Printed Wall Art, Fast! – Free Template Download

ElleDoesIt — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:39:28 +0000

Art doesn't have to be overly large and complex. In fact, if you can imagine it, you can create it as art. I needed two pieces of artwork - cheaply and quickly! - to replace two self-portraits my kids didn't believe represented them well anymore (they felt their own images were too childish!). Not wanting to spend oodles of money and lots of time shopping, I decided to use this as an opportunity to drive home a message I repeat often: Stay Focused.

McDonald’s Tray Gone Gourd Holder

ElleDoesIt — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:50:39 +0000

I planted gourds for the first time in my garden this year. I was excited to see them grow to the point where I felt comfortable snipping them from the long, winding stems. I should say, I'm using the word "comfortable" loosely. I would loved to have left the gourds on the vine a lot longer, but circumstances demanded I remove them a bit sooner. However, I'm pleased with the...

Pretty Beaded Vases Need a Name

ElleDoesIt — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 00:07:51 +0000

I have started a collection of pretty beaded vases that have come to me with no name and no information. I am assuming these items are of little monetary value. I adore them because they look great en masse. So far I have collected 8 with hopes of finding more.

Good Ol’ Spit – Nature’s Iodine?

ElleDoesIt — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:17:21 +0000

I use lots and lots of quirky sayings in my normal conversations. Some things I say seem to be rarely used by other people, so much so that sometimes people don't understand what I'm talking about. Hmm, and here's an example: "Put some spit on it. That's nature's iodine." This makes perfect sense to me, but not quite so...

File Manager for Firefox

ElleDoesIt — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 18:01:26 +0000

Seems there would already be one already created, but I’m having a hard time finding a file manager to use inside my Firefox browser. I completed the obvious search with the terms “file” and “manager”, even tossed in “explorer” for good measure. I’ve used a file manager before but am having no luck finding it or something similar. In addition, it would...

Turn a Monitor Into a Mirror

ElleDoesIt — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 17:45:47 +0000

I’d like to use the screen of my laptop computer as a mirror! This may seem odd, and.. well, it is. Seems plenty of other people find this to be an off-the-wall request as well (I searched question/answer sites and people were downright hostile). I find it to be a very valid request (however odd) and I’m sure...
