Marking Empty Boxes

By Sandi/Poor But Proud

Boxes that are marked I am always looking for free storage. Shoe boxes are great except you can't see what is in them. What is more frustrating than not knowing what is inside, is not knowing if there is anything inside.

Provide Feedback About Online Purchases

A board book with a damaged and bent spine, due to poor packaging during shipping.If you are a frequent online shopper like myself, there are some times where you may not be happy with the item quality, or damages upon arrival. For example, I ordered a couple of new books online. The books were not packaged with care and just tossed in an oversized box. All the books suffered dented spines and that just breaks my heart to see!

Popcorn Kernel Jar Secret Safe

By attosa

Popcorn Kernel Jar Secret Safe - cash inside the inner water bottleNeed a place to hide your valuables? Try making my secret diversion safe that looks like a full jar of popcorn kernels! It costs about $1.00 to make, which is so much cheaper than diversion safes carried at spy and detective shops. Don't have popcorn? You can use: lentils, beans, bran flakes, etc.

Salted or Unsalted Butter

By Irishwitch

What is the difference between salted or unsalted butter? Salted butter is for putting on a warm bagel, muffin, potatoes etc. Unsalted butter is used for baking. If you use salted butter for baking, use no salt!
