Recycling smart - Bookmarks

I have some discontinued books of wallpaper samples.

The reason I keep them because the papers are very nice. I framed some of the pieces but now, I’ve decided to go with more practical approach – bookmarks. I am using wallpaper border samples, they are perfect length and all you need to do – cut the desired width fold them in a half. Take a look! All you need is a good book, for example this one.

Emerald City. Recycling Project #4 Part 1

I have decided to build a castle. I knew it is not going to be an easy task but i didn't realize it will be so intense... Well, may be all the difficulties are coming from me but I can't help it, I have a vision in my head on how my Emerald City should look like and I don't want any short cuts. When I pledged not to spent any dollars I decided to do what I said, but when I decided to start and Emerald City construction project, I din't realize I have no glue.... Thankfully, I remembered my Grand Ma's recipe for glue - mix 5 table spoons of all purpose flour in 1/2 cup of cold water and when 4 cups of water will start boiling gradually add flour mixture into boiling water. Reduce the temperature and let it cook for 5 more minutes - your glue is ready..... Earth friendly too - right?

Take a look - that's how far I went during my first day..... I am not giving up. Talk to you tomorrow:)
