Holder for Shaving Brush

My son loves to create anything and everything (no surprise). He designed this holder out of a vitamin jar so that his shaving brush can dry out easily.
I think its very cool. But then again, I am biased.

Recycling Resources

Here's some great Recycling Resources

Oatmeal container Lace

Opening up a new container of oatmeal- I realized that this plastic piece that I pulled off the lid would make a very nice lace. It has a large round piece on the end that keeps the lacing in place.












Then the ring can be used to hang the shape or ornament to the window or on a holiday tree.

Trash Menagerie at Peabody Museum in Salem

Totally enjoyed the art exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. Lots of creations out of laundry bottles, but much more as you will see. I will add photos as time permits.
