Tips and Tricks Tuesday #12 - Regrouping Your Plates



BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE DETAILS FOR ALL THREE NEW LINKY PARTIES HERE AT THE COTTAGE!

Welcome to the twelfth Tips & Tricks Tuesday linky party here at the Brambleberry Cottage.

Well, it's the time of week again when we get to share all our wonderful tips and tricks with the rest of the blogosphere.

Want a totally terrific tip on how to use coffee filters for something other than coffee? 

Go visit Amanda @ The Penny Parlor for a super tutorial on how to make this fabulous wreath out of–you guessed it–coffee filters!

Olivia @ Olivia's Romantic Home creates some of the most romantic vignettes around her house–using common materials. 

Check out her unusual choice for this lovely lampshade redo.

I've always been a farmgirl at heart, and truly love being one for real now.

Last week, another farmgirl joined the party with a tip for making a very unique coat rack.  Hat's off to Karen @ Cheney Bag Lady for this thrifty drifty idea.

And now for an image-free Brambleberry Cottage tip:

Have you ever seen the guy at the carnival spinning the plates on sticks? 

He continues to add those shiny little disks to sticks that are further and further apart. 

The trick, of course, is to keep all the plates spinning without letting any fall to the ground.

For months now, I've felt like that guy–using fingers, toes, nose, whatever necessary to keep everything spinning.

So...I've decided it's time to regroup–before it all comes crashing down.

And that's my brief–but necessary–tip to any, and all, who may be experiencing the same thing.

When your plates get too far apart, it's time to regroup!  Don't wait until they start crashing down around you.  ; )
