Trashy Friends

I found someone that was more than happy to join my cause and now sends me all the used gift cards she collects at work (Trader Joes). She found me Now that i think about - lucky me! Here's a picture of the last batch. I love to get mail and when it turns out to be trashy mail it's that much more exciting.

Plastic Bottle Flower Key Chain

My heart belongs to Michigan

I was asked to make some RePurposed totes for gifts that would be given at our Girl Scout Encampment this year. I wanted to make them a little bit more special & since our Girl Scout council is Heart of Michigan I thought I needed to put those two things together!

I love the idea so much and to be honest I've seen it before but it never really make me even think about applying it to my fused plastic until I was presented with the task above. I know my Heart is in Michigan so I know others must be to and maybe they want to wear it on their tote! Here is the link to get one ( I only have one up but I can make a custom one if this one isn't tickling your fancy) http://www.etsy.com/listing/75168095/my-hearts-in-michigan-repurposed-fused

Dog food tote

I have had an idea to make totes out of food bags for a long time now and then donate part of the proceeds to "a Place to Bark" but it just never made it to the front of the list, sad I know right! Well I am happy to say I finally got it to the top of the list with a little inspiration from a pattern I found at www.keykalou.etsy.com . Her patterns always inspire me! So this is the first one -I need to whip up some more and get them for sale so I can give some money to "a Place to Bark"!

Plastic Bottle Lights Tutorial

I whipped these Plastic Bottle Lights awhile ago and use them on my tent when I do craft shows & it seems to draw the folks in then they meet me and never leave lol! Just kidding but they are intrigued by the lights nonetheless & always ask me how I made them. I'm sure you could figure it out by looking at them how to make them but I put together a little step by step just for those who might need a visual. I even did a video tutorial but it doesn't want to upload to blogger so I am taking that as a sign that I should! Oh and the very very best part of these lights is that they are Solar!!

This is a booth I did last year with my friend Wendy @ RecycledLps.com
