I see you are another north of the border neighbor. Welcome! I looked at your site and yes, I think you are here for the first time as I had not seen it before. I liked your post for the latest Writers Island prompt. A little disturbing, but I am a sissy about things like that. Good piece, though. I like your Sister's idea of reusing old jeans. Even mine, which I wear to death, have some parts of them that are in great shape. -Will Hi Jen! I see you are another north of the border neighbor. Welcome!

My sister makes thick winter quilts out of old jeans. They are heavy and warm and they look neat with all those different patches of denim! She also decked her out her son's room when he was younger by making curtains to match his quilt and she used old resewn bandanas as ties to hold the curtains back.... my ds's baby quilt was made of denim and thickened with a quilt badding and the underside was a sewn-in baby blanket. Making it soft and warm, great to be used in the winter over his legs in his stroller! It's now been through 4 other families and it's still in excellent condition! I will be back!

Others are like we reuse plastic containers and then recycle them after, so we don't have to buy extra. I come back if I get any more environmental Eureka's, Anna :) Will I don’t have any ideas on the grand scale, but here is small one: I take junk mail from the credit card companies, take the provided envelopes and reuse them for storing receipts, etc. But I think some of them must have found out about it, because, they stop sending envelopes with the applications, lol.

I found two old wheels with no tires, flipped them over, filled them with dirt and planted in them. They look fine placed between the other foliage.

I have never really given much thought to the subject of recycling. It'll give me an opportunity to take a deeper look into it. Very interesting post.
