Crafting a Green World and Giveaways!

Hi y’all! Hope you’re all doing well. I haven’t been keeping too well and that is why I have been slightly absent and have not been very active on the blog.

I’m back now and with some cool blog recommendations and some good news 🙂

My Basket of Bits and Pieces

My basket full of goodies that will adorn future projects!

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”…look around you and see all the things that you throw away…surely they can be used for something!

What about the wrapping paper that you got on your birthday, or a pretty picture in a magazine, on a postcard or card! Your broken earrings or necklace (great source of beads!), bits and pieces of card, patterned paper and fabric.Wool,old calenders.Small beads, sequins and buttons.Pieces of ribbon left over from your latest craft project…even colorful sweet wrappers.

Preserving Memories

When I was in Grade 6 I changed schools and was quite sad at leaving so many friends behind. I have always loved collecting my memories and turning them into things that I can look at and remember good times, that is why I absolutely scrap booking =)!. What I came up with 11 years ago I still have with me today and it reminds me of all those wonderful friendships that have withstood the test of time. Well you must be wondering what I am rambling on about…

It used to be a Shoebox Lid!

You must have gathered by now that I hate throwing things away. Ever since I was a little girl I have been fascinated by boxes and bottles, plastic, glass or cardboard and my room used to be full of the ones I used to rescue from around the house. Some of them became storage containers while others were turned into little houses. Recently while playing with a damaged shoebox (yes I am still obsessed with them!)I came to the conclusion that it would have to be thrown away =(…but what to do with the lid? That is when inspiration struck and I came up with this project. Hope you have fun making this…
