Tipful Tuesday - New Uses for Old Things

I normally don't do a lot of web surfing, but Pinterest is another story.  ♥♥♥  I only joined Pinterest and starting pinning maybe a month ago and that site truly amazes me.  

Something that truly gets me all giddy inside is when I find a tip or trick or idea that seems so simple and I wonder....'Why didn't I think of that?' or 'Who knew?'

Most of these are probably items many of you if not all of you have around the house.  I often wonder if my little ole' blog readers know about these little life tricks and tips.  

Today, I thought I'd share some new ideas (at least new to me) to make your life just a little easier.
