Recycle & Reuse

Recycling

Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.

There is no limit to the amount of times an aluminum can be recycled.

If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we would save about 25,000,000 trees a year.

Americans throw away 25,000,000,000 Styrofoam coffee cups every year.

A typical family consumes 182 gallons of soda, 29 gallons of juice, 104 gallons of milk, and 26 gallons of bottled water a year. That's a lot of containers -- make sure they're recycled!

Staggering isn't it? We live in a world filled with products and packaging that often are overlooked for their potential second life.

The Designers once again show how empty jewelry boxes, an ice cream container, tea box and perfume box are all perfect for reuse!

So the next time you go to throw away an item ... please recycle it! Creatively or in the recycle bin!

It's time for a bit of Roughin' It!

We could not wait to get to today's post!

Why you ask?

Oh because we're all slightly giddy over Roughin' It!

Now that doesn't mean we're always keen on camping, bugs, tents, sleeping bags, bugs and such.

But the idea of Roughin' It when you throw in S'mores and some family fun...does sound pretty appealing! And even better....our Guest Designer Jen Gallacher is joining us today with a project! Look for more from her this month!

Project Rewind

Project Rewind!

What's that?

Designer Kristen Swain threw this fun idea out when we were brainstorming for blog ideas. She suggested we go back to the blog, pick a project and then remake it.

Well you didn't have to twist our arm to agree to this. What's better than a blog filled with endless ideas to use for inspiration?!

Thus created Project Rewind....enjoy!!!!!!!!!




Rita's layouts are amazing and this one really caught my eye! {well they all do!LOL} Her title even worked into my title as well...
