Peanut Butter?? Not just for PBJ's....

I made homemade potpourri this year as part of our Christmas present to all of the married couples in our families.  I bought a few spices at Trader Joe's and I LOVED the shape & style of the jars!!  They were the perfect size for storing some of my scrapbooking supplies....BUT they all had labels on them!

I soaked them in hot water, and a lot of the paper came off....but not the sticky stuff...

I then washed them multiple times in the dishwater....

NOPE!

Finally, I googled it...and found ALL SORTS OF IDEAS!!

The only supply we actually had (outta the MULTIPLE great ideas) was peanut butter!

....SooooOOOooo....I smeared it all over the jars......


...my husband was in awe....

Actually, his exact words were, "I hope this works...that could make a LOT of peanut butter sandwiches!"

{Sigh.....MEN!}

I let it sit for two days...JUST in case....cuz, ya know, I was at my WITS end!

....and WA-LAH....


No more stickiness!!

Now, I need to get them decorated and then FILL them with my scrapbooking supplies!!

"So Fresh & So Clean, CLEAN!!"

NannyGoat came up with a way to miraculously CLEAN her gas stove top grates. I am ALWAYS looking for ways/ideas to make life easier....and this SIMPLE way to clean 'de grates was one to bookmark!
The BEFORE & AFTER pics speak for themselves!! HOW did she do it?? So simple! She put them in a ziplocked baggie, sprayed some ammonia in there, sealed it, and let it sit overnight.

WA-LAAAHHH!! Gor-geous grates! This will come in handy since we now have a gas stove!

Clean MuCh??

OK...so I am not a mom yet...BUT I have heard enough horror stories from friends & family about the things your precious darlings can do to homes.....that I thought I better make sure I KNOW what takes crayon off couches, syrup out of carpet, stains outta clothing, and so forth BEFORE they arrive. (Or at least get a head start!) Crazy Crafty Cousins posted about the cleaning product above...and now swears by it. Read her story HERE.
(P.S. Someone else who reads her blog did an Internet search and supposedly you can find this product at ACE Hardware, Albertsons, Rite Aid and Bed, Bath & Beyond.)
