Easter is a great time to capture family photographs for
scrapbooking. Even if you don't scrapbook, planning your picture
taking ahead of time ensures you won't miss any of these great
family memories. No family traditions? Then this is a great time
to start!

Installing Ceramic Tile
Ceramic Tile brings a texture, richness and color to a room
that Linoleum has yet to truly mimic. Tile floors can be
installed in any room, however they are most frequently seen
in Bathrooms and Kitchens. I particularly like them in
entryways, where they serve as a transition point from the
outside to large carpeted or hardwood floored rooms. They
make for easy clean up and are impervious to water damage.

by Rachel Greenberg
We have all heard the many benefits of working at home – set your
own hours, spend more time with your family, avoid the commute, etc.
And many people (including myself!) have actually reaped these
benefits. But one thing we aren't told is that for some of us,
one unfortunate side effect of being at home all day is weight gain.

A HISTORY & COSTUMING FOR HALLOWEEN!
by Patricia F. Doering, Editor, Second Hand News
Did you realize that Halloween is second only to Christmas in popularity? And that it had its roots more than 2500 years ago when the Celts, a northern England cult, celebrated the end of each harvest with a huge feast and celebration? Originally more like Thanksgiving, the Celts dressed in elaborate costumes and celebrated the departure of local souls. Later, after Christianity spread throughout that area, this festival which occurred on Nov. 1 became known as "All Hallows Day" and the evening before celebration became known as "All Hallows Eve," which was eventually shortened to "Halloween."

A GUIDE TO SECOND HAND SHOPPING
by Patricia F. Doering, Editor, Second Hand News
I drive a second hand car, wear second hand clothes, read second hand
books and watch second hand movies on a second hand TV. set.
Everywhere I go, I see second hand furniture, second hand rugs,
second hand jewelry, second hand utensils and second hand treasures --
the latter passed on and on from one generation to another. Even one
of my cats is second hand!
How many people do you know who have never visited a garage sale,
thrift shop or an estate sale? And when buying thrift store clothing
in the fifties was frowned upon (who would want to wear someone
else's clothing?!), today it's the chic thing to do. Not only is
garage sale, estate sale, rummage sale and thrift store buying the in
thing to do, it's the best possible way to find treasures and save
tons of money at the same time. Where else can you find name label
clothing such as Donna Karan, Liz Claiborne, Armani or Escada
garments for around 40% less than retail? But even at that, you may
have to hunt to find expensive, name label items on sale. And
although thrift store clothing is usually far lower in price than
what a vintage shop might sell it for, finding something vintage in
thrift stores may be difficult, unless you go as often as you can or
visit thrift store boutiques.

I found this open letter today in my Articles folder.
Even though it was released for 9/1, I couldn't resist publishing it.
Hey, if Billy can take the time
to write such a touching letter to his wife, the least I can do

Too Many Clothes in Your Closet? Organize a Clothes Swap!
Marcia Passos Duffy
©Copyright 2004
I bumped into a friend at the supermarket the other day. She
eyed my sweater a bit too enviously. "Love that color," she
said. "Do you want to get rid of it?" We both laughed and I
politely told her to take her paws off. It wasn't ready to
be swapped - not yet.

Operating a home business is seldom easy and interruptions come
in all shapes, sizes and forms.
Between the family, friends and neighbors who call or come by,
and the telemarketers who insist on ringing your number off the
hook, getting through the workday can be a real challenge.
When you introduce children into the home office environment,
your productivity and patience can be seriously tested.
