TIP FOR KEEPING BERRIES FROM GOING MOLDY ~ dump berries into a mixture of one part cider vinegar/ten parts water. Swirl around, drain, rinse if you want and pop in the fridge.The vinegar kills mold spores and other bacteria on the surface of the fruit. Raspberries and strawberries will last longer in the fridge without getting moldy and soft.

Love this tip (soak old paintbrush in hot vinegar for 30 minutes and good as new).

Here's how it works: Each person brings their favorite thing (anything you like.. your favorite lip gloss, favorite kitchen tool, favorite gift wrapping supply, a gift card for your favorite frozen yogurt, etc.). It can't cost more than $6, and each person brings five of the same thing. When you arrive at the party, you write your name on five slips of paper and throw them in a big bowl. The bowl is passed around, and each person takes five names (making sure you don't pick your own.. or two of the same name). One at a time each person introduces their favorite thing and then reads the five names they picked from the bowl, passing out their gift to those five guests. After everyone at the party has presented their favorite thing, each person should end up with five gifts to take home. It's always interesting to see what people choose, and some guests have started to bring a notepad and pen to jot down what people love.
