Fresher-smelling blankets - Before tucking winter blankets away for the season, place a fabric softener sheet between the folds. They'll smell nice and fresh next winter.

Neater crafting - Use an old phone book as a cutting surface. As the top pages become sliced and worn, tear them off, and you have a fresh surface to work on.

Perkier flowers - Always cut flower stems under water. No air bubbles will form to stop the free flow of water into the stem.

Prettier garden - Prevent animals from digging up flowers by putting a piece of lattice on the ground and planting in the small openings. Animals won't be able to get under the lattice to dig.

Odor-free Paint - Eliminate paint odor by placing a plate filled with salt in the room. It will "Soak up" the odor.

Smoke-less broiling - Add a cup of water to the bottom of the broiling pan before broiling. The water absorbs grease and prevents smoke.

Easier Potato Salad - When preparing potato salad, cut the cooked potatoes with an egg-slicer. It saves time and protects your hands from getting burned.

Rust-free tools - Protect shovels, hoes and other gardening tools by coating them with cooking spray before use. The spray will prevent the metal from rusting and make cleanup easier.

Foolproof picture hanging - To arrange pictures expertly on a wall, make templates of each picture out of paper bags. Use small pieces of masking tape to arrange the "pictures" before hammering the nails.

Fresher carnations - Putting a little boric acid in the water will keep carnations looking great longer.

Safer toddlers - Place a piece of colored tape at eye level on a glass door. This will protect toddlers from walking into the door when it's closed.

Better pie crust - Sprinkle a pie crust with granulated sugar before putting the cream filling in, then bake as usual. The sugar will keep the crust from getting soggy.

Prettier window boxes - Put a layer of gravel on top of the soil in window boxes. The gravel will prevent rain from splattering dirt onto windows.

No-tangle tongs - Keep your kitchen drawers neat and tangle-free by storing tongs inside a paper-towel tube.

No more ants - Keep ants away by planting mint, lavender, chives and garlic. They hate the smell of these plants.

Eye protector - An old pair of swimming goggles will protect your eyes from paint splatters and drips when painting ceilings!

I use my old fold-up luggage roller to hold my recycling bin. When it comes time to recycle my newspapers, I just roll them out to the curd!
