Plastic chains...

...instead of paper chains!

Because we have too many strawberry milk bottles these days and I hate just tossing them. So with a little help of neon washi tape, we're making a plastic chain. Recycle plastic bottles

 A little Christmas washi tape and it's even seasonal.

Converted picture frame

I've gotten this picture frame a few years ago and never managed to do something with it. Until this morning. We don't have a nice painting to put in there, but with my new Instax and the occasional postcard, I have something. ;)

Quick Saturday afternoon craft

for my kids. The lie minions, so I cut the pieces and they had to glue it together themselves.

quick Thursday morning sewing

Since we will have to go back home pretty soon here, I'm trying to salvage things of stuff I like (and can't really get in Europe).

Took about 30minutes to make and has left over lining and a rescued zipper, as well as the obvious Cheetos bag.


New home to my Sharpies. (Which can be a few more now, since their room is pretty spacey.)

Toilet Paper Roll Recycling

for Halloween. 

Tomorrow, the kids at our condo are gonna go trick or treating. A lot of kids have signed up, but not many people volunteered to hand sweets out. 
So we will. 
And because I didn't just want to hold out a cauldron filled with sweets (too many kids, limited sweets), I also found a nice way to recycle and get rid of our saved to rolls. 

Painted ghosts on them and filled them with a lollipop and two candies. 

Done. The kids can come (between 8 and 9pm, that is).
