Helpful Tips (Part I)

A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a
knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed.
(hmmmmmm...)

============================================
Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them
neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.

============================================
For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put
Dawn dish washing liqu id in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't
refreeze. (wish I had known this for the last 40 years!)

============================================
To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for
a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The
wax will fall out.
=================================================
Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped
in baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).

============================================
Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt
BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel.

=============================================
Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of
scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to thro w
away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would
be much more econom! ical. No w a box of S.O.S pads last me indefinitely!
In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get 'sharpened'' this way!

=============================================
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen
peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works
every time! (Now, where to put the body?) LOL

=============================================
Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal
for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks.
Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows
on a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably streak.

============================================
Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely
light scent in each room when the light is turned on.

============================================
Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and y our clothes will
smell freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels
and linen.

=============================================
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3
hours prior to burning.

=============================================
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the
flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt
and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!

=============================================
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or
two of dish ! soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to
a boil on stove to p.

==============================================
Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring
in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.

Surprise Your Loved Ones

I am the type of person who thinks of my loved ones and friends on their special occasions in their lives like their birthdays and anniversaries. I always make it s point to send them greeting cards especially birthday cards to show them that I think of them and that they're special to me. There are lots of stores that sells greeting cards but I like to buy mine at Cards Direct. Their greeting cards can be personalized with custom imprint, company logos, printed photos, message inside, printing your return address on the envelope flap and many more! I've first seen these type of cards when a friend of ours gave us a customized Christmas card a couple of years ago. I was so impressed and so I had to search where to buy cards like that until I found cards direct online. I'm glad they offer customizable cards and I'm pretty sure my friends and loved ones would be surprised and impressed too when they receive these cards that I'm going to send them. I like their Gold Bow birthday card because it's simple yet it look so elegant. I can send it to either male or female birthday celebrant. When I order cards, I order them in bulk because I can save more that way. These site offers different kinds of cards so you can choose what you want. I encourage you to visit this site and check out the different styles and designs of cards that they offer. I'm pretty sure you would love them.
