HOMEMADE MOD PODGE

Feeling Crafty? Out of Mod Podge or if your like me, knock over the container...Grrrrrr

I found a homemade recipe and thought I would share

Enjoy!

RECIPE FOUND HERE

Mod Podge in a Pint Jar (matte)

Fill jar half way up with white glue (like Elmers)

Then fill jar up with water.

Shake Well.

This is a 50-50 mixture glue/water.

It will have a Matte finish.

If you would like a Glossy finish, add 1 TBS of clear varnish.

Shake it!

A NEW WAY TO DRY HAIR...HEHEHEHE

This is my daughter, I went to go downstairs and saw her drying her hair like this..I said, "what the heck are you doing", she said drying my hair, it keeps my arms from getting tired'!  She has Fibromyagia and so does her older sister.  Just the little things like drying their hair, that we take for granted makes them tired.

IT'S ALMOST THAT DREADED TIME....

Back to school shopping is just around the corner, and I dread it every year.  It's so depressing to see how much your kids have grown up, and OUTGROWN all their clothes... Luckily I have 3 daughters and some clothes I can pass down to help cut down on the cost of buying all new clothing.  Every summer my kids dread the day when I make them have a fashion show and try on all their clothes in their closet to see what fits and what can be passed down.  When they were little they loved fashion show day, but now being they are teenagers it's not so fun!


Here are a few ideas that can help save a Dime~A~Day..

*Clothes swap party with your neighborhood/church friends...This is a great idea for infants and     toddlers
*Yard Sale-this can help get rid of old clothing and help purchase new items.
*Consignment Shops-A lot of places will buy your gently used clothing...
*Always remember to buy OFF SEASON, you can save a bundle!
*Always check the clearance racks...You never know what you can come across.
*Re-purpose clothing-Turn a pair of jean that are too short into a pair of shorts!
*If you shop on the Internet remember to shop through a reward site such as EBATES.
*Craigslist-sell by the bundle..always be careful meeting people..
*Facebook-I have been seeing a lot of yard sale pages for their county/area they live in, take pic, set price and post! EASY
