Wax Paper Please
Are you thinking of getting rid of the roll of wax paper that is collecting dust in your kitchen drawer? Well think again. I know it may not come in handy all of the time, but when you read about the different ways your wax paper can come in handy you may start using it more often. I was told recently by my sister-in-law Tabitha that she uses wax paper to line a cupcake tin when baking cupcakes. No need to go out and buy special cupcake liners anymore. 
Just tear off small squares or circles and stuff into each cupcake hole and spray with a little non stick spray, and viola, your own homemade cupcake liners.
After you have baked and decorated a beautiful cake, do you want to risk writing a message with frosting right on the cake and possibly messing up? A no fail way to write a message on a cake and have it look perfect is to write your message on a piece of wax paper, freeze for 1/2 hour, loosen lettering and place in your cake.
Make dusting easier and place wax paper on the tops of bookcases, kitchen cabinets and shelves that are high up. Every 2 months or so just fold up, dispose and replace with new.
Ball up some wax paper and wipe it along the bottom of a snow tube, snow slide or a shovel.
Press leaves between wax paper, melt to make a bookmark.

Do you sometimes wonder, can this go in the dishwasher? I know that I have said that about things I have found around the house that may need a nice good washing. I have two kids and they can get their toys and other items in the house pretty dirty. They like to bring toys outside and leave them, they also like to grab items from around the house when they have food all over their hands and face. And it is not only the kids that get stuff dirty around the house, my husband can come home from a day of fishing and need his entire outfit cleaned including his Red Sox hat.
