disney if you write a letter to a character at disney (walt disney world communications p.o. box 10040 lake buena vista, fl 32830-0040), they will send you an autographed photo back! Could be a fun project for teaching how to write a letter! gonna do this with my kids :)

Cream of "something" soup recipe
1 cup non-fat dried milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup bouillon (if you have cubes you have to smash them up)
You can use whatever kind you like (ie, beef, veggie)
4 Tablespoons freeze dried minced onions (I used the minced onions from Sam's Club)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme (I couldn't find the thyme so I used dried parsley instead)
1 teaspoon pepper
(For the equivalent of one can of condensed cream soup, mix 1/3 cup dry mix with 1 1/4 cup water. Cook until thick)
Party Chicken... Boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins wrapped in bacon and then top with a mixture of cream of chicken soup and a cup of sour cream. Cover with foil and bake at 225 for about 4 hours. Then remove foil and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. This is great for Sunday dinner...just put it in before church and it's ready by noon! The chicken is so tender and tasty...you can cut it with a fork!
Fill jar half way up with white glue (like Elmers)
Then fill jar up with water.
Shake Well.
This is a 50-50 mixture glue/water.
It will have a Matte finish.
If you would like a Glossy finish, add 1 TBS of clear varnish.
Shake it!

organize pans You can remove one pan without having to remove them all. Turn a vertical bakeware organizer on its end vertically and secure it to the cabinet wall with cable clips. Genius.
bathroom Floor-to-ceiling double shower curtains...make a small bathroom feel more luxurious.
decorating Take popsicle sticks and paint them the color of every wall in your house. Carry with you on the go to match furniture, curtains, decorations, etc. I've seen the full paint stirrer version of this but love this portable-sized idea!!
girls room paint HGTV says if you mix a gallon of glue with glitter, then paint with it. The glue will dry clear - glitter wall
spice storage Space saver: Use a mop holder to store spices on the inside of a cabinet door. great idea! Baby food jars with lids 'chalkboard' painted in drawers. Brilliant.

Holiday Stove Top Potpourri Mix
one whole orange or just the orange peel
1/2 cup cranberries
1 Tbsp. whole cloves
3 sticks of cinnamon or a small handful of small pieces of cinnamon
a bit of grated nutmeg if desired
tortillas Tortilla Mix16 C. flour (use unbleached or add up to 1/2 whole wheat)
2 Tbsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. salt (you can use a little less, but some salt really does make a difference in the flavor)
1/2 C-1C. shortening (I like about 3/4 C. of palm shortening (no trans fat!)) http://heart-hands-home.blogspot.com/search/label/Mix%20recipes
burning face mask
Recipe:1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp honey
2ish tsp lemon juice. (I used the juice from 1/4 of a lemon)
Directions:
Mix together into a thick paste. Apply on your face for half an hour... or ten minutes if you can't handle the burn! It'll only burn for the first five minutes or so and then it sort of wears off. Rinse the mask off with warm water and moisturize. NOTE: If you have sensitive skin leave out or dilute the lemon. I'm serious. I call it the burning mask for a reason! This is a mask and not to be used to exfoliate your skin. It'll hurt. Promise. Don't do it! If you leave out the lemon just use enough honey to make it paste-y. I used the creamy honey so I had to nuke it in the microwave for a few seconds to get the right consistency. You're just going for a paste though, so don't worry if the measurements are all off.
