How many times have you purchased bottles of Starbucks or soda in the grocery store and they come in little cardboard cartons with handles, and it feels like such a waste to throw them away.
Well I've got a few ideas over at The Centsible Life today on how you can use these around your home.

If you are looking for a simple 4th of July party drink for your upcoming celebration, I've got the perfect one for you.
I'm also going to show you how you can take one of your kids old toys and turn it into a test tube beverage holder, perfect for parties.
This project has been on my to-do list for a couple of years. I know, some may think that my craft room is full of stuff that probably needs to be tossed out, but I swear it all has a reason for being there, sometimes it just takes me a little while to get around to doing the projects I have in mind.

I'm a collector of cheap shirts. Whenever I see plain shirts or tops on sale that will fit the kids I always pick up a couple in a size that will fit them now and the next size up. We use these to decorate our own fun shirts for the kids to wear, it's so much cheaper than buying pre-printed/decorated shirts, although we do occasionally purchase those too if we find them on clearance.
This cute blue top was $5 at Target. It's a racerback shirt with a cute bow on the back. I thought it needed a little something on the front too, and Miss M is all about bling and glitter and rhinestones.

Looking for a fun craft project to do with the kids this wekeend? I'm over at Multiples and More (once again attempting to clear out those rocks from my 'rock garden') where the kids and I have been painting rocks that can be used for table decor, place settings, and to hold down those napkins.

Today, June 14th is National Flag Day.
Looking for a simple craft project to do with the kids today? They will love this one.
Supplies needed:
Glue the craft sticks as shown. Paint the blue section first, then paint alternate red and white craft sticks. You can either freehand the star, or use a small cookie cutter or stamp. Thread beads onto a pipecleaner and attach by wrapping around the craft sticks that are on each side of the flag.
