Customizing my storage, too

Guest post written by Amanda Felton

I love to customize everything in my house to my tastes. That can take little things like just adding a ribbon trim to a drape or painting some cool looking stencils onto a piece of furniture. It's really quite simple. But it does make a world of difference though. Once I buy something for my home, I almost always customize it in one way or another. So I want to do the same with some storage solutions.

I've realized lately that my home has started to look a little bit cluttered so I need a little bit of extra storage to look cute and neaten things up a bit. While I was looking through some ideas for some home storage solutions, I saw something about new windows and knew that I had to read that too. Our home's windows are drafty, old and just don't look very good. So I'm going to use that service to replace all of them.
I found an idea for how to make a custom storage basket and knew that I had to do this, if not for anything else just my cookbooks in my kitchen.

Find the Perfect Gift with Shutterfly

With Mother's Day (and Father's Day, too!) coming up, I wanted to take a moment to give you some great gift ideas. 

If your mom is anything like mine, and knowing how I feel as a mother myself, I love sentimental gifts.  Photo gifts are especially sweet.  Shutterfly has many photo gifts options you can to customize and give to your loved ones.

Personally, I love the canvas prints, and the blankets.  That might have something to do with the fact that I'm trying to decorate our new home still.  :o)  I love photo walls, and there is something so cozy about a blanket thrown over the arm of a chair, or a few rolled up and placed in a basket.  I have a basket of blankets sitting near my fireplace, and I'd love to add a photo blanket to it.

Last year, my Mother's Day was amazing.  Thanks to MY sweet mom!  She swooped my girls away for the weekend, and spent the day before Mother's Day whisking them around town to make crafts for me.  They made me cakes, flower pots, beautiful painted flower picks, and cards.  It was so sweet (and they had a blast)! 

I got crafty myself and made my mom a photo gift.  I took the letters M-O-M and painted them black to go with her decor.  I then printed a page each of photos of myself, and my two younger brothers from birth until recently.  I tea stained the paper, and then tore out the photos, and decopauged them on.  I loved how it turned out.

Lemon Law

I remember as a child, hearing a lot about the Lemon Law, when my parents were looking for a new car.  It escapes my mind at the moment, whether or not they had bought a lemon, or were simply thankful for the law being on their side. 

We're not in the market for a new car right now, but I think it's important to be informed.  I just read up on the Lemon Law, and thought I'd share some information with you.  What I found seems to be more specific to California Law, though you can find info on other state Lemon Laws here: http://www.mylemonlawcenter.com/states-we-serve/. 

Lemon Law FAQ’s | Commonly asked Lemon Law Questions and Answers

What is a vehicle repurchase?

A vehicle repurchase is a situation where you, the consumer, receive a refund for all of the money you have spend to either purchase or lease the vehicle you are now having difficulty with. This would include the down-payment you extended, as well as any monthly payments. This also includes the licensing costs and any rental cars you’ve had to utilize due to your lemon. And if you’ve had to tow the car, then that will paid for as well. Additionally, your entire loan will be paid in full by the company that manufactured your car. It is true that the automobile manufacturer will receive credit for the utilization of the vehicle. But this only applies to the length of time that you used the car prior to its lemon status. (stop collection harassment California ).

What is a Vehicle Replacement?

“Vehicle replacement” indicates you will get the exact, identical car or truck that you own or lease right now. However, the replacement will be a brand new car in the current model. (And not a lemon!) Your current loan amount (or the terms of your lease) will remain as is (subject to financial approval) and all that will happen is that you just keep making the same loan or lease payments that you make right now on the new car that you received in lieu of the “lemon” vehicle. Your sole expense will be a payment for the time you enjoyed your car prior to the car becoming a lemon.

How will I know if I qualify?

In other words, how do I know if the car I am driving is in fact a lemon? This is where the attorney you chose is essential. The law firm that you select to handle your lemon law case is very important to your success.

Do you need to know whether or not your case qualifies as a lemon under the California lemon law? Do you need an answer quickly and decisively? Then you need to pick up your phone and dial 1-877-885-LEMON

Why Hire A Lemon Lawyer

Any problem that substantially impairs the use and market value of the product and warrantor is unable to make the product free form defects within a reasonable number of attempts. If you bought a malfunctioning vehicle, you may need a lemon law attorney to recover your losses. (stop collection harassment for good!)
