This is a fun racing game you can make with markers, water, a plate and straws. Objects drawn in dry erase markers can float on water when done properly, and it makes for an awesome race. Just blow at your drawings with straws and watch them speed across your water-filled plate.
Silhouette Pumpkin Halloween Card
By 15mhhm15
This would make a cute Happy Halloween greeting card to a teacher. It is an easy to make card, and I was able to recycle a piece of cardboard packaging, a magazine, plus all the ribbon sticker was from last year's Michael's Grab Bag. If you don't have ribbon sticker, you can cut strips of paper and glue them down.
CrockPot Stewed Beef and Gravy

This recipe is gluten free. It's good left over and the last little bit served on a bed of rice. None is wasted at our house. This is one of our favorites to have for dinner.
Use Old Box or Sheet Protector to Collect Craft Scraps
By tiffanytallent1981
After every craft or scrapbook project, I used to have a pile of trash on the table. I hate dragging my kitchen trashcan into my craft corner and I don't have room for one there either. Instead, I started keeping a sheet protector and an old box in my craft area to hold all of my trash scraps. My is area so much neater!

My friend's sister had these on her porch for Halloween! I am so in love with them! They have so much character and because they aren't carved they will last a lot longer than traditional jack-o-lanterns.
