nothing wasted
renew.repurpose.recreate.using life’s leftovers.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! So, how many resolutions have you already broken?!?!? I haven’t made a new one in a long time….I just carry over the same ones year after year that never seem to make it very far into the year! But I got a lovely new t-shirt (wonderfully soft bamboo for goodness sakes) for my birthday this year with a green-themed sentiment that seems to encapsulate all resolutions – LIVE MINDFULLY! Isn’t that great? This pretty much covers it all, doesn’t it? Eco-minded, relationship-minded, health-minded, spiritually-minded…..you name it. So I’m making it my Resolution for 2009 – not to just exist through the days and years, but be aware, deliberate and mindful of everything I do. Pretty hard to do but worth the process, I think. How about you? Let’s LIVE MINDFULLY!
I haven’t worked on any nothing wasted projects since the Fall HEART SELLEBRATION. I have a garage full of things just waiting for me so I’ve picked a couple of projects to start off the year.

Although there is a Spring HEART SELLEBRATION in the works, you may always contact me regarding any project you see here or if you need a unique gift for a special person.

As usual, I am open to taking any Life’s Leftovers that you don’t want. Just contact me! And as usual, your reward for reading to the end…..
RE-USING LIFE'S LEFTOVERS:
Reuse & repurpose the Christmas cards (or birthday, anniversary, etc.) you received. Cut the decorative part into smaller pieces or leave as one piece. Use a hole punch, attach ribbon, and use as future gift tags. Pinking shears or scrapbook scissors make great decorative edges. Glued onto card stock, these could even be used as cards for next year.
