Saving Money on Wedding Favors

By attosa

A variety of wedding favors, including a bride and groom rubber ducky.Wedding favors can be a rather large added expense. The more guests you have, the more the price goes up. There are many ways to cut costs on the gifts that you give out on your most memorable day. However, if you make cuts in the wrong places, like giving out really cheap favors, you're doing yourself a disservice. You can still have gorgeous favors at your wedding that represent you quite well as a couple and not break the bank.

Adjusting a Dust Pan Clamp

By littergitter

Adjusting a Dust Pan Clamp - broom and attached pan hanging I purchased this little dust pan at the grocery store. I have seen them at Walmart as well. It is made to clamp onto the broom handle, I would guess tight enough to stay in place which makes the dust pan very convenient. When you use a broom, you usually need a dust pan.

Cascade of Vines - vines cascading over a retaining wall with orange and yellow flowers belowI work for the State University of New York in Albany. On a lunch time walk I couldn't help but notice the beauty of these cascading vines and the color of the flowers was so vibrant. I also found the angled view gorgeous.

After snipping the 'umbrellas' from your elderberry bush, use a plastic fork (held backwards) to glean the black berries from the vines. Package and freeze. Wash just before using.

Today's Questions
Removing Mirrors Glued to Wall with Super Glue
I got the thrifty interior decorating idea of placing rose colored mirrors up in my bathroom as a backsplash using super glue. Now I'm thinking that it's a bit much and want to take them down and do another back splash. How do I remove the mirrors since they were put up with super glue?
Whirlpool Washer Won't Drain or Spin
I have a Whirlpool WFW9050XW00, that stops before the drain and spin cycle. I verified 110 voltage and then brought a new pump and installed it, but had some problems. I took a voltage reading again, this time from board and am not getting 110volts now. Any suggestions?

Best Chalkboard Paint for Use With Liquid Markers
Can anyone tell me what is the best chalkboard paint to use when painting your board so you can use liquid chalkboard markers? It has very vibrant colors, but is very hard to get off most boards. I know sometimes people in restaurants use them for menu boards, so they can change their specials.
