Now that Christmas is a few weeks away, I'm looking to decking out my home for the holidays and wrapping some presents to put under the tree! So I thought it would be fun to look at different ways to wrap gifts for friends and family. Eco-Friendly Wrapping Paper Lately I've been reading that many types of wrapping paper aren't eco-friendly because of added extras like dyes and glitter—not to mention that wrapping paper can be expensive, too. I really like the look of gifts wrapped in simple craft paper and tied with twine. I think it has a sweet nostalgic look. It would also be fun to Continue reading...

You can use many jewelry cleaning techniques for various types of jewelry, but when it comes to cleaning the precious gemstones in your jewelry, make sure you use the right method for your specific type of gem.

It's rewarding to work with our own hands, without the help of computers or video tutorials.  Many looking for a more self-sufficient lifestyle are embracing the idea of homesteading.
