I've totally made this before (minus the marshmallows), and I love it!

I am completely with you! We have a few traditional Thanksgiving dishes that cannot be messed with. In fact, my first Thanksgiving with my husbands family, they humored me and let me make my mom's sage and pork sausage stuffing. It wouldn't have been Thanksgiving without it! The other dish that cannot be messed with is my grandpa's cranberry relish. He's been passed and gone for many years, but we still enjoy his recipes at our Thanksgiving table. :)

I love laminated cotton! I used some to make a changing pad cover (it's actually a print pictured, the pink/yellow/green alphabet print on the far right), and I've also used some to make a purse. Excellent, durable stuff! It can be hard to find locally, but there's lots of cute prints available for sale on etsy and other online shops.

My mom would peel/cut potatoes, carrots etc. ahead of time and store them in water to prevent browning.

We installed a medium dark "hardwood" laminate in our downstairs. We we were concerned that it would make the area too dark (we live in a town house, so don't have many windows or natural light). We were suprised to find after we installed that the downstairs was almost brighter, because the lamite reflected the light we did have so much better.

I love using grapefruit spoons in the kitchen! It's great for peeling fresh ginger, and it's the best strawberry huller you'll ever use. It's also perfect for getting kiwi out of it's fuzzy skin. Oh yeah, and you can eat grapefruit with it!

Haha, this reminded me of how my (the 4-year-old) nephew wanted to be Andrew Dan Jumbo for Halloween one year. Needless to say his mom was a big fan of the show.

You could always just shorten the legs if you want it shorter.

mckate's suggestion seems good at first, but I did that once to visit my parents in the Canary Islands (used a major carrier to get me to Madrid, then used a Spanish carrier to get me to the islands). Only problem was we ended up with a four hour delay on one of the lay overs, and because the tickets weren't connected, the Spanish carrier would do nothing for me when I missed my connection. We ended up having to buy one way first class tickets for me and my husband (not cheap!).
So, if you're going to do something like that, it might be a good idea to give yourself an extra day in between connections.

They're free! You can totally make them work. A coat of paint and some new seat covers is all you need.
