Yep, now you can create your very own personalized Kleenex tissue box!

It's oval in shape, and a one-of-a-kind original with all of the colors, photographs, and text chosen by you.

Personalized Kleenex boxes like these would be great for weddings, nurseries, grandparents, pet lovers, vacation pictures, family & class reunions, etc.

Finally... I thought of a creative use for all those little yard post signs left behind by lawn care companies!

I've written about basic tick prevention and removal methods before.

Since then, we've learned a little secret from the U.S. Military.

It's called Permethrin!

Added to my list of "weird things about my body that I might need to take care of soon" is: a Ganglion cyst.

Ugggh!

At least it's relatively harmless. Just odd-looking, that's all.

Figured I'd share some info, in case others are experiencing something similar...

A ganglion cyst is a tumor or swelling on top of a joint or the covering of a tendon (tissue that connects muscle to bone). It looks like a sac of liquid (cyst). Inside the cyst is a thick, sticky, clear, colorless, jellylike material. Depending on the size, cysts may feel firm or spongy. Source

Who doesn't like yard sales? It's such a great way to make some quick cash and get rid of clutter at the same time!

(Besides, people routinely take stuff that's been left at the curb for FREE when it's intended for the garbage, so why not sell it?)

But in my mind, preparing for a yard sale is a process (...if not an art).

Each time, I fine-tune the things I've done in the past and make mental notes of the things I want to do and not do at my next yard sale.

In order for businesses to be successful, they have to constantly reinvent themselves and create ideas that will appeal to their audiences. The key to a successful yard sale is to look at it as a business. Just like any event or product, you want to try to draw attention through advertisement and uniqueness. Although it is not a day-to-day job, you can prepare for this event in advance to ensure success." --Roxanne Ranelli

What if, at the end of the day, you're left with most of the items that you started with?...

If you want to have a successful yard sale, one of the most important things you can do is to get more people to simply notice your yard sale.

What it all comes down to is this:
It's a numbers game. The more people who a) See your sale, then b) Choose to slow down when driving by your sale, and finally c) Actually get out of the car to have a look around your sale... the higher your profits will be.

So think: "What can I do to bring attention to my sale?" Here are some things you can do at the yard sale itself...
