What should we do with all the stuff we have in our house if we do not have enough storage space or closet? Should we simply close our eyes and throw it or should we buy decorative boxes to hide? This seems to be my biggest problem. Waiting company and so I tried to clean, but I still run into the same problem I had for a long time. I have new items that I want to read the paperwork, I want to finish, some form of art or computer project that I want to work on, or things that I brought from the shop that I have laying around the living room or dining room. As I begin to clean, I must first do something with all these “extras.” Then I began to collect everything and take it to “table” in my room where nobody goes, but me and my husband. The problem with that is that whenever I have company, which is always where the “extras” and eventually “the table is now piled so high that I forgot some of the mess below . Well, now I have to put it all away but I have nowhere to put it. This is one of the greatest challenges of my life. I wish I had more space to keep things that are important to me, but my house is simply not big enough. So I have to decide what I want to keep and what I need to throw. Unfortunately, many years of marriage and education have left me way too much to store. This leads to problems with parts of my house is a mess, even if the “stuff” is very important to the family, and many plans and projects that are left unattended, but must be taken. Examples of some of the things I’ve collected this year: the birthday cards from my children, Valentine and birthday cards from my wife and new clothes that do not need to return to the store. I have a box of memories of my children and 12 years of photos I started to sort of Christmas presents for each of my children. I have not finished the job but I still “Plan” to get it. There is a bag of baby clothes for a baby shower, plus a bag of clothes (some new and still have price tags on them), another bag of gently used clothing and assorted stuff that I made to give away to charity. All these things always end up in my room every time the company has, somehow, they never caught they belong to or taken from my room. Let us discuss my plan.

Wonderful Christmas Songs From Old Films
While the holiday season once more rolls around, the familiar strains of well known Christmas carols sing out from radio and television. First came the carolers walking around the small village neighborhood singing carols in exchange for a mug of hot beverage to warm them as they sang their way through the night. And then came radios echoing the beautiful strains of Joy to the World as well as Silent Night. And so was the advent of television and many Christmas shows were created. These shows became the yearly Christmas classics that we love and enjoy. The reknowned “A Christmas Carol” written by Charles Dickens, adapted for television has become a classic of these shows. Who does not know the tale of this old stingy, avaricious, selfish and vindictive man called Ebenezer Scrooge, who became a kind, generous and grandfatherly gentleman? Many carols are largely and regularly featured in any adaptation you care to watch. The lyrics of “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”, “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” and “Silent Night” are sung by a multitude of young boys hoping to get a reward from their performance; consisting of a mug of the warm alcoholic and spicy drink and some cakes. Who can forget James Stewart in his role in “It’s a Wonderful Life”? How the entire family is gathered around the Christmas tree singing Joy to the World after Clarence the angel shows him what life would have been like for the others around him had he not been born. What a wonderful life indeed. Then, naturally, there is one of the most watched movies with the best selling Christmas song ever. . . I am talking about “White Christmas” sung by the only, the unique, the reknowned Bing Crosby! This Christmas song is nowadays regarded as the most popular in the world!Who does not remember the wonderful “Christmas Special” held by Bing Crosby for many years? In fact, each one of these shows had a huge number of movie-stars like Fred Astaire, Mary Martin, Andre Previn. . . Every guest would have to sing a Christmas song such as “White World of Winter”, “Jingle Bells”, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, and many more; alone or in duet with Bing Crosby. Bing Crosby’s last Christmas show was unforgettable as David Bowie did a duet with Bing Crosby. “The Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth” was performed by these two big names in the world of music. Just like White Christmas, it is for sure one of the most wonderful Christmas songs ever produced.
Artwork From Old CDs – Five Projects to Make With CDs Instead of Throwing Them Away
What do you do with those old CDs that you can’t use anymore? There’s a long tradition of making art from old CDs dating back to the days when AOL shipped out millions of CDs to mailboxes all over the country. CD arts and crafts have become even more popular as the importance of recycling has grown. Check out these ideas for making art from old CDs. Coasters from Old CDs Years ago, computer programmers around the world figured out that an AOL CD was the perfect thing to keep coffee rings off your desktop. It’s just the right size for the bottom of a coffee mug. Since then, crafters have offered dozens of variations on the old coffee coasters from old CDs meme. The basic process is simple. Decorate one side of the CD as desired. Cut a felt circle the same size as the CD. Glue the felt circle to the undecorated side of the CD. Need ideas for decorating your CD coasters? Here’s just a few: Make a photo collage by gluing photos to cover the front of the CD. Cover with clear adhesive paper. Paint a design with acrylic paints. Make a 3-D CD coaster by cutting out pieces of 2-3 CDs, stacking them so that the cutouts reveal the CDs below, and topping the stack with a clear spacer CD. Engrave the shiny side of the CD with a Dremel tool. Disco Ball from Old CDs There are several different versions of CD Disco Balls out there ranging from Christmas ornament size to full-size take-it-to-the-club balls. Again, the basic process for making a disco ball from old CDs is the same, no matter what the size. Start with a ball form for the core. A styrofoam ball works well. Cut old CDs into rectangular pieces with snips. Glue the old CD pieces to the ball shiny side out. Add a hanging string and hang it up. The finished CD ball makes a great sun catcher. Photo Frames from Old CDs Old CDs are also the perfect size to serve as a frame for a standard size photograph. There are ways to turn unused CDs into photo magnets, photo holders and photo frames. The process varies, depending on the finished product. One of the most innovative CD photo frames uses this method. Cut photo to fit CD. Glue photo to CD back. Glue a strip of hook and loop tape like Velcro to the back. Make several. “Hang” photos on the wall by sticking the fuzzy side of the Velcro tape to the wall. Using Velcro tape to hang the photos makes it very easy to rearrange photos to your heart’s content. CD Suncatchers and Mobiles The reflective coating on CDs makes them perfect sun catchers and reflectors. Whether they’re hung in a window or in the middle of a ceiling, alone or in groups, old CDs and sunlight can turn a bedroom into a rainbow. This is the easiest way to turn a CD into a sun-catching decoration. Use a Dremel tool or electric drill with a fine drill bit to drill holes in the CD. For a sun catcher, drill one hole about 1/4 inch from the edge of the disc. Hang from a suction cup hook holder. For a mobile, drill several holes evenly spaced around the rim of the disc. Use monofilament thread to make a hanging loop, and to hang other CDs at different heights around the disc. CD Room Divider A room divider made from old, unused CDs is a much more ambitious project. It requires 20 to 40 CDs, depending on the size of the divider, and some carpentry skills. The frame can be made from wood, metal or plastic, and can be any size, as long as the center is open. Make an open frame out of wood or any other material. Space cup hooks evenly along inside top and bottom edges of the frame. Use a Dremel or rotary drill to make holes on the edges of the CDs. String CDs together using varying lengths of monofilament threads. Make as many strands of CDs as there are pairs of hooks. Loop one end of monofilament thread over each hook in the top frame. Stretch down to loop the bottom end of the strand over the bottom hook, making sure to keep the strand taut. There are literally dozens of ways to upcycle those old CDs and keep them out of the landfills. These are just a few of the best ones out there.

What Christmas Ornaments Can Be Made From Soda Cans?
Here in Salt Lake City, there’s a Christmas fundraiser called “Festival of Trees”, which benefits a local children’s hospital. You submit a tree which is auctioned off, and the proceeds go to the hospital. I’m submitting a tree, and I’m going to use only diet coke cans and lights to decorate it. Please help me come up with the ideas for cutting, folding, or punching the cans and manipulating them into stunning decorations! Be descriptive – you can even email me at Lmevans79@yahoo.com if you want to submit a sketch or photograph. Thanks!
