I wanted to include a picture and I just learned that I don't have any pictures of her. :( So I guess I'll hold that post until I can get a picture from my mom.<BR/><BR/>As for repurposing, I do or have done nearly all the things on your list. Also: cloth diapers from when Kat was little are multi-purpose rags now; dish soap bottles are squirt bottles out in Kat's pool; sturdy fountain drink cups with lids get reused at home, then taken back for refills when we are out; old jeans are cut into patches for other work jeans; any box I get is subject to reuse for mailing eBay shipments; shredded junk mail is padding for shipments.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure there are more, but that's what I can think of offhand.Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.com
