. My recipes uses coconut flour and is gluten-free, but you can use regular flour if you prefer.

Pumice Stone for Removing Calcium Buildup

By littergitter

Pumice Stone for Removing Calcium BuildupOur cast iron bathtub is 50 years old and I have no plans of parting with it. When the water drains out of the tub, there is a spot near the drain where a little water settles and over the years, a brown circle developed in that area and I could not scrub it off. It was hard calcium buildup.
