I Played My Drum For Him


Ask the Little Drummer Boy. He gave of what he had, and never gave up when he couldn't afford to go to the mall and spend hundreds of dollars for brand new gifts for the baby Jesus.
Ted and I looked around to see what we had this fall and saw things we've collected: Champagne and wine corks (no surprise there), leather scraps, and feathers from the birds in our neighborhood: wild turkeys, bluejays, Canadian geese, and tufted titmouse. After experimenting with a few different prototypes, little Christmas Tree ornaments emerged from our combinations and the Pocono Angel was born.
The next challenge was sending them in the mail without ruining the feathers and by using only recycled brown paper bags and cardboard.
Soon, we had over 30 made and our family and friends now had little personalized ornaments to hang on their tree.
Pa rum pa pum pum!

Reuse your T's

Happy Holidays, readers!
For your gift this year, I'm linking you to Huffington Post's list of reuse ideas, mostly for t-shirts. I want the book called 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt by Megan Nicolay!
Here's to a creative and eco-friendly 2011!
