Timely Tips IX

Here are your Timely Tips for this week!  What great ideas!

I wish I had known some of these tips a long time ago!

**********************************************************************

Put a dry towel in with a wet load to reduce the drying time!

Thanks to eHow for this Timely Tip!

*****************************************************************

Use hairspray on the end of your sewing thread to help it slide through the eye of your needle.

Via Real Simple

*****************************************************************

Sprinkle salt in the spaces between patio slabs and at the bottom of walls to get rid of pesky weeds.

Be careful NOT to get salt near plants you want to keep as salt will kill them!

******************************************************************

Use scrap paper to help hang an arrangement of picture frames easily. Cut templates for each frame, marking nail locations on the paper, then tack to the wall until you find the ideal arrangement. Then simply nail through the marks on the paper!

Thanks, Centsational Girl, for this tip!

********************************************************************

Place a length of masking tape along the edge of a spirit level and mark the location of nail holes for your picture frame.

Then simply transfer the level to the wall to ensure you hang your pictures straight.

Sue’s Story

I've been a professional organizer most of my adult life. Who I am and why I love my work comes from how I was raised and the mysteries of DNA!

From the most humble of beginnings in Kentucky to helping businesses and organizations across the U.S., I always try my best to share both practical and inspirational principles and techniques.

I hope you enjoy your visit here and come back often. And feel free to call or email anytime.

Even though you might reach me on my porch looking out at the Colorado Rockies, a born and bred Kentucky girl enjoys a good chat.

Order out of Chaos
