Been have brainstorms as well as regular ones... Will start posting occasional hints under this banner June 29, 2009.

Add any that come to your mind too... hugs all.... meems.. emom..mmm and various other names...

When to panic! You awaken, refreshed, from a good nites sleep to find your bedroom full of feathers. The Wrecking Crew has unstuffed their bedding! Mornin' all...

To hide or disguise the wires that are attached to some lights or radios or or... Attach the wires to a garland of artificial flowers or ivy.. Use the plastic ties to attach... make a showcase of the problem... You can also use clay or decorative pot below the wires to add to the illusion...

I like that one emom...good idea : )

Good one - - - I actually tried that once. I plugged a wall lamp in my bathroom, but it left about a foot of the wire showing. Wrapped a vine around it, hung two small mirrors beside the vine and presto! a fairly decent display in a small bathroom.

I make my own trail mix... Raisins, mixed nuts, coconut, and other dried fruits. I put all the makings in a cookie tin and shake the tin like crazy...High cal but good for ya!

I love trail mix . . . you're makin' me hungry! Thanks for the tip. ~KK

That does sound like a good mixture - I make mine out of cheerios, nuts, pretzels and of course, there has to be chocolate, M&Ms!

Right now, I am building (sorta) a wall unit in the studio... Milk crates are sturdy. Can be stabilized with plastic ties.. Stack em and add a board if you want to leave a gap... Makes an excellent desk/table for TV's or as a puter desk... You can also 'build a unit around the puter set up using a couple of boards and more crates on either side.

My puter table is a core door set on top of three two drawer filing cabinets.. two at one end of core door... one at the other end... I left a gap for the critter bed and me... them critters do love to lay by my feet!

Inexpensive filing cabinets can be spray painted to match or contrast with the core door. Not counting the file cabs. I think I spent, at most, $20 to $25... That's a guestimate...I had the paints on hand... I bot the door for $5...

The crates were given to me... I stack my rolled up clean paint clothes in them in the desk room...

USE CAUTION IF YOU HAVE LITTLE ONES RUNNING AROUND... THE CRATES CAN BE ATTACHED TO THE WALLS IF NECESSARY... Hugs all... meems
