❓♻️All you have to do is ask! I was able to reuse gift wrap and ribbons, masks, yarn, and button down shirts at my son’s school for Makerspace, Drama, Art and Spanish. They were thrilled to have the items and these were saved from the landfill or a common thrift store, though I know more…
A neighbor asked what to do with Greenlight air pillows so I sent in the question to Austin Resource Recovery since I wasn’t sure with the conflicting packaging information. The bags say “Bio” but then they also have a #2 on them. They say they are designed to biodegrade. I asked if these can these…
My in-laws teach pickleball and keep giving us equipment even though we don’t use it. It’s okay, it’s a thing with my father-in-law. He likes to give things. I rehomed both of these to someone in my Buy Nothing Project group on Facebook. If you aren’t on Facebook or social media, there is also a…
Compost Bags have a new look! BioBag changed is box big time to a simple dark green with a French bread loaf on it, but it’s still in the same spot at HEB on the bag aisle. Reminder that you don’t have to use compost bags in Austin’s curbside compost, but if you do they…
Just ask around. My son’s old play masks are going to his drama teacher and these neck ties from a declutter client are going to the Art and Drama departments to share. We finally received the two secondhand sewing machines Art had been asking for so they can sew or weave the ties. I don’t…
My attempts to remove what appears to be laser engraving on this glass did not work. I found this glass at a client’s house today when we were decluttering. It’s going to be a great water cup for the bathroom! Someone shared on my TikTok that it is engraved and there would be a whole…
Binders melt in the attic. Please don’t store binders anywhere non-air-conditioned. Don’t store them in the attic, the garage, shed, where they will melt and rust. The stickers will get gooky and creatures will poop on them. The rings will rust. Keep one or two on hand and then put the rest out in circulation…
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie from the Netflix Halloween episode. Shown are Pig, Mouse, Moose and Cat, my version. We had Pig (Piggy), Mouse, and Cat (Bartley from True and the Rainbow Kingdom and yes I know ours is pink and not black). I found Mouse at Sprouts this fall season. We realized…

Ants on a log, our version. We use carrots and today I had black (raisin) and red (craisin) ants. My son isn’t a big plain raisin guy but he’ll eat them as ants. #kids#kidfood#antsonalog#raisins#craisins
