This would be great next to the refrigerator in my garage! I can think of so many little things that this would hold in addition to extra canned goods.
How about glass mason jars that would hold batteries, nails, screws, all those thousand and one little things that get hidden away in drawers and cabinets? Items could be easily found in clear glass mason jars with lids to keep out the dust and dirt! I’m showing this to my husband!

Did you take or have you planned a special kiss for your wedding photos? We love this one!
My husband and I had a friend that restored an old Rolls Royce and he drove us from our wedding to the reception (thanks Carl!) and if my husband would have seen this picture, he would have tried it. He did jump out in traffic at a stop light with a bottle of champagne and went to some of the wedding party cars behind us to give them a swig.

To easily make heart shaped cupcakes, all you need to do is put a marble between each liner and the cupcake tin. Don’t have any marbles handy, use 1/2″ balls of aluminum foil instead. How fun!

How fun is this? A creative, convenient way to serve and chill wine, beer or soda at your next outdoor party involves a wine gutter and a picnic table. This picnic table was designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects and features a built-in galvanized steel gutter down the center of the table. Fill with ice and you have a bona fide, handy-dandy drink cooler at your fingertips!

Sunburns can be painful and slow to heal. Lavender essential oil can help with mild burns, including sunburns and may help minimize peeling. Lavender is one of the few essential oils that does not need to be diluted with a carrier oil and can be applied directly to skin by gently dabbing it on with a cotton ball.
For a do-it-yourself skin soothing soak in the tub, combine one cup powdered milk with 10 drops lavender essential oil in a jar, shake and pour into lukewarm bath water.

My son would have loved this Sci-Fi Rocket Fueled Jet Pack when he was little. He loved superheroes, wearing masks and capes. I’m sure if he had his own jet pack, it would have been worn every day. DIY Tutorial at DoodleCraft.
