Random Quick Tip!

Recycle Food Boxes!
Recycle boxes that food comes in such as cereal and crackers. Use them to wrap your hand made gifts in. If you want to, you can even paint them and make them look attractive. I do this every year and it makes for good conversation. Plus when they are decorated, they can be reused more than once.Most cereal boxes are just the right size for hats and mittens.
