Make Your Own Sandals

Katherine at annekata.com has created an amazing tutorial for Etsy on how to make cloth sandals. They are really beautiful. I can't wait to give these a try. I started thinking, though, of all the costumes I have made for the kids over the years and how much this tutorial would have helped!

Summer = Popsicles!

What's better than a hot summer day and a cool popsicle in your hand? Hmm... Not in the mood to cook tonight so I've been scouring the internet for summer snack ideas. I came across a great blog post and recipe over at Chez Beeper Bebe for homemade popsicles. Wow, does that take me back to childhood.

Awesome Yard Sale Mapping Tool!!

I'm so excited to share with you a tool that I have been wanting for a very long time. It's called Yard Sale Treasure Map and it maps yard sales in your area that have been posted on Craigslist. You can also manually add more sales that you may know of in your local paper. Once all the sales have been entered, you can search for particular items that have been posted. The best feature, in my opinion, is the optimize route feature. Take a look and see if this doesn't make your yard sale experience a whole lot better.
