Handmade Coasters – Great Gifts
Here’s an idea “stolen” from a message board, on how to create inexpensive coasters. You can use larger tiles to make trivets too.
I took ceramin tiles (4×4) and decoupaged photos/prints on them. If you get them from a wholesale supplier, they were cheaper. I am getting them for $0.17 each – so a set [...]

Where the heck is Kafooster?
The Queen of Kafooster is a wickedly funny mother of two energetic boys. Her post about the “insignificant booger” is a must-read. She’s a great Portland Parent who we’d love to keep tabs on. And if Obama doesn’t fix the US, we’d be happy to move to Kafooster, wherever that is. We [...]
