Grab Bag Of Tip Treasures


When you are desperate for more counter space in your kitchen while preparing for your next party.  Just open up some drawers to hold trays, bowls or whatever.  Definitely will work in a pinch.  So simple!

Here's a great game for the little ones to play outside in the yard.  Create some fishing poles with magnets attached.  Place metal objects like spoons, etc around the pond.  Prize won for the most "fish" caught.  You could always add some other categories according to the type of "fish" in your pond.
An empty egg carton makes a great substitute for an ice tray. 

An empty egg carton is a perfect way to store golf balls.

If you run out of milk, believe it or not, liquefy 1-1/4 lb of peeled zucchini, the liquid will substitute for about 2 cups of milk.                                              

Instead of mixing milk with eggs when making omelets, substitute ice cold water.  They'll even come out fluffier.

Ever wondered when to transplant?  Transplant when root-bound or when growth has stopped, but never to a pot more than 2" larger than the present container.

If you want juicier hamburgers try this.  Don't compress the meat too much when you form them in to a patty.  The looser the juicier!

This is how to clean your hair brushes and comb.  Fill the sink with warm water and add 2 tbsp baking soda.  Rub brushes together in the solution.  Rinse and pat dry.

Baby oil can be used to remove makeup.  Freshen skin afterwards with witch hazel.

A quick substitute for a connector ring on a necklace could be the little round end of a safety pin.  Simply cut it off with wire cutters.
Dental floss comes in handy when you need to re-string a broken beaded or pearl necklace.
