The Only Spot Remover You'll Ever Need- One part Dawn dishwashing liquid mixed with two parts HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. Pour the mixture directly on the stain, and watch it disappear like MAGIC. (Particularly tough stain, can add baking soda & scrub.)

A good indoor winter project: Cloud Dough - 8 cups flour & 1 cup baby oil. It feels like flour as you run your fingers through it, but it's moldable.
what a great idea! such a time saver for birthday parties- scoop the ice cream into lined cupcake pans & put them in the freezer. then just pull them out when you cut the cake & serve!

CLEVER! For tangle-free jewelry during your travels, unclasp the chain, thread it through a plastic drinking straw, and reclasp. For a shorter chain, cut the drinking straw to the desired length

To print on a paper bag, invert the image (across horizon), click on "Custom" and enter the dimensions (5.2x10.2). Rename the custom print, "paper bag". Hit OK and you're all set. Next time, you'll just have to go to paper size and select "paper bag".

Mini Taco bowls Absolute Genius!! 1. Preheat the oven to 375. 2. Sprinkle each tortilla lightly with water and stack them on a plate. Cover the top with another plate turned upside down and microwave the tortillas for 1 minute or until warm. Turn two 12 cup muffin pans upside down. Mist each side of a tortilla lightly with cooking spray and center it in the space between 4 muffin cups, creating a bowl. Repeat with the 5 remaining tortillas, forming 3 bowls on each tin (as pictured above). Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
use a small tension rod to store the short, tiny spice bottles . .. This site has lots of great storage ideas!

Wendi Sisson I have these 12" square shadow boxes just sitting in storage waiting to be made into gifts. When I saw this, I immediately thought of them, hanging on the kitchen wall to organize spices. But the tension rods don't come small enough for the boxes, so I might have to do dowels? Wedged in with balls of playdough or something?
kma: wonder if this works?? Freeze green onions in water bottles - shake out the right amount and return to the freezer! This is great! You always have to buy so many green onions and recipes usually never call for more than 3 stalks.
