Here is an amazing idea that brought a tear to our eyes and a lump to our throats from our friends at Pinterest!

Fill a room with memories, literally!  This idea could be used for just about any occasion (engagement, birthday party, divorce, bat mitzvah, etc).

Things You Will Need:

Latex Balloons
Helium Tank
Photos or mementos from the honored guests life.

There are two ways to go about this, at least.

WAY 1 (Great for intimate occasions like an engagement or to announce your spouse you are expecting):

The host works alone and does all the work in terms of collecting the items, photos, etc.

WAY 2 (Great for more public events such as graduations, birthdays, or anniversaries):

The host asks/emails the guests and asks each of them to supply a memento or photo that will mean something to the person.  The host should supply a deadline for submissions.  Than the host puts the room together by inflating the balloons and attaching the items.  Then the guest can arrive and bob among the balloons squealing with surprise.

Here is another wildly successful idea we found on Pinterest!

Make any food stored in a plastic bag (IE chocolate chips, jelly beans, brown sugar) with great idea. All you need is the top section of a soda or sports drink bottle.  In this case, the picture really is worth 1000 words!

Here is a wonderful idea we found on Pinterest!

Slide rubber bands (Kathleen prefers the bands that cluster asparagus because of their width and color) on to your coat hanger (wire, plastic, wood, or otherwise) to prevent your silky garments from slipping off to the floor!

What The Sheet!!!

Here is a collection of great alternative uses for everyday dryer sheets!

- Deodorize anything smelly (Gym bags, diaper bag, shoes, bottom of a wastebasket, etc) with a dryer sheet!

- Clean your iron!  Set it on low, and iron a dryer sheet.  It will help to release any build up.

- Tame a wild needle and thread.  Simply run your need and thread through a dryer sheet to reduce tangling and make the need glide with ease!

- Eliminate pesky static from your clothes and hair.  Just give the effected area a rub with a dryer sheet to reduce the fly aways!
