What to do with plastic bags
Just a quick post today, as we are on a school break week and have out-of-town family staying with us.
How do you toss your BIG trash?
Turn produce stickers into art
… or at least let someone else do it for you. Barry “Wildman” Snyder — the Stickerman — makes art out of the smallest of our modern-life castoffs: produce stickers.
Friday Wrap-Up: Gone Camping Edition
If all has gone well, by the time you read this we are getting home from a camping trip this week. We picked camping for a less-expensive vacation getaway, giving us a chance to enjoy our beautiful state of Colorado.
Meanwhile, here are a few good links from last week …
Friday wrap-up: Farrah & Michael tribute edition
It’s time for the weekly wrap-up of things around the Web. However, the Web this week has been bursting with news about the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.

Kids are out of school again today! I guess it’s just a warm-up for summer vacation. As always, there are some great articles out there on the Web. Make extra money (or tide yourself over during unemployment)
Repurposed Chic Necklace
