I'm the only one who eats breakfast cereal in my house. By the time I get to the end of the box, it's not always so fresh. Now I like to incorporate cereal into some of my recipes for a fun twist. This coffee cake has been well accepted. I used a cereal that had dried fruit and clusters with the cornflakes. You can use any type you like.

I use these for the pasta I cook. Today I was planning a meal and I saw the hidden potential in it. When turned around, you can use it for a recipe holder. I didn't have anything but a whipped topping lid, but you get the picture.

This is a cute floral garland that is perfect for spring, summer, or to be used at events like a gender reveal party (baby shower), or Mother's Day. The same concept could be applied toward other parties as well. Easy to make and versatile, this garland can be stored to be used multiple times.
Toothpaste for Tarnished Metal
By Judy
I have an evening bag from my late mother. The chain was all tarnished. I was tucking in the chain and using it as a clutch. Someone suggested to use toothpaste and it did a great job. The photo shows the left side done so you can see the difference.
