Make Your Wedding Favors for Cheap!
The question most brides-to-be or couples getting married have is How do I make wedding favors for cheap? Before I begin to answer this question, I want to establish one thing. When using the word cheap, it doesnt mean that youre not giving it all you have. Youve already spent a lot of money to make this day perfect. Therefore, here are some cheap or inexpensive ways to make wedding favors. Save yourself a little money, you could even use it on the honeymoon!!
Here are some really cool ideas to save money and get two things done at once:
Flower Arrangements
Make a small flower arrangement for each table setting. This can serve as both a favor for your guest and decorations for the table. You can normally find little glass containers at Wal-Mart or the Dollar Store for pretty cheap. Add some of your favorite flower(s) or a flower of your favorite color. You can even make it seasonal depending on when your wedding is. Have fun! Be creative!
Candles
I know, everybody suggests candles for wedding favors. But find your favorite shape or scent and give each of your guests a small candle. This will make it personal for your guest. It will tell your guest you wanted them there and make them feel special. Use tulle and/or ribbon to make it more festive!
Small Frames One of my favorites!
You can find small frames and make them place card holders. Each of your guest will have a frame to take home with them. If you dont want to assign seating, put a special message or quote in each frame. Your guest will have a special way of remembering you!
Wine Glass Markers
Make wine glass markers with some wire and beads. Then find a small box and wrap ribbon around it. You need one for each guest. It will also be helpful to keep each others wine glasses separate!
Personalized CD of you and your fiances favorite songs!
You can buy CDs at Office Depot, Staples, Wal-Mart, etc for cheap. Then decide on 10 or so songs to put on there. Burn them to the CD; attach a label or write on each one. You can buy print-on labels wherever you buy the CDs. Then give each guest one! Its a cool personal gift.
You can pull off your big day and save some money. Dont make it look cheap either. Make and create your wedding favors for cheap!! You can do it!! Remember to have fun and be creative!!!

How To Make a Money Tree
Would you like to make money even when you are not at work? The secret is to design a business at home that will continue to pay you even if you stop working. This is what's called residual income. You can learn how to make a money tree that, once cultivated, continues to make you money with just a little bit of maintenance.
Residual income is a lot like earning royalties for writing a popular book or creating a pop song. You just work hard on it in the beginning and let the money flow in day and night for years to come.
Is residual income just a foolish dream? There are many enterprising people that turned their dream of earning residual income into reality. They learned how to make a money tree by understanding the business models available about creating residual income. You can also start learning these principles and start making your own residual income.
Writing a book is one of the most popular techniques of creating residual income, but there are many types of products that you can make such as software programs or even a physical product. The secret ingredient is to design your business of selling your product to be as automated as possible. One of the best methods on how to make a money tree is to set up your business so that you don't have to continue working as hard later.
You already have an idea of how this works when you write a book. Traditionally you would sign up with a publishing company to earn royalties or sell your book by yourself. You did the hard part of writing and perfecting the book. Then the fun part happens when you publish your book and collect your profits each time your book sells.
You can also sell a product by creating an online sales page on the Internet that will convince your audience of the benefits of purchasing it. The online sales page will continue to sell your product for you once you complete setting it up.
Everyone usually has a special knowledge or skill about a particular topic. Anyone can most likely find a topic worth writing about. If the thought of getting your book printed and shipped to your buyers seems a little daunting, then you can easily write your book in PDF format that buyers can download from your website immediately after purchasing it.
Create a professional sales page to share lots of information about your product with your prospective buyer. Brush up on your marketing skills and remember to automate the system as much as possible. Learn how to make a money tree and you will make a system that will sell your work even when you don't.
If you are not ready to create your own product yet, you can make an online system selling other people's product and earn commissions. Many online businesses make use of affiliate programs to easily grow their sales force. Joining an affiliate program is free and the businesses will share their profits through commissions.
Once you do develop a book or product of your own, you can get your own sales force by starting your own affiliate program. The affiliates you recruit will refer customers to you and you compensate them through the sales they generate. This is another great example of residual income. Learn how to make a money tree and you will have the knowledge to build another on top of another until you have an orchard of money trees all earning you multiple streams of income. You could be living your dream life so learn how to make a money tree!

Housebreaking 101
Remember that dog who just knew you didn't want her piddling in the house? Some dogs just need a slight sense of disapproval from you, and they virtually housebreak themselves.
But you dont have one of those dogsor you wouldnt be reading this!
So how do we house train the dog who just doesnt seem to get it? Believe it or not, its simple.
I have two key words for you:
Confine and Observe.
While there is a great deal to know about food and water scheduling, timing can vary from dog to dog. So well just concentrate here on the main concept which is to confine your dog to an appropriately sized crate when you cannot observe her.
A properly sized crate is large enough for your dog to stand up and turn around, but hardly bigger than that. If you have a puppy in a large crate, shell think shes got a bedroom with a bathroom built in. Shell wee in one corner and sleep in the other.
The correctly sized crate consists of bedroom only with no bathroom. So if your crate is too large, go to the pet store and purchase a crate divider so you can temporarily reduce the accessible area.
Fido should be in her crate unless you can observe her 100%. This means that when the dog is loose, she has your undivided attention. Consider attaching a 6 foot light cord to the collar so you can more easily locate the dog, and prevent her from leaving the room without you. Simply step on the cord to stop her.
At the first sign your dog needs to go, whisk her outside. Those signs include circling, sniffing, anxiousness, whining among other symptoms.
When youre not observing your dog with full attention, you confine her to the crate. That being said, you do need to ensure your dog has liberty periodically so shes not all day in the crate. By being diligent now, youll be able to give Fido years of liberty with no worries. So its well worth the investment in time at this stage.
Be sure you spend time playing with your dog, and also let her wander outside the crate. Avoid tossing her in the crate as punishment. Alleviate your guilt feelings by placing bones smeared with peanut butter in with her.
This method makes it impossible for your dog to have an accident. Youre either right there to take her out, or shes in the crate where she wont want to go. When youve had a month with no accidents, you can begin to let the dog earn a little more liberty, five or ten minutes at a time.
That means she can be out of your sight for a few moments at a time. But only a few. You want to build slowly on a record of success until your dog literally forgets that the house ever contained a bathroom.
For each week with no accident, you can give Fido a few more moments of liberty at a time. However, if there is an accident, go back a step, and reduce that liberty. One accident in the house erases progress made for the several previous days.
Confine and Observe your way to house breaking success. In the course of just two or three months, youll have a dog you can trust in the home. Its going to be worth the effort!
