I'm a big fan of recycling, and sometimes I wish I could suppress my urges to hang onto everything because I might "need" it someday.
Case in point. I decided I didn't like my filing system, which relied heavily on manila folders to keep everything organized. It seemed that every time I tried to pull one of those folders from the drawer the contents of the folder would wind up sprawled on the floor. Yes, I admit that I overstuff the folders, but I just got tired of picking stuff up.
New filing system? Envelopes. Big envelopes. Now everything stays contained. I also started using some of those plastic things with all the slots for sorting. They work nicely for things like taxes, insurance info, etc., that need to be kept safe and sound.
Now what to do with all those manila folders? Thank You tags. I cut the edges off, found a cool typewriter font, and ran them through my printer. Punch 'em, string 'em, and voila! Fun tags. Recycled. Don't ya love it?

I'm featured on another blog!
Well, at least something I made is featured. There was a post in the Etsy forums (the Street Teams section) about reusing, recycling, etc., and I posted there. After I posted, Bombus (http://bombus.etsy.com) added my little Lotsa Alphabets envelopes, created from a recycled graphics catalog, to the blog: http://re-craft.blogspot.com Go check it out! It's a great blog showing off all kinds of things made from repurposed items.
And then someone bought the set of envelopes that was featured!
Never fear. I have more.

CONTEST Announcement!!! There are some really nice and talented people selling their handmade wares on Etsy, and zero (whose real name is Aija) is one of them. She purchased a bunch of my little recycled atlas envelopes and uses them when she ships out her creations. Aija makes the coolest little knitting stitch counters using all kinds of things -- freshwater pearls, natural gemstones, paper beads, and other stuff.
But the thing that really draws my attention is Aija's blog, sockpr0n, where she posts photos of the incredible things she knits.
And now... Aija's having a CONTEST! She's awarding gift certificates from a variety of Etsy shops, mine included. The contest ends on March 20, so be sure to check it out and enter!!!
