Roll'n, Roll'n, Roll'n

I found some really nifty ideas

in a couple of magazines that I

THOUGHT I would share with

you.

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

~~~~Save the hotel "freebie"

shower caps. Use them to

cover shoes before packing.

Now your shoes won't get

anything dirty. If you don't

use them for this--save them

to cover shoes at another time.

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

~~~~A marrriage rule to NEVER

break. "Steal time." For a kiss,

a whisper, a date, time together

on the couch etc.

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

~~~~Crafty ideas::

**Change a flat front frame

from BORING to bold with

"Grasscloth wallpaper."

Measure frame and photo

opening. glue paper on,

let dry and your good to go.

Trim any excess.

**Find inexpensive glass or

acrylic coasters and cover the

bottom with pictures you have

found or print out your own

photos--cut to fit the bottom of

each coaster and glue on with

clear drying glue stick.

Kids pics, pets, gardens,

vacations etc. would work.

These would be great for as a

little gift too.

Fun activities to do with the kids

this summer:

Play Water Limbo--

Each player goes under the nozzle

stream. Last dry player WINS

Blow Bubbles--

My suggestion--try Scented Bubbles

you can find them at the Dollar Tree.

Put on a Play--

Create costumes, develope a story

and the play can begin. Get fancy

and "sell tickets." Maybe some

popcorn???

Paint Outdoors--

On an old sheet hjug on a clothes

line or hang butcher paper on a

fence for the kids to paint on.
