    Need Picture Frames...any ideas?

    Oooo! thanks! I will tell DH about the cheapie Miter box...honestly, I am not even sure what one is. :hu ;) I am sure I would if I saw one. And I love the idea of a rustic look. I just have to see what works with the pictures I guess. My main concern is I want to preserve them. They have been...

    Need Picture Frames...any ideas?

    Thank you for all the ideas! Keep them coming, please. I have access to lumber that could work very well, but not the miter. I am not sure if DH would want to do the angles for me again after he just made a door without a miter box. But I am getting some good ideas, so thanks again everyone...

    Need Picture Frames...any ideas?

    Does anyone have any good ideas or advice on how to make my own picture frames for rather large poster size pictures? I have been wanting to frame some of these for years and all of them are custom sized and would cost a fortune to go have professionally framed. TIA for your ideas! :) Oh...

    Homemade Mayonnaise...

    The recipe we used is this: (the key is to spoon in the oil small spoonful at time while you are stirring - tedious but result is not oily. My Dh's comment was that he would have liked to have had better quality oil, though.) 1 c salad oil (good quality vegetable oil) 1 egg OR 2 egg yolks 1 tb...

    Envelopes, The Way To Successful Budgeting.

    We are still working on the Cash Budget/Envelope Method. Our income and discipline levels seem to fight now and then and the envelopes seem to always be empty.

    How about ideas for names?

    the first thing that popped into my head was types of dwellings such as cave, tent, log cabin, moving up from there, but that kind of suggested too much status quo... So...um...maybe produce, like knee high corn or something. If I remember how ranks work from when I was dabbling in making...

    Wisconsin Roll Call

    New Berlin, Wisconsin currently. Formerly from Clintonville, Wisconsin where I grew up on 30 organic acres of woods and farmland, with lots of critters. Very grateful to be able to get a corner of that back now, even if I am still in the city, sort of. :D

    I don't know, should we keep the livestock section over at BYC? Since there is so much crossover, this could turn into the spill over site... no offense intended - my coffee hasn't kicked in to help with brainstorming yet....hmm maybe there should be a livestock section over here, otherwise we...

    Great list. Maybe something on Alternative Diets for those of us who are wheat, dairy, whatever intolerant or allergic? I can't think of a clever label right now and maybe there is a category already mentioned that could go under....gotta love brainstorming. edited to add: headed to bed, but I...
