I have a problem with collecting trash. I admit it. Bubble, wrap, envelopes from bills, any plastics that look interesting and corrugated cardboard. In the crafting world, we call it 'upcycling.' All of these items conjure so many ideas of what project they could be used for!
(or projects for which they might be used! if you are with the grammar police)
As I stare at a piece of cardboard that has ripped, colorful images flash before my eyes.....
All these quotes made me remember a great blog. If you haven't been there, you should visit: http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/
As we were unpacking the rods for hanging quilts, I found great "supplies"!! Long and wide pieces of brown kraft paper, styrofoam, and rubber!! Even some really great boxes!
(I also have a problem with bags and boxes. Containers in general....)
I had them neatly set in a pile to put away in a moment.
I left the room. I returned to the room and my pile was gone! What?! Had there been a break-in? Were other upcycling people stalking me and raiding my stash?
"Where did my things go?!" I asked Jesse.
"What things?" he replied.
"My squishy things! From the curtain rods!" I said.
"I threw them away," he replies with the resigned look of a man who knows his wife is about to root around in the rubbish.
