You Light Up My Heart Solar Valentine Gift
By Robyn
A solar stake is at the center of this Valentine's gift, surrounded by a seasonally decorated towel, pot holder, and a pretty ribbon. A small box of chocolates accompanies this gift. Holding this Valentine's gift is reminiscent of receiving flowers and candy, but it is much more ;)
Shenandoah National Park Webcam
By littergitter
Every morning, I get on the computer and go through my favorites. This web cam, located in Shanandoah National Park in Virginia, is one my favorites. There is only one view and I don't know how often it takes a picture during the day but I was able to copy and paste this photo on January 14 at noon.

I spent my birthday up in the San Francisco Bay area. Walking around town looking for a place to eat, I noticed the price of clam chowder had skyrocketed like mad. I skipped out on having some, but since the craving stuck, my mother and I decided to make it from scratch once I got home. It's not hard to do, and costs a fraction of the price marked at the restaurants. Bread bowl optional, but highly recommended!

By Donna
We had a glass table in the garden and one day it shattered. So we came up with this solution for recycling it. We used left over wood planks and even the last of the stain we had for the deck.
