ok, i'll start. i always had trouble finding an image small enough to fit in a locket. i now use the images from the index prints you get with your photo orders. they are just the right size for a locket.

^ I've also done that. I put the the picture on top of the fake picture, and cut it to fit. I did that at Christmas when I put a picture of a little girl inside a tree ornament.

Useful Tips. After I cook something in a frying pan, and it looks like it's going to be tough to clean, I put water in the pan. I then boil the water for a few minutes, then let it sit. The pan then just wipes clean.

I keep envelopes for certain stores. I have another envelope called, COUPONS. For example, tomorrow my husband is going to CVS and the grocery store. On long envelopes, I've written either CVS or GROCERY on the front. Today, I prepared both lists, and got the coupons together. Inside the envelopes is everything he needs. I'll go over it tonight with him. At CVS, we'll get about $30 worth of stuff, and we'll spend less than half that. I've got it down to a science. He'll bring me home the envelopes, and I'll use them again. I'm good, lol.

Cooking Tips:

Chop garlic and Onions in large quantities, put them in separate Ziploc baggies lay them flat in the freezer until frozen. As you cook throughout the week or month, you can just break off as much as you want without the crying and smelly hands. And it is less time you will spend cooking.

Also, lay bacon onto a cookie sheet or plate in individual pieces, freeze them, after frozen put in Ziploc baggies, they will last longer and you can grab the frozen bacon and cook it up.
