You're right. It IS am...I love upcycling too! You're right. It IS amazing and rewarding to make something beautiful out of something that was headed for the trash!<br />I started upcycling in my home daycare to cut down on the cost of crafting materials. For the past few years, we've been crafting for almost no cost here!<br />One of my favourite finds are those Wallpaper Sample Books that you borrow from the paint stores! THey're more than happy to give them away once they've become "outdated" in their stores. Otherwise, they just throw them in the trash. I have 5 now, and we used them for a TON of crafts, anytime we need a medium weight patterned or textured paper. They're an awesome alternative to scrapbooking paper which gets expensive when you're a frequent crafter! <br />Just wanted to share that little tip with you.<br />Loving your blog, Naomi!! And so happy you're following my page now as well! :)<br />-JackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
