"Why didn't I think of that?"

Just got a great pass-along email, today.  (If I knew who originated it, I'd give them credit because they went to a lot of work!  As it is, I'll be thankful my brother shared it with me.) 

Thought I’d put it someplace for ease of finding when I need a reminder of a good idea! :) What better place than my blog!?  

Hope you enjoy!
