Let's say I'll look at going through the box after the new year. It is up high where it's hard for me to get to right now. I'll try to remember this topic and response so that i can come back and find you to PM.

    Mahalo my friend. There might be something from our beautiful Garden Island that you would like to have in exchange. We can PM back and forth in the new year.

    Works for me. I have a second small hand surgery on the 14th of January and won't be able to lift much for a couple weeks; let's try to get to it before. Thinking about what we could trade!

    I just used a 25 yr+ bottle of Modge Podge and it worked perfectly....now white glue like Tacky and Elmers...not so much.

    For the New Year I am doing a purge and throwing away those worn out, tired items. Wish I had a better attention span too, Jan! Mine seems to be totally worn!

    I'm trying to be better with getting rid of old worn out stuff and stuff I know I won't use. But I don't think I will get rid of my buttons. For some reason, I enjoy "playing" with them.

    I'll toss an iron without a second thought; and the same goes for dull rotary blades.

    If you microwave a sponge for 2 minutes, it disinfects it. I do this every day or so! Was so glad to see this hint somewhere!
