What's a Tortilla Warmer?

Sometime ago, I saw an advertisement for tortilla warmers and loved the idea. They looked fun and useful but the cost was $8.00 - $12.00 each, depending on the size, plus shipping. "What a great way to use up scraps!" I thought. So, I tore out the ad and saved it. I came across it the other...

An Oldie but Goodie - Bag Keepers Never Go Out of Style

As you probably know by now we have been slowly trying to go green. So we use cloth bags (see designer bags )for most of our shopping.

Keeping It Simple - Valentine Candy Bar Wrappers

Our daughter's car broke down in the snow this week. Michael was not available so she called me to come and help her. What I know about cars you can fit in a thimble! So, what was I thinking when I opened the hood and stared into the engine? Who knows- brain freeze I guess! But there we were, standing...

Keeping It Simple - Crayon Chalk Tote

I have been dog sitting a five month old puppy for the last 2 weeks. Sage is pretty good, but she is definitely all puppy. And Big!
