This woman shoplifts a case of beer under her skirt.  The shoplifting isn't what shocks me.  It's the fact that she casually walks away with a case of beer between her legs and makes it appear so easy.

Handy Household Ideas

I was perusing the internet and found some great household ideas.  Honestly, some are so simple — I can’t believe I never thought of them! 

Sheet Set Storage:  Store sheet sets in one of the coordinating pillow cases.  This would completely transform my messy linen closet.

Under Sink Storage:  Use a tension rod under the kitchen sink to store spray bottles.

Wrapping Paper Storage:  Use wire above the doorway of a closet to store wrapping paper.

Gutter Herb Garden:  Use old gutters to create an herb garden.  This picture shows the gutters attached to a house.  I think I might attach old gutters to my fence (inside my backyard).
