I am always happy when someone remembers the homeless animals, i had cancer, so obviously I donate to cancer, but it seems that no one remembers the poor homeless animals.

Great tip. I use a small clamp from the dollar store and fasten a bag to the wide end of the ironing board to catch thread and fabric snips

I even through the dryer lint in the "piece of ugly fabric" - I don't save small scraps anymore either, because I never seem to have the piece I am looking for and it is always fun to go to the fabric store! Then the animals benefit!!

It can be taken off easily so you can use the ironing board for ironing your clothes etc.

You use your ironing board to iron clothes??!!
