Remove crayon masterpieces from your TV or computer screen with WD40 (also works on walls).

.

.

stop cut apples browning in your child’s lunch box by securing with a rubber band.

.

.

Overhaul your linen cupboard – store bedlinen sets inside one of their own pillowcases and there will be no more hunting through piles for a match.

.

.

Pump up the volume by placing your iPhone / iPod in a bowl – the concave shape amplifies the music.

.

.

Re-use a wet-wipes container to store plastic bags.

.

.

Add this item to your beach bag. Baby powder gets sand off your skin easily – who knew?!

.

.

Bread tags make the perfect-sized cord labels.

Bake cupcakes directly in ice-cream cones – so much more fun and easier for kids to eat. Definitely doing this!

RV Top Bunk

Well we have a special guest and our guest gets the bottom bed while we get the bunk up top... Oh my what a goof my husband is but as you can see is having a blast. He was trying to pull the inventory file from the old computer to place on my computer and wow what a chore it was.

We haven't blogged for two reasons. One we have been busy with the stores this Christmas season and two, outside of work there just hasn't much to say or show our blogger fans. Sad but there you have it. We hope to change that soon!!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas - my husband and I haven't exchanged gifts yet because we do that on New Year's Day. It's our thing!! This year has been a lot of fun exploring and shopping. For me it's done - just waiting on a couple more packages to get here and then the fun is so on!!

RVers Christmas Wish

 

Email came in for me yesterday from a family in Kentucky. The email was about my Christmas Wish List. Every year I write one for the public in which I've always done with just a fun spirit. Well last year I received some cute wonderful gifts just from my blogs. And so when the request came asking when in the world am I going to publish my Christmas Wish List - I kinda went OMG really? I am honored and now excited and couldn't sleep last night because I was thinking. I am told all the time I am hard to buy for. SO SO SO SO not true. I am the most simple person you'll ever encounter. Every year I have a theme (Jorge and I haven't exchange gifts in over 4 years and this year we are and so we are both like children and excited - don't worry Charity is still in our hearts and we've been doing our part - and we don't exchange gift for Christmas on Christmas for we reserve that day for our Lord. We exchange gifts on New Years) So my theme this year is anything handmade.... My husband is loving this idea because I am his biggest fan and really as much as we craft we never craft for ourselves - you got it we always put ourselves last. My husband has a talent and I want it all around me and want everything handmade for me by him. But for my fans/friends/family who are looking to the blog for some help - here we go... Evielynne - Yarn (you can never go wrong there) - Coffee (thank you so much Kentucky family for the bag you sent last year) - Bumper Stickers (remember the faster I fill the back our rig the quicker I get a upgrade) - Clothes Pins (lol for crafting) that's it for me.... Jorge - Fabric (all this summer it's about Barbie Clothes) - Patterns (he has like 6 so not much to work on) - Sewing Machine Needles - CANDY (men love food and this one takes the cake lol) And there you have it... Oooops Militia/SnowPea/JuneBug - Treats - Toys It's always fun to see what will come - (I just got 2 packages from a Ornament exchange and a I am not sure why gift - but they were beautiful and handmade - I will talk about the Ornament Exchange at a later date - I have 15 of them I am sending out this week - took me longer to make but it was so much fun to be a part of).... Address to be sent (so far we have 2 Christmas Cards - We love that) Jorge & Evielynne Sanchez 110 E Center Street #1117 Madison, SD 57042
