Handy Tip of the Week


If you're like me you run out of tape (and all other adhesives) pretty often. With holiday wrapping season coming up we can't afford to be left high and dry. But I've found an amazing substitute.


Soggy Fruity Pebbles Cereal!


Yesirree. These colorful little devils go on easily and harden like concrete in minutes. I've tested their sticking power on terry cloth, tile grout and toddler hair. It takes some real elbow grease to get them loose. They'll adhere denim to wooden chair seats and have no problem sticking to the rubbery sole of a shoe....that is at least until they come in contact with the surface they are most attracted to....carpet fibers.


For the low, low price of just $4 a box you can have an almost endless supply of emergency adhesive, in a rainbow of beautiful colors, that will keep you wrapping (or cleaning) until the wee hours on Christmas Eve. Go out and buy a box TODAY!!!


That's what's (NOT!) working for me this week. For more Works for Me Wednesday tips go to Rocks In My Dryer.



Disclaimer:

To those of you who followed this link in the hopes of seeing a real tip, I apologize. But I'll make it up to you with a giveaway. How's that?


Tomorrow join me right here at http://www.bricck.blogspot.com/ for a Holiday Giveaway Carnival hosted by the girls at Internet Cafe Devotions. There'll be plenty of great giveaways to enter and lots of wonderful prizes. I can't reveal what mine is until tomorrow so be sure to come back and see.

I stopped buying it! After countless times the tweens would not rinse their dishes out after eating them-I went on strike from Fruity Pebbles. Never again. It is better than superglue I swear.

It's my favorite cereal. In fact probably about the only cereal I like to eat. Makes me wonder what it does to our insides once it gets in there though. Yabadabdooo!!!!

No kidding! In my house it seems like someone is always leaving a bowl with dried fruity pebbles in the sink. How hard is it to rinse them first?! : )

Hmmmm...maybe you've actually discovered their true purpose!
