west elm idea July 23, 2008
hello friends,
this is a pic from west elm’s new catalog, click on the pic to the site. I thought this was a crafty, diy idea for adding a little style on the inexpensive side! cut out a shape of a vase or trophy you like on any paper, they used newspaper like print. The other interesting piece is crown blown up - enlarge your favorite pic and crop in a frame….picture perfect!
the other pic is one I use of a map of Venice I got from a piece of wrapping paper! have fun decorating!
real simple has done it again July 20, 2008
these ideas are sooooo clever….
the first is using clear ponytail elastics to keep your flowers in place the other ideas are smart new uses for old things.. instead of using the travel sauce cups from your tupperwear set use travel size bottle to hold your dressing. The coolest one .. no pun intended is making for making your own cold gel pack- take one part rubbing alcohol and three parts water in a resealable plastic bag overnight in the freezer for a soft gel pack! cool right!

if your zipper is stuck, rub a pencil on the teeth of the zipper… the graphite is a lubricant on metal!
and while you are making your fabulous martinis take a shot glass of vodka and stick your dull diamonds in the glass to add some sparking to the lifeless duds!

Crudites=Veggies and Dip
of course thanks to Martha - we all know who to entertain with style- this has to be the most efficient and stylish way to serve “veggies and dip” click on the picture for the link to Martha’s site. Martha also says we should put veggies in an ice water bath one hour before serving in order to keep them crisp!
