Using Eggshells In Your Garden
By Ana
Next time you crack open your eggs, do not be so quick to throw them away! Grind or crush them up and add to your vegetable garden, it will provide many nutrients that may be lacking in your soil. Add to compost. Use in the garden is to deter slugs, snails, and cutworms. They stay away, leaving you with uneaten flowers, plants, and vegetables. Just sprinkle around your planting areas.
Temporary Fix for a Sagging Mattress
By 15mhhm15
We spent a lot of money on our mattress, no stains in new like condition except it's sagging! The temporary fix was by buying a 2 inch mattress topper and, depending on how saggy your mattress is before putting your mattress topper on top, fold towels in the sagged area, or a pillow. It varies depending on how minor/serious the sag is!

Easy rope or twine dispenser It's so easy to make all you need is a empty lint roller, tape, scissors, a pen, and the twine to make a very easy twine or small rope dispenser. It's nice and neat and will be much easier to use after it's on your new dispenser.

Binder Clips for Calendar Pages
By Sandi/Poor But Proud
I get my calendars at the dollar stores. The variety is great, and of course the price is key. But, the paper is thin. I find that when I hang it by the center hole, the edges flop over.
