My Valentine's cards for family members
I designed each one by drawing and painting.

I always thought cheese cloth was lacy.
So, I created heart shaped jewelry many years ago.
I created a necklace, earrings and several
different size pins.

Garden Recycle Statue Base

Someone was replacing their sewer pipes. I claim this piece as the base to provide height for my small garden statue. When we had to replace our heating & air furnace I salvaged the pieces I could use and let the furnace man remove the remains.

Saving Holiday Gift Boxes, Wrapping Paper and Ribbon:
I hope everyone saved their boxes, Christmas gift paper and ribbons. I saved most of the boxes. I'll iron the paper and ribbons to roll on an empty discarded paper rolls. Money saved and a good feeling all the boxes, pretty paper and ribbons are not wasted. Some Christmas cards are saved to use for creating cards for next year and others go in the memory box.

An empty shampoo and syrup contain.Place a few small rocks in the bottom to keep them from falling over.

All my life I have loved creating something from discarded items, it produced the same feeling I had when the pantry was full after canning.

REINVENTING:
I purchased two lamp shade for five dollars each. I like the unusual shape and the good buy.

But my husband said they block the flow of light - so I traced a maple leave pattern on two corners of the shade, then cut it out allowing more light to flow. I love nature and the shape of

the maple leaf.
