Welcome!

Welcome me, welcome you! Athough I am not sure I have much to say, that anyone wants to listen to that is, I thought it might be fun to start a blog and archive my thoughts, pictures, writings, and attempted recipes and crafts! So, this is more of an area for me to be ME and to explore, vent and get creative. Enjoy, I plan to!

99.7% Recycled Icicle Ornaments!



We both grew up in old farmhouses, one in Upstate NY and the other in Upstate MI.  Seeing icicles forming on the eves was one of the first signs that Christmas was near!
In deciding what to make for our ornament, we saw these icicles. Not only do these icicles remind us of Christmas, a favorite holiday, they remind us of being earth friendly, and oddly enough, a recent episode of food poisoning.
Because we strive to be as green and earth friendly as we can, we typically try not to buy one time use plastic bottles.  However, after a hectic Thanksgiving we did not want to face leftovers and decided the next day to go out for dinner at a local Indian restaurant.  A few hours later, faced with food poisoning, we regretted that decision!  The only thing we felt like ingesting was Gatorade and Pop. So, these icicles are made of recycled Pop and Gatorade bottles!!
May your holidays be blessed with good health and peace!!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
