Paint Touch Up - BY MELLIE |
|
After you finish painting a
room. Get a small jar with lid and fill it with the paint color
for the room you painted.
Label the jar with info about
color and room it was used in. Save in a cabinet or linen closet.
When there is some touch up that you may need to do, you'll have
the right color and small amount needed. You could also attach
a small brush with rubber band to jar, thus avoiding the need
to look for both brush and paint color.
It's helped me, save time and
money. I have avoided having to go buy a small can of touchup
paint, because I can't find the right color among all the cans
of paint I have, which sometimes doesn't seem to match the color
I had. |

Colourful Art - BY CYNTHIA LEWIS |
|
Go to any paint store and pick
up a dozen paint chip squares. Place each chip in a frame and
arrange in a square. Now you have instant art! You can do monotone
colours or choose the colours of the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow,
green blue, indigo, violet. The possibilities are endless! |

Fresh Colour - BY CYNTHIA LEWIS |
|
For instant freshness in the kitchen,
place a clear glass cylinder jar on the island or counter top
filled with lemons. The yellow colour will add a splash of colour
to the room and instantly make the room come alive with freshness. |

Ice Cubes for Parties - BY PAT |
|
If you are having a party or just
have large quantity of something cold being served, freeze your
ice cubes in a muffin tin, they will be firmer, larger and last
a lot longer than regular ice cubes. Good for punch, lemonade
or ice tea. |

Party Ice Cubes - BY MARLYS THOMSEN |
|
When I did big parties, I would
make ice cubes out of some of the punch recipe and freeze in
the sundae cups from McDonald's. You can fill the cups fairly
full and freeze. They do not dilute the punch as ones made of
water would. |
