I talked about this before, right here, but I never actually did it, now that I have done it(and a pretty crappy job at that), I want to try again. I actually think I could make a cute swim suit out of a t-shirt. I also have figured out easier ways to do it, which seems to happen when you make something for the first time. The second time always brings about changes to how I did it the first time.

My family and I are going away for a much needed break this weekend and hopefully going to get our fill of the beautiful white stuff that falls from the sky. Thank you all for coming out and visiting Recycled Lovelies this year. I hope the new year brings you much happiness, joy and peace and I pray this last year leaves without worry or consequence!

If you are like me, you probably have a bunch of wrapping paper from Christmas that you watched people unwrap and grabbed when they weren't looking. It always gets me when I see someone unwrap a gift and wad up the paper and throw it away when it barely had any creases or tape marks in it. So yes, I pulled some silver wrapping paper out of the burn pile that I thought would be great to use for New Years Poppers.

I saw a cute little felt tree at my friends house and thought I would give it a try.

This is my version.

Check back tomorrow for super simple instructions!

A friend of mine sent me an email last week and said she would be giving me a gift on Sunday that she made and told me I could use it for Recycled Lovelies. I was excited to see what it was. She said she made these with her kids/grandkids in the past and thought I might enjoy it. And she was right, it smells wonderful and is adorable. In fact the first thing I did was say, 'Do you smell that?' to everyone in the car. It was this cute canning jar filled with potpourri, topped with a votive candle holder, with a candle inside and ribbon tied around the jar. Adorable and simple! I love it, thank you Cathe!

I love maps, seriously, if there is something you must know about me, its this; I love maps, I love reading maps, I love studying maps! And I must say, I am pretty good at it. Probably the easiest A I got in high school was in geography. But why am I bragging about this?
