Scrapbooking - Homemade Paper
For a unique background, try using homemade paper. This will add a wild look to your scrapbook page and is especially nice for children’s books and artwork.
You can make your own customized paper of any color and texture you want. This takes a bit of time and effort.
Alternately, soak a piece of cardstock. After a few minutes, crumple the paper a bit and then iron it flat again. This will closely approximate the appearance of homemade paper.
Homemade paper is also available at most crafts stores.
Change the oil in your car
Change the oil in your car on a regular basis. When you keep the oil in your car clean you reduce the wear that is caused by friction in the moving parts of your car’s engine.
Keeping track of your last oil change will save you money at the gas pump and increase your fuel consumption.
If you are reluctant or unable to change the oil in your car on your own make sure that you fuel up at a gas station that offers you full service.
This way you can ask the gas attendant to help you fill your car with gas as well as take a look under the hood of your car to change the oil.
