What is your preferred type of album?
Comments (24)I am definitely a "3 ring binder with page protectors" scrapper. I started making these scrapbooks this way before I had even heard of Creative Memories and they work great for me. I definitely like the flexibility it affords me to move pages as I am organizing. Norma - I am in the middle of doing a heritage scrapbook of my maternal family. It sure is fun but a lot of work! Where have you gotten some of your ideas for arranging pictures on the pages? Do you have any advice for the heritage scrapper? I would love to hear any ideas and suggestions. I am looking for 5X7 embossed frames with rectangular centers but can't find any. They only carry ovals. Any ideas? Thanks! :-)...See MoreWhat's your onion preference?
Comments (44)bbstx, if the scapes (the little bulbs on top) are cut off, the bulb on the bottom will grow bigger. The scapes taste like mild garlic and can be eaten/cooked with. Scapes are the result of hard necked garlic sending up that flower stalk, although they don't actually bloom. The stalk will curl around, I was always told to cut them when they were a circle. The stalk in some varieties straightens out as it gets bigger and the bigger it gets the tougher it is so the scapes should be cut while it's still young and tender. You don't HAVE to cut them, you'll still get a garlic bulb underground, but the bulb will be bigger if the scapes are cut. I've never grown garlic from seed, only from cloves of garlic, so I'm only assuming it will reseed itself if the scape is left. When half of the outer leaves of the garlic plant die, it's time to pull the garlic and use it, the bulb grows under the ground. Annie...See MoreWhat size drawers do you prefer in your kitchen?
Comments (13)It depends on what you want to store in the drawers. E.g., if you just one "layer" for silverware, then I would get one with a shallower top drawer. Personally, I don't like "stacked" rollouts in the same drawer; IMO, that defeats some of the purposes of having drawers (one movement to open/close). Separators, though, can be useful. Maybe not bins so much as they waste space, but separators don't waste nearly as much. I have one 4-drawer stack that has 3 shallower drawers with a deeper bottom drawer (we use as our "bread drawer"). In the shallow drawers, I (1) silverware, (2) foil/plastic bags/wraps, and (3) electrical (extensions cords and the like) My suggestion is to plan your storage -- look at your layout and determine what dishes, tools, utensils, pot holders, etc., you need in each Zone and select your drawer options accordingly. Here's an example of a storage plan:...See MoreWhat types of wood do you prefer for your dining tables?
Comments (11)IMO wood is a poor choice if kids do arts and crafts there so no matter what wood you choose you will need to have a cover on thetable for the kids so really not a huge issue as to type of wood. I agree we need pics of your space . I only ever had one wood table and that was an antique one with old oak that was not deep grained but really beurtiful now all the oak is crappy open grained fast growing oak not at all like the old stuff. I have always had a glass topped table one with a metal base ( Corbusier) and the other with a beechwood base and an expandable glass top . The old Corbusier is now our outdoor table and has stood up to canadian winters for 16 yrs we don't even cover it ....See Moreseil zone 6b MI
