We all need to start to recycle, and teach our kids to do the same. We are going to bury ourselves:(

The Festival of Trees 2011

The theme for this years Festival of Trees was "Toyland". I decided to name my tree, "Toyland goes green".

My ornaments are already out of recycled materials, so we decided if Toyland goes green, all of the toys need to be made out of recycled materials.

We had a "RockStar Robot, a Caprisun Truck, a Bottlecap Doll, and a snake made out of misc. items. I didn't win this year, but the kids all loved my tree.

My FaNcY Chandelier!

I needed a little bit of extra decoration for my booth. So here is what I came up with.

My hill-billy Chandelier. I think it turned out rather cute:)

Busy, Busy, & more BUSY!!

That is the name for this time of year. Keep an eye out for an update. I will squeeze in some time soon!!

Repurposed Altoid Tins

I love to create out of Altoid Tins!! They make such cute little gifts!

With a little Modge Podge, puffy paint, & paper scraps, you can make your own!

Earrings Galore!!

I love creating earrings out of recycled items! There is so much you can do;)

Washington County Fair:)

Busy, Busy, Busy,............. That pretty sums up the last few months. I thought I had better post something. I have been doing alot of booths with my Trash to Treasure.

At this event I had lots of space. My friend Bill is in charge of the booths so he hooks me up with an awesome spot each year:)

I love promoting what I do. Kids love the concept of it. That is what makes me want to keep doing Trash to Treasure.

My booth looks like a cluttered mess, but it's really an organized mess:0

I hope everyone is enjoying their kids back in school. Ladies, please take time for yourselves.
