Pumpkins in bushes!

Happy Birthday, Tim!

Ya never know what’s lurking in the bushes these days! The little wool pumpkin above is something I picked up at Joann’s the other day – half price.

And the pumpkin that is in the header at the top of the page is a little something from DH. The fall season never gets off properly until I get a little pumpkin from him. I have it setting in the window above the kitchen sink, except when I took the pic of it. It makes me smile. Hope it does the same for you.

Hand soap and a smile

We’re all looking to save money, eh? Well, this will cut your liquid hand soap expenses in half. We like the Foaming Hand Soaps and had read that you could make your own by mixing half liquid soap and half water. We’ve been using it for a few weeks, cuz I wanted to make sure that it worked before I blogged about it.

You have to have an empty bottle from foaming hand soap; it has a special dispenser. In a measuring cup, I poured in ½ cup of liquid hand soap and ½ cup of water and stirred it with a spoon. I poured the cup of liquid into the empty 7.5 fl oz bottle of foaming hand soap with the special dispenser. Works just as good as the original stuff.

I didn’t know they had this on youtube -- I saw this some time ago. If you don’t get a smile from this one, it ain’t my fault – Laughing Babies --
