    Tips for Redeeming Warranties

    BySharon Williams March 9, 2013February 13, 2018

    When we make a purchase, there is one word I am always looking for – warranty! There are many products that claim they will last for 5, 7 or 10 years. If a company feels confident to promise that their product will last for a certain number of years, I often think they should stand…

    Vintage Ammo Trunk into Art

    BySharon Williams February 20, 2013February 13, 2018

    Back in the 80’s, my Grandmother found an old vintage ammo trunk. It was drab, boring and utterly uninspiring. But Grandmother Oldham had an eye for art. She knew how to take something that had no appeal and transform it into a thing of beauty. Recently I was at my Mom’s house and saw her…

    Recycle Your Hobby Collections

    BySharon Williams January 15, 2013January 15, 2013

    Most people go through stages with their hobbies. Take a minute and think about your hobby journey so far. Maybe as a child you collected buttons, legos, or marbles. Maybe you went through a baseball card stage, stamps or postcards. Many adults who travel may collect spoons, thimbles or magnets. Some people go through stages…

    Plarn Crocheted Plastic Bags

    BySharon Williams January 14, 2013February 10, 2023

    Do you know what PLARN is? If you say no, you are in good company. Up until 4 days ago, I had never heard the word plarn. But one night I was working late and got a little sidetracked looking for ideas on how to do a crocheted rag rug and discovered some crocheted plastic…

    What do we tell the kids?

    BySharon Williams December 14, 2012December 14, 2012

    Today, I watched Facebook come alive with status updates, news links and cries of Why? I found myself crying as more and more details emerged, till finally I had to stop working, walk away from my computer and phone and just process the tragic news coming from Connecticut. My 10 year old son wanted to…

    Christmas List Fiasco

    BySharon Williams December 12, 2012December 11, 2012

    One year my Mom decided she had figured out a no-fail way to keep us from figuring out what the Christmas gifts were. Her idea was going to settle all the sneaking under the tree that naturally happens when you have 2 young teens and a elementary school boy excited about Christmas. Since the title…

    Turn Kids Clothes Into Cash

    BySharon Williams November 29, 2012March 4, 2018

    Many times kids outgrow their clothes faster than they wear them out.  You have options once you find yourself with a stack of clothes.  We often pass them on to friends and family, or donate them to our resource center. But sometimes you need a little cash and need to find a way to turn…
