A Box, A Catalog, A Gluestick & Scissors...

I needed a gift box to put my best friend Pam's birthday present in. Pam is a very creative and spiritual person and I love her dearly so I wanted the box to be special. I was also under a time crunch because I wanted to send off her gift immediately. I looked through my papers, bags etc. to no avail. As I pondered what to do my eye fell upon a catalog of meditation items. The photo on the front was stunning. So I grabbed a glue stick, scissors and a box and went to work! I not only saved time, money and gas, I also I recycled a catalog and a box! I used a few more photos from the catalog and an old card to make a new card. And on top of it all Pam will really love the personal touch. Give it a try, it's fun and incredibly satisfying.

Bag Free And Lovin' It!

I have several canvas shopping bags which give a nice burst of satisfaction to my shopping experience, however, I was getting guilty twinges every time I used a plastic bag to protect my greens. Now, I'm sure that others have come up with this solution before me but for those of you who have not, I am re-using my produce bags. I turn them inside out and let them dry and then I keep them in my canvas bags for my next shopping trip. Result!
