Trash and Treasure

My favourite type of crafting will always be making something out of nothing. I can get real satisfaction from that. Although I must say that having a job over the last four months has made me think a little more about how I use my craft time. It has also brought home the feeling that my frugal crafting of the last five years was fun but it is also great to have a few pounds to spend on good materials. You know what I am pondering; Ying or yang, time or money.

So when I needed to clear my desk to work. I got a bit excited about all the tat on it.



Mostly bits of interesting packaging from my birthday presents that I didn't want to throw in the bin. I made some cards for my card storage box and cleared my desk at the same time all in about an hour.







I like it when trash turns to treasure. I
 did get some lesson plans written, honestly!


Have a happy week whatever you are making. Jo x

  2. Very nice! I keep random cute labels as well, but still haven't made anything out of them! That's the part I haven't figured out yet! xD
