T-Shirt Scarf

This scarf is made from a t-shirt I rarely ever used, but now, I know I will be using it more! Love the color, love the ruffles!


I am really loving to re-purpose things and recycle right now!

Here's my 52 cents!

I just have to share! Yesterday, we stopped by a local media/entertainment store that is going out of business in a few days. I was looking for something specifically, but noticed some big plastic bins and just had to look.

I found a iPod home speaker dock in the tub and thought that since hubby and I both have a shuffle, it would be nice to have a dock for each (and for 70% off, it was going to be about 2 bucks). As I was checking out, the total was a lot less than I expected, so I looked through the reciept and found that I paid a whopping 52 cents for that speaker!

You know the thrill you get when you save a few bucks...yeah...I got it.

Introducing...



My new best friend :-)


Homemade Dishwasher Soap

Here is a recipe to try if you like powder dishwasher soap.

In a plastic container with a firmly fitting lid, mix:

1 cup borax (20-Mule-Team Borax, available in any supermarket)

1 cup baking soda

1/4 cup salt

1/4 cup citric acid OR use two packets of Lemonade-Flavored Kool-Aid (ONLY lemon, or you'll dye your dishwasher!) and ONLY unsweetened Kool-Aid

Mix well and store in a plastic or glass container with a lid. Use about 1 TBS per load.

Use white vinegar in the rinse agent compartment to prevent residue.

******************************************************

If you like liquid dishwashing soap, try this one:

1 part borax

1 part baking soda

1 part water

1 drop lemon oil or essential oil per cup of detergent.

Store in a sealable jug and use 2 TBS per load.

Again, everything I read says to make sure and use vinegar as the rinse agent.
