Recycle and reuse




I've discovered that many of my other crafty friends are much like me in saving things because you never know when you might use it which leads to hoarding things. I think my hubby tolerates it because on more than one occassion I've bailed him out last minute on a needed birthday gift for a co-worker. I've had these journals for a year that I knew I wanted to do something with, but I wasn't sure how or what because they had this 3-d chipboard thing on them. Well, I discovered that if I was careful the chipboard design came off completely and evenly not damaging the journal at all. Now of course I couldn't just throw these cute chipboards away, right? So, I made these cards out of them. The tag is a flower with a circle in the center and it says "I love your style" which is from a SU! set now long retired. I think it's a cute care for a girlfriend just to say "I'm thinking of you" or something. What do you think?

Very cute, I think! I can relate to hoarding things that might be useful or cute in some kind of project someday. My problem is, when it comes to crafting, I am more about good intentions than finished final products!

Thanks for your comment on my post. I enjoyed Barefoot, but didn't love it. I read it soon after my second son was born and I was moved (and shook up by) the passages when the main character has to consider leaving her sons. The affair storyline didn't do much for me, but I would have enjoyed a novel that was just about the professor/student storyline.
