Hey Follower!

Hey everyone, so life has been a little crazy these past couple months with school winding down and going to Arizona to see some family for Christmas. However I have some great do's I came up with and some recipes I found on Pinterest. Okay for starters... At Christmas time I had some great ideas on wrapping presents, but you can use this for those birthdays and holiday's through out the year... I have so much tissue paper around the house that I thought I would put it to great use! So I would put a layer of white and then a pattern or solid color and wrap the present. Then I cut out strips I did a white strip and then a color that would match. I made small tissue balls as the bow and then cut out letters as name tags! Some I glued on there and other I pocked a hole with a small nail through the letter and then put some thin ribbon through it and just wrapped it around the bow! Here are some Pictures!
You can learn how to make the tissue flowers here: http://www.craftymoods.com/2011/01/cascading-garden-pom-poms.html Another idea I had.. So there are so many ideas to do with glass bottles. So this new years we got some great cider and I thought to myself I am going to keep these bottles and see if I can use them for salad dressing, olive oil, or even put water in them and use them for serving water! Great ideas I think yes.. However I have found with my salsa bottles that the labels on the bottles are hard to get off. So I figured a way to get it off super easy!!! You will need: 2 TBSP White viniger 4 TBSP lemon juice water soap- (optional) (if you are cleaning olive oil bottles this helps get the oil off and out of the bottle!).
Just fill you sink up with water, add viniger, & lemon zest. kind of mix the water around and then place bottles in and let soak in water for about 5 minutes.
Then take a dish scrubber and it should come off pretty well. I found with my olive oil bottle that if I kept the label on the bottle it came off a lot easier, but the side I didn't it took a little elbow grease.. But with salsa bottles, and cider I have had no problem. This works like a charm! then just rinse with water and let the bottles sit and dry before you place the lid on. It will collect moisture if you don't..
Good luck!
