    easy, but we must have tried at least 10 times & we tried rubbing alcohol, finger nail polish, lighter fluid & 3 different kinds of strings/yarns.. We finally got one to snap in half, but that was the only one & by that point no one could remember what we had done to get that one to break. We might not had been successful in breaking the bottles in half, but we sure all had a great time trying. :) Going to have to give this another go some day.

  • Most of the stuff just collected over the years...been trying to get some spreading things to fill in but the steppables etc don't like this and other things want to overtake...so we'll see how the alyssum does.

A Photo of My Junk Pile

I have lovingly called this my junkpile for several years it was the very first thing I did to start on such a huge task as my back yard. I just threw some allysum seeds in this week to see if I can get them to grown...added some more dirt... but overall it is what it is...a junkpile that I love...its right next to our bbq area and adds loads of interest to a normally ugly spot.

Recycle Wine Corks Into Fun Keychains

I like to save my wine corks to make into keychains to give as little gifts or stocking stuffers. I have also made one for myself to keep our boat key on. Since the wine cork floats, it makes a perfect base to hold a boat key.
