A holiday scrapbook page.

Scrapbooking on a Budget
Love your pages! If I would use my imagination more when scrapbooking, I would save more money. I did make a cover for a couple of my albums. I just sewed a slipcover for both of them using fabric and binding; made it like one of those removable book covers...

Borax vs. Salt for Fleas?
Just noticed that someone mentioned not letting pets or children into the room, until the salt was vacuumed up. That is great advice! I also like the suggestion about the pie pan, nightlight, pie pan and syrup and some of the other suggestions. Thank you.

Borax vs. Salt for Fleas?
Please be careful using salt and other such things with your pets. I tried the salt method in the past, as it was told to me by a friend. One of my cats got salt into her eye (probably from wiping her face with her paw), and it caused her to have a terrible...

Your walls are a beautiful color! You did an awesome job! I made the mistake of picking out a color that was darker than I imagined it would be. (Those tricky paint swatches!) Thinking I would Love it, I bought four gallons. Tried making it lighter; turned...

Recycled Pet Food Bag Tote?
I have seen large Birdseed bags and other animal food bags made with Duraweave. It is heavier than the paper styled bags; it has a slick texture and has strands of plastic weaved throughout the inside of the bag.

Treating a House Lizard Bite?
I live in another country, so I am not aware of what type of lizards you have there. I would go to a doc myself. Are you sure it was a lizard that bit you? I think here they suggest that you get a tetanus shot if you are bitten by anything, and they double...

Why Has My Spayed Cat Begun to Spray Inside?
The only time my kitty ever urinated outside her box was when she had a urinary infection, so I agree with the previous poster about checking that first. Your circumstances are different than mine also. I hope one of the previous posters tips works.

Reuse Pet Food Bag Under Litter Box
Oops, I forgot to mention the type of pet food bags I am talking about; they are the real sturdy plastic kind made from Duraweave. I really like the suggestions about using the paper pet food bags to put used litter in. I will definitely use that idea! Thanks...

 

Plastic tub shelter for cats.

Thank you all for your great suggestions! I hadnt thought about flipping it the other way or using a hot knife to cut through the plastic. Also, the suggestion about using two with insulation sounds good, as it would keep them warmer. Ill have to print this...

Uses for Dog Food Bags?
Cant wait to use the pet food bags for putting used litter in! Great idea! I have some of the plastic style bags that are made of Duraweave. I love coming up with ways to use them; such as making bags, organizers etc, as they are so indestructible. The bird...

'Vet's Best Ear Relief Wash and Dry' from Petco?
Have you been to the vet yet? I had a cat whose entire digestive system got blocked up and backed up. He vomited up his food. It showed that his intestines and stomach were completely full on an xray, and they were able to get him cleaned out. And I changed...

What can I do with old magazines?
I usually leave them at a laundramat. The people there are sometimes bored while waiting on their laundry to finish washing and drying, and they can take them home with them. They are always gone in no time.

Homemade Children's Toy Boxes

I use the recipe from this site to make a Green and safe refill for my Clorox ReadyMop. The vinegar makes the cleaner not streak on laminate flooring, and gives it a little shine; plus it is safe for people and pets, and it is also a great window cleaner. http...
