Recycled baking tray from a purchased prepared dinner.

Sprouting containers from yogurt cups filled with potting

soil and seeds gather from my begonias. Scoop with handle

saved from the powered laundry soap - great for measuring

and scooping.

I always have a difficult time placing sentences without them

being scrambled. Sorry?

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.

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes
Keebler (R) ice cream cups - 24 cups - 3 0z.
Two types: KOOKY Cupcakes I created below
and Cool Cones filled with fruit & gelatin top with whipped cream.

Directions are on the box wrapped with foil. Save the wraps.

Red Velvet cake mix

White frosting. Your choice of frosting for the ice cream you

enjoy. Maybe, mixed with a few nuts. Something different for

an enjoyable crunchy cupcake.
