UP-cycle

We talk about garbage at my house a lot.  Why, you ask?  Do you haul garbage for a living?  Is there a dump next door?  Did you recently invest in AREA Disposal?  No . . . I have a 3 1/2 year old.  And, as those of you who hang out with the preschool set know, these kids find a cause and truly embrace it.  The past two weeks PBS has coordinated their programs' schedules and we've seen no less than three different shows on where garbage goes, what happens to garbage when it gets there, and how to keep so much garbage from piling up.  Therefore . . . I have begun to turn my thoughts to the up-cycling of our current stuff into cooler, new stuff.  My first adventure...

Well, to tell the truth, it wasn't my first adventure.  Find out more about that here.  I've also saved a lot of cool containers - a peanut butter jar, three jugs from happy meal milk (they kind of look like little ghosts), and a bunch of others.  I'm not sure I can put any of the creations from this current craze on Etsy, but at least we're helping the environment!


Coming soon...meet the Gleedles!  Don't know who (or what) a Gleedle is?  Well, you'll just have to be patient :)
