Recycle..............

Hi there!!

I know that many of you were wondering what on earth I was going to do with a recycled Folger's can.  Well to refresh your memory, it was like this.......................

Now it looks like this!  Didn't turn out 100% like my vision but it will do, at least for now.  I have all my decorative scissors and wire cutters all in one place now.  I should have painted it first I guess.  Oh well lol.

Well that's it for me.  Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!!

What can you do with recycling??

Howdy!!

I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend.  Today was a beautiful sunny day here in the PNW which definitely was a very nice change from all the rain.  I have been taking it pretty easy so far this weekend as it was a very emotional week for me.  Still having some harder days and missing Dad on those days but just taking it one day at a time.  I am keeping occupied doing a little organizing at a time and I'm making progress.  One large trash bag of GW items and one large trash bag of garbage lol.  Have to start somewhere huh :)

I had a post a few days ago about something I was going to do with some recycled items that I cleaned up.  If you remember, this was what I've collected.

So with some hot glue and twine, it now is looks like this :)  This one is the tin can in case you couldn't tell lol.

Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!!

Happy Tuesday!!

First off, if you received an email from me with a link in it, please just DELETE it.  My hotmail account got hacked but I've fixed that now :)  Sorry........I hate that when it happens!!

Don't you just love it when you empty something and an idea pops in your head on what you could use that for???  Well I sure do :)  I'm trying to get things organized throughout the house and especially my closets and my crafting items.  So here are 3 things that I know what I'm going to do with them :)

Was able to work on more of Carissa's veil tonight and almost done with the first layer!!  Then only one more layer to do lol.  My husband first said it was going to take me until April to finish but I told him no, I figured it all out and am in a rhythm.  This is only 3 days of working on a it a little at a time so not bad.  A lot of love is going into this one let me tell you lol.

My goals for 2011:

Clean out closets, get rid of things we don't use and organize them.

Finish all of Carissa's wedding items.

Make outside planter boxes

Make a new headboard for our room

Make a gate to keep the dogs out of the indoor cat box...this should be good.

Paint the trim outside on the shed.

Paint the laundry room

Take a cruise for a week with the hubby

Take a few weekends with my girlfriends

Make time for "ME" at least 2x's a month

I'm sure I'll have more as the year progresses lol.

Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!!
