We wanted to see the green project that you were going to show us the next week. PS I bought a sea-can to store my stash (and some retro furniture and some old jeans that are supposed to make camping blankets for the kids and grandkids).

I thought my 8 bins were a lot.... SWTC is having their yearly garage sale next week so let's see how much damage I can make. :-) :-) I may not be able to catch up, but it will be a next best step. :-) :-) 31 bins! Wowza!

Thanks for the cute pattern. It will be great for my students to use.

LOL! My husband and I are dyed in the wool garage and yard sale afficianados. We also have a regular round of fave second hand stores, where they always greet us like we're part of the family. I am seriously into 'upcycling' and absolutely LOVE it when I can bring another life to something that someone else has abandoned. Bliss. Pure bliss. Here's to reclaiming, re-creating, re-purposing and to just plain fun in the thrill of the endless possibilities of trash- erm- treasures! :o) Noreen Ah, Susan, you are my kinda woman! LOL!
