Fall is Leaping Forward

By Ivey

grasshopper on pineconeHere in Oklahoma, it seemed to switch from summer to fall practically over night. One day the heat seemed oppressive, while the next evening we needed long-sleeved shirts and warmer socks! Today this grasshopper landed right in front of me, with all of his orange and yellow finery.

Floating Ink Ghost Race

By attosa

Floating Ink Ghost Race - playing floating ghosts 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

Silhouette Pumpkin Halloween Card - finished cardThis 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.

By littergitter

Stewed Beef in crockpotThis 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

Use Old Box or Sheet Protector to Collect Craft Scraps - paper and plastic scraps in sheet protector and shallow cardboard boxAfter 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!

Minion Pumpkins

By lalala...

Minion PumpkinsMy 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.

14th Birthday Party Ideas
My birthday is next year, but I'm starting to collect ideas and plan early. I want to invite boys and girls. I'm not planning on going to a swimming pool or celebrating at home. There is no beach nearby. Also, I personally don't like things such as bowling, lasertag, paintball, going to-the movies, or theater, etc.
