may i tempt your recycling palette?

I got all of these items for FREE!!! Yes, FREE!!! at The Recycle Center-Woohoo! I'm so excited!

Vintage Mason Jars lined up like soldiers prepared for duty...
                                         Hanging baskets, a cutting board (that I will clean and use for display), a vintage thermos, milkglass vases...
Maps from 1976 and vintage dress patterns, envelopes,
Oodles of fresh cut ribbon
My dream-CONTAINERS!
Magazines! 
This was a very good day of FREENESS!
Did I mention I had 4 kids in tow?

Recyclable Art Show!

My head is spinning from all of this creativity!

What 4 kids (my 2 nieces, 1 nephew, and my son) can do after a trip to The Recycle Center
They were given a plastic bag by me and I said, "GO!"
They said, "This is all FREE!?!"
After collecting their goods-From cardboard to fabric to a wooden shelf and a plastic penguin
we all headed back to my home where a large table awaited them. I said, "CREATE"


With belts, a free bag, bottlecaps. pins, and a plastic bead necklace we have a
NEW POCKETBOOK! 
Below: A new teckdeck ramp for those mini skateboards

Now, it's my turn to create! I can't wait! ;)
