Make A Great Birthday Card

Open your folded card (whatever size you choose is great) and measure two ribbon or string pieces that will go across the width of your card. Tie the two strings together to make a knot at each end. Glue each tile onto your strings to complete your message of Happy Birthday. Decorate the rest of your card with messages or decorations of your choosing. The recipient will smile wide when they see the extra time you put into making a great card.

Watermelon Art (Porcupine)

Just yet another example of watermelon art. This is a great example of watermelon art that would make a great centerpiece for a party allowing guests to pick a piece up with a “quill” to enjoy. I am sure you would get many smiles and it will be the talk of the party.

Spaghetti & Hot Dogs

Carefully insert dried spaghetti into pieces of hot dog or sausage and boil until spaghetti is to your liking. makes a great and simple dish that kids and adults will love to eat.

Suitcase Kitty Cat Palace

What a great up-cycle for an old suitcase especially if it were broken at the hinges already. Support the two sides of the suitcase by 2′ doweling approximately 16 inches long (remember the bottom side of suitcase will “eat” up more of the doweling because it has to go down into that end). Put feet on the bottom side with old baseballs, wooden knobs, doweling or some other creative item. I have even seen these with a bed in one and a place to put away toys in the other but if you are going to do this make sure to give your cat the option to see which one he likes the best and after he decides you can always take the bedding out of the one you want to use for toys.
