        I love HOME GOODS.  All of these items are under $20 or you can DYI them yourself with stencils, paint and canvases.

  Home Goods is filled with all of these different kinds of paper flowers that are perfect for Valentine's Day and Spring instead of plastic ones. These will look so perfect in a vase or laying down on a table or buffet and reasonably priced.

   Dishes can add the Valentine's Day cheer in the home and can be used everyday.   (Also can be saved for Christmas!)

Target

    These items from Target are so cute to add to your home.  I wish I had room for them on my kitchen counter.

      This frame is also perfect for Valentine's Day from Home Goods. This can also be a DYI project. You can replace the map with scrapbook paper.

Pinterest Do, but ....

  

 This Pinterest post does work, but you need to do 4 times the ingredients so it can cover your feet. 

  1 cup of Listerine

1 cup of Vinegar

2 cups of Water

     Also, all of your dead skin will not practically wipe off.  I found out that the results were better if you use a foot file or a pumice stone that you can buy at CVS.  My feet were not totally free of dead skin so I had to do it once a week until I got the results I wanted after a long time without a pedicure.

   match up those coupons with the sales items and 
   see the savings. Most supermarkets will double all 
   coupons up to 99 cents. Happy shopping!!

 

DIY: repurpose a cassette storage unit.

  

     { after }

         Repurpose an old cassette storage unit 

     to organize your favorite things.

     { before }

          I bought this cassette storage unit at a 

    local Thrift Store for only $3.99.  

                    Supplies needed:

                             screws

                             drill

                             pencil

                             measuring tape

                             level

                    

           Pick a place where you would like to display

    your cassette storage unit.  If there are not already 

    holes in the unit make two holes.  Make two dots 

    with the pencil on the wall where you are hanging 

    the unit. Use the drill to make the holes where you 

    made your pencil markings on the wall.  After 

    making the holes you will need a friend to line up 

    the holes from the unit and the holes in the wall 

    you made. Then add your screws with the drill.  

           In the picture above I used it to display cars in 

    a boy's room, but you can use it to organize many 

    different kinds of things. You can even remove 

    shelves from the unit to make them fit larger items.              

your favorite pictures.

     Add fun shapes and fonts to your favorite pictures. 

Insert your pictures into  Microsoft Word by going to 

INSERT, PHOTO, FROM FILE. Choose the picture from 

your file. You can adjust the size of the photograph as 

well. To add your Shape: Choose INSERT, SHAPE, select 

shape. When shape is highlighted go to FORMAT, 

PICTURE, LAYOUT and choose IN FRONT and the shape 

will go on top of picture.

      To add your TEXT: Choose INSERT, TEXT, insert your

text and follow the rest of the steps for Shape to add on 

top of picture. Adjust size, add color to shape or text and 

decorate your favorite pictures. See some of my favorite 

ones!
