Keep Fresh Cut Flowers Fresher Longer



Whether they are from your garden or a fabulous romantic gift from your special love, you want them to stay as fresh as possible for the longest time.

Organize your hair accessories!


Do you waste money buying duplicate
hair accessories simply because they
are scattered all over the place?  

If you find yourself having a difficult time finding
a hair accessory when you need it, this simple
solution may be just what you need!

by using some modge podge and fabric or tissue
paper to decorate them . . . or paint them.

Do you have any tips on 
organizing hair accessories?
