Repurpose-It!

 I've been inspired lately to "repurpose" items instead of throw them away. The other day I took an empty pamper box, covered it in fun fabric, and had a brand new, personalized Teddy Bear storage box for Abigail's bears.

  Two years ago Pete and I took a trip to Destin FL. We got matching T-shirts. My shirt, a Lg, fit me quite snuggly in every way at the time. Now after losing almost 60 pounds it hangs like an over sized night shirt and I wouldn't be seen in public wearing it! But it holds too much sentimental value to just donate to Goodwill. I started cutting and stitching, before I knew it there was a complete T-shirt makeover!
            

Burlap Explosion!

There is a million things you can do with burlap but I will share just a few that happened in my house over the past few weeks. Thanks to my dear friend Misty who has a mountain of leftover wedding burlap and to a very long boring winter, my kitchen and a few other areas got a makeover.
