Recycled.

As many of you are aware, it was Thanksgiving last week, and due to the wonderful system we refer to as 

The Quarter System,
 I was blessed with quite a lovely break. 

So I headed down to south LA for some good ole family time. 

Babs and I enjoy the art of crafting given the right opportunity. 

Let's just say that opportunity was given. 

And boy did we craft!

I find that the best crafts are ones that are cheap and simple.

What could be cheaper than using things you already own?

I just thought I might share some of our crafts with you.

Our first endeavor was some super trendy scarves. 

(Yes, I got the idea from Pinterest.)

It's super simple. 

Old t-shirts...RECYCLED. 

Next, we made us some candles. 

Got some old glasses or jars? 

How about some old candles you can't burn anymore?

RECYCLE THEM. 

We decided to go with some rings next. 

We saw some like these in a store...they were going for $10 a pop! 

Well, we made 10 rings for $3. 

Old funky buttons....RECYCLED.

Take that 505 Imports! 

And we finished it all off with a wreath for Polly. 

It was all stuff I just found around the house!

I found the wreath at my grandpa's house, he's an 80 year old man...

what's he need a wreath for?

The ribbon and feathers were located somewhere in my mother's extensive collection of odds and ends.

And the "P" was from Polly and Andy's wedding invitations. 

Jack Johnson would be so proud of us Mom. 

Reduce. 

Reuse.

Recycle.
