Here are some more information for Hanging Scroll:

Nose picking is the act of digging boogers from your nose. Sesquipedalians (persons given to using long words) call people who pick their noses, rhinotillexomaniacs: from the Greek, rhis, rhinos 'the nose' + tillexis 'the habit of picking' + mania 'obsession with something.'

No one knows who the first person to pick his nose was. That's because it happened before people could write. Popular accounts say that the first record of nose picking appeared about 1330 BC in ancient Egypt. Apparently, an archaeologist by the name of Dr. Wilbur Leakey found a papyrus scroll that detailed the financial payment of three heads of cattle, and food and lodging to Tutankhamun's personal nose picker.

Here's how it worked. The membranes in the good Pharaoh's nose produced wet mucous. As he breathed in-and-out through his nose, the mucous dried and became crusty. That crusty mucous irritated Tutankhamun's nose and the rest is history. Except for the fact that most people pick their own noses these days, not much has changed in the last 3,000 or so years.

Just to prove it, in 1995, The Journal of Psychiatry published the results of a nose picking study in which the 1,000 residents of Dane County, Wisconsin were surveyed. Here's what the 254 people who responded had to say:

o Over 90% confessed they picked their nose.

o Almost 10% claimed they have never picked their nose. (We suspect these people are liars or suffer from memory loss.)

o About 25% admitted they pick their noses every day.

o Three people said they pick every hour of every day.

o One person claimed to pick over 2 hours each day.

o About 10% ate their boogers.

Not to be outdone, we compiled our own nose picking conclusions based on years of hands-on unscientific observation. Here's how we see it:

Who picks their nose? Everyone. Why you ask?

o So they can breath.

o To get rid of hanging boogers.

o To scratch an itch.

o To relieve irritation caused by that crusty mucous.

o It's a habit.

o Picking is fun.

o Boogers taste good.

What do they use?

o Index finger.

o Pinky.

o Thumb.

o Other objects, like pencils and Q-tips.

How do they dispose of the boogers?

o Flick them on the floor or wall. (Your success will depend on whether the booger is wet or dry.)

o Wipe them on something (like a tissue) or someone (like a friend).

o Eat them.

Based on the information we have on hand, it seems reasonable to conclude that everybody picks his or her nose at one time or another. It's also a fact that modern etiquette considers nose picking rude and repugnant. So what should you do?

Picking Dos and Don'ts

o Try to pick your nose only when you're alone.

o Use a handkerchief or tissue paper if you must pick in public. Make it quick and discreet.

o Don't pick while seated at the table eating with other people.

o Don't pick if you are handling food and drinks for others.

o Remember that picking does not impress girls-or boys for that matter.

Quick Change Decor

Some people get bored with their home décor, and feel the need to change it often. Of course, many folks don't have the time or money to make big changes every time they feel their home needs a little freshening up. But there are fast and easy ways to update your look without having to spend a lot of money.

Paint

Nothing brightens a room like a fresh coat of paint. Experiment with a bold new color. Don't be afraid to try something different. If you really hate it, you can paint right over it! This quick change will work in any room in the house. Most rooms can easily be painted in less than a day, and your room will look extra fresh and clean.

Pillows

Want a new look for your living room or bedroom? Buy some fabulous new throw pillows! You can add interesting punches of color and beautiful touches of fabric just by tossing some pillows onto the couch or bed. If you think you are tired of your furniture or bedding, adding new throw pillows may change your mind and add some extra mileage to that old sofa.

Candles and Flowers

Adding candles and flowers can brighten up most any room. Even if you already have both, change them often. If you use artificial flowers for you arrangements, it's easy to become so used to your floral touches that you don't even notice them anymore. Change your arrangements every month or so to keep the room looking fresh. Candles can also be changed to add a touch of a different color or a wonderful new scent. Hanging candle holders make an interesting and bold choice, and will add a touch of elegance to any wall.

Mirrors and Wall Art

Changing the items you have hanging on your wall is one of the best ways to make your room look brand new. Replace the painting over your fireplace with a mirror or some metal work for an elegant change. Also, consider changing your artwork a few times a year. Perhaps you could choose art with a color palette that will compliment your seasonal decorating. Even if you are on a limited budget, there are specialty stores that sell beautiful prints and paintings at very reasonable prices. Also, visit your local art galleries. While not everything will be within your price range, there are likely to be some pieces that you can afford.

Accessories

Swapping out the items you have on shelves and tables in your rooms is a quick and easy way to help freshen up the look of any room in a matter of minutes. While some people don't like change, others grow bored with their decorating. This is an economical way to get the most mileage out of your décor.

You don't need a lot of time to make changes that will brighten up your home. In just one day you can make small changes that will make a big impact.

How do i figure out a price for crafts that i make?

I make wood hang up items. I cut the item out on my scroll saw, sand it, paint it, and finish it with a clear coat. I spend many hours making sure each project is perfect. My problem is that i don't know how much to charge people for the items they want. I don't want to over charge like most craft items usually are but i don't want to rip myself off either!!! I can't figure it out by how much the materials cost cause i buy 10' boards, and bottles of paint.....which i can make numerous items out of each. PLEASE HELP ME soon cause i have my first craft show coming up!!!!!!

Thank You!!

I understand your dilemma, first of all you need to figure out how many items you can make out of 1 10' board, then how much does the board cost you, next take the sand paper and paint and do the same thing, you will be able to get your base price from that. Once you've reached that then take an amount of money for your time, base it on like 2-3 dollars per hour you worked on each project some might be more than other but should still be very reasonable to the consumer, I love crafts and homemade items but your right some people over charge and it discourages me from buying. I want to wish you luck and hope everything works out for you.
