w w - what to do?


When Marc and I were planning our wedding, we had every single detail mapped out. My friend Cindy (and her mom) made the beautiful flower arrangements that went on the main tables at the reception. We bought these individual bud vases to go on the other tables scattered in the other rooms at the reception... Well, my mom didn't like the idea. I did, we wanted to put daisies in those vases and they could also be taken home by our guests...

Now, over 2 years have passed since we were married and we still have around 50 of those bud vases! I tried selling them in my yard sale and tried selling them on craigslist... LOL, I even went to the local flower shops here to see if they would buy them...
No go, so guess what? I am keeping them until someone buys them, or I come up with a really crafty idea to use them!
Any suggestions?

Also, do not forget to enter my giveaway... ends this week!

    What if you donated them to a school for a craft project or something???

    either grab flowers from your yard or a couple of store bouquets and fill the vases with 1/2 flowers and take to local nursing homes and distribute. Or give to scouts/camp fire for them to do so!

    Check with churchs. My church asks for vases every now and then to break up the larger alter displays on Sunday. They take the bud vases with flowers to shutins. I would also check with school art departments. They might be able to use them in a project with their students.

    No ideas, offhand, but you might want to link this post up to Works for Me Wednesday: today is a Backwards edition, where you ask a question and readers answer it. I'm sure someone will have a great suggestion!

    Have you thought about donating them to a Nursing Home? Sometimes they use them to put donated flowers on the tables at meal times.

    I don't have a suggestion on how to sell them, but if you wanted to be rid of them you could always donate them to the activity dept. at an assisted living center or nursing home. They would make for cheery centerpieces that would be enjoyed by the residents.

    How were you posting on Craigslist? Be sure to post in the wedding section. There are always brides - such as yourself - looking for centrepiece ideas.
    I like the idea to donate to the church or nursing home.

    Those are so pretty. I can't believe they don't sell. I hope you find a good cause for them soon. LOL

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
