ReplyDeleteSo many awesome little ideas! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhen painting, wrap your paintbrush or roller in plastic wrap, place in the freezer. You can then take it out in a day or two and finish painting without the headache of cleanup in-between.
ReplyDeleteWe put our paint brushes in a zip lock. The 9" head fits just right in a gallon size and zips to the metal part of the handle. I haven't tried the freezer thing though. Also, we use Glad Press n Seal on the paint pan so it doesn't dry out and get flakes & stuff in your next day's paint. Clean up just once. :)
DeleteThis is AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteLove these ideas! Thank you for taking the time to share!

ReplyDeleteI love your ideas! Clever, clever, clever! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo awesome! I just used the canning jar and Parmesan lid. Perfect! :) I mentioned this on my blog, and gave you credit. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love these ideas! I have actually used the one with the binder clips for computer cords... makes life SO much easier! =-)
ReplyDeleteI loved your tips they were fantastic. I especially loved the apple one, as seeing I am pregnant and will be sending apples to school that's a great tidbit.
ReplyDeletethese are great tips! thank you for sharing. i too have quite a list of 'things i've learned'. and like you, i feel that blog readers miss out sometimes of all the great ideas if they are not pinterest followers also.

asfor the hard boiled egg, if you add a little vineger to your water before boiling the shels wil come right off with no effort
ReplyDeletegreat ideas!
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius!
ReplyDeleteThese are cool. I guess I'll have to buy a thing of "cheese" just for the top.
ReplyDeleteamazing ideas! saw this pinned and repinning it now! thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThe wooden spoon over a boiling pot does not work.
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying this! So true. My pot of boiling water spewed all over my stove in spite of my wooden spoon.
DeleteDidn't work for me either.
DeleteI tried the caulk for my rugs a few years ago; it didn't work. We have two large dogs and I was looking for anything that would work that we hadn't already tried...unfortunately this didn't work. My father-in-law keeps his rugs in place with velcro, but I'm not willing to attach velcro to the floor.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried using pieces of shelf liner that is foam/rubber? I placed a piece of that under my rug and it stopped it from slipping. It doesn't have to be cut as large as the rug to work. My mother-in-law used to use the old rubber canning jar rubber seals under her throw rugs to keep them from slipping.
Deletethank you for great ideas
ReplyDeleteWhat great Idea's I will be useing many of these. Thank's loads for putting this together. Have a good one!

ReplyDeleteSuch great idea's. Ash
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your tips! As for some folks saying this or that doesnt work, it could be the difference in materials used in your "test" of it.. Or how it's done. If everyone says it doesn't work , then I'd likely not try it & move on.However, I will be trying most. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent ideas! Pin, pin, pin!!! :0)
ReplyDeletejust did the Parmesan lid on the mason jar (filled with baking soda) for cleaning my corning stove top. So cute.
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL IDEAS. SEVERAL I HAD FORGOTTEN THROUGHOUT TIME.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! But the wooden spoon one doesn't work.
ReplyDeletehas anyone tried the vinegar on the windshield ? I would be concerned it would ruin the paint on your car. Loved this site and write and let me know about the paint because its a great idea
ReplyDeleteIf you're worried about the vinegar on your car, just cover your windshield with cardboard or a beach towel the night before. I did this all winter long in high school!
ReplyDeleteI am going to try the vinegar on the windshield worth a try. I do use vinegar instead of jet dry in my dishwasher. Everything comes out spot fee and no hard water stains.
ReplyDeleteLove these. I only wish your links took you directly to the featured explanation, not to the blog in genera. Thank you!
