Geode smashing is a fun and easy way to entertain my son! We went to Nature’s Treasures for the geodes at his request and we already had the hammers, safety glasses and ear muffler. He did end up really getting into it so I had him put on my rain boots to protect his legs…
Photo drop from Austin Creative Reuse today! They take so much stuff! Some of the things I’m working on rehoming for someone right now include quilts, lace, tablecloths, doilies and other crocheted material, greeting cards and stationery and probably a major office clean out. They take it all! Austin Creative Reuse #creativereuse #regome #downsizing #declutter…
I was hoping someone would love this guy the way I did but no takers on Buy Nothing. I fell in love with this stuffed chicken at first sight on an Instagram post for a local country primitive store. It was handmade and the cutest thing! Now I’m not really much of a chicken person.…
This is not an ad or sponsorship. I ordered this for my son years ago in response to mail or email I received. “The baby book, reimagined.” I loved the line on this for my son. We have tons of photos and videos, but how do you capture the cute things he says or some…
I’m posted candles in my local Buy Nothing group. I’m helping a neighbor downsize and they had all these candles… Luckily I checked the list at Austin Creative Reuse and they Do Not accept candles. I imagine they get so many because there are a lot of people that end up in this situation. I…
Doing a little mending tonight on Cute-achu. Make a little mending kit with the most popular colors that you wear so you can fix a seam or a button when you need to. Here’s a mending kit from HEB. Who has all these colors? Plus you have to process the packaging. I’d rather get more…
Shredding is available at UPS! I am so excited to share that at least at my local UPS in Austin, they have partnered with Iron Mountain and now offer secure shredding for $1 a pound. It all gets recycled too! Recycle your broken shredder at your local Goodwill, Best Buy or recycling center. Donate you’re…
Legos can be cleaned with makeup brushes. @bricksandminifigsatx shared the secret with me the last time I was in there. Feather dusters don’t work and they get caught on everything, and an air blower, like compression air for your computer, is too strong. Reuse those makeup brushes that you aren’t using, I don’t use any…
House clean out for Austin Creative Reuse and Goodwill Central Texas. I did find the keyboard that was lost, and I found a whole bunch of other things. As I’ve mentioned it’s not new stuff. It’s just stuff that I’m seeing with new eyes and ready to move along. A lot of it’s craft and…
I had the best of intentions when I started out with a dry erase board for my husband’s job. Sometimes he needs to plan out what he’s working on so I created a whiteboard since that is what he uses at work. Read RETHINK: Dry Erase Boards & Picture Frames. I first found these Pilot…
