These DIY Halloween candles are great for a simple last minute Halloween decoration because they’re so very quick and easy to make! We never celebrated Halloween when I was a kid.

How to Avoid Losing Things When You Have a Really Deep Pantry! thelinkssite.com

That’s because it is a nice big deep pantry that looks like it will be great for storing lots of stuff. The problem is that the shelves are too deep. After a while quite a bit of stuff gets lost at the back of the pantry and you tend to forget it is even there! The shelves in my pantry are about 50 cm (20 inches) deep and it is an L shaped … [Read more...]
