Gift Ideas for poor creative souls (1)
Posted by: Cathy on Apr 22, 2010 Tagged in: Untagged Having just spent hours in the garden, I thought this idea was perfect for this time of year. I know in the US they will celebrate mother's day on the second Sunday in May, so this gift is perfect and really inexpensive. This idea comes courtesy of Giver's Log. The intent of seed tape is to make planting easier when you have teeny tiny seeds that need to be planted just inches apart (like carrots and radishes). Here’s what you’ll need: -1/4 cup flour + enough water to make a paste -strips of paper to make the tape: black and white newspaper (no colored ink), single-ply toilet paper, and a thin paper bag all work -something for dabbing on drops of the paste, like the back of a paint brush -and seeds! You can also add a pretty flower to your boxes to pretty them up a bit. For tutorials on how to market yourself online, go here.

A stockpiling reminder for all as we use our last roll of toilet paper… | Printable Manufacturers Grocery Coupons Blog
A stockpiling reminder for all as we use our last roll of toilet paper… Yes, I am down to the last roll of toilet paper in our home. I’m such a shame to the couponer’s race, I know! But here’s the thing… I haven’t seen a stockpile price I’m satisfied with recently. Toilet paper is one of those things most American use regularly. Wait for the sale to come at the rock bottom price.Buy enough at that price to get you through the next sales cycle.If you are unsure of when the next sales cycle will occur, start keeping a price book to understand.Most sales cycle through every 6-12 weeks. Now, if you don’t see the desired stockpile price and you have a need, buy what you need to tide you over. My stockpile price for toilet paper is $0.25 per roll. Toilet paper is one of those things I don’t want to get down to the last roll to purchase. Was is one of your necessities that you can’t run out of? Check out the Seedling Planter tutorial from Girl in Studio which the image above was taken from!

Spring Gifts: How to Make Seed Tape Strips
Last spring while perusing seed catalogs and my local garden centers, I came across seed tape strips. These thin strips of paper are dotted with perfectly spaced seeds, reducing the need to thin seedlings. Intrigued, I decided to make my own for a fraction of the cost. First, I have to confess. I didn't invent this craft. I actually googled it a few months ago and came across a dozen really wonderful tutorials. How to Make Seed Strip Tape (or Salad in a Tin) These little Salads in a Tin make a perfect gift for the budding gardener in your life. Mandy Dawson can also be found blogging away In Mandyland.

Low. Ride. Er.
Good luck mentally escaping that song for the remainder of the day. And a good morning to you, too! I am aware that was a rather strange segue into today’s post, but you’ll see why it makes sense here in 3… 2… 1… Steve made the fire pit! He went from idea, to sketch, to supplies, to built in less than 48 hours. He’s a stud, what can I say? First item of business was to visit Lowe’s and pick up all of the supplies. Low … ri … der … drives a little slower. He had to make two – count ‘em — TWO TRIPS because of how heavy the stones and gravel were. After picking the perfect spot in the yard for the fire pit, he marked off exactly where it needed to go. While Steve was busy working, Olive sternly guarded All The Things. She gets paid hourly. The next series of steps moved smoothly since all of the prep work was done. Isn’t it pretty awesome? The only minor tweak that Steve mentioned wanting to do in the future was to extend the pebble rim. Ask and you shall receive. Oh, silly neighbors. “Olive!
