If there's one thing my Mother tried to teach me, it's how to make due with what you've got. Of course, my Grandmother always went to the extreme and saved everything in hopes that she would someday use it. But somehow, she always did. I guess their ideas and teachings made a real impression on me, especially in this day and age of recycling, reusing, and re-purposing. But then, why should anyone spend their hard earned cash on something they could easily make if they don't want to? And why throw something out if you're willing to do something else that's fun and functional with it?
Sometimes I just look at something and think, "Man, I see so many different things I can do with that!" So, to my husband's dismay, I keep it. And as long as I (or the kids and I) finish the project pretty quickly, he's OK with it. But, when my mind is constantly getting flooded with ideas, I have two young kids, I'm getting more and more forgetful, there are more and more distractions... Squirrel! It's difficult for my brain to keep up. So, I thought instead of trying to hold on to my ideas and forgetting them or writing them down and losing them (or having them walk away via kiddo feet), I thought I would blog them. That way they would be written down and shared.
So, this blog is mainly ideas that I have come up with, gathered from others, or seen on other blogs, Pinterest, etc. for the purpose of recycling, reusing, and re-purposing common, used, or refuse items to make new things. There may be other posts, but I think you get my gist. I hope you enjoy it.
