Springs n' Things has moved to The Mad Recycler

With my love for Alice in Wonderland and my growing love to recycle anything, I figured it was time for a change, so I have become The Mad Recycler, check out my new blog at themadrecycler.blogspot.com.

♥ Red Gingham and Red Rose - Recycled Cuff 2

I love red gingham, so of course for my next bracelet, I used some scrap red gingham ribbon I had left to cover the cuff.  A recycled soda can rose I had painted red.  I then added some pieces from broken vintage jewelry, flower rhinestones as well as light blue pearls.  I totally love this one and not sure I can part with it! Enjoy!

My Small Business 102: STRATEGIES AND INSPIRATION FOR THE CREATIVELY INCLINED

For all my crafting friends trying to make it in the business world, check out Clarkson University's Center for Entrepreneurship.  I am currently attending the My Small Business 102, which is for the creative artist and crafter.  It is being taught by a very successful north country creator, Sandy Maine, owner of Sunfeather Soap.  Last nights class was about setting goals for yourself, as well as tips and tricks to help the creative person.  I enjoyed this class and will definitely be suggesting it to others.

With this I would also like to announce that Springs n' Things will be going through a change in the next week or so since I feel my recycling has gone way past just springs!  

I didn't get home until around 8:30 last night and wanted a snack.  The BF had made a grilled peanut butter and fluff sandwich for lunch that day and suggested I try it.  It is the same as making a grilled cheese just with peanut butter and fluff and it was delicious!  Definately not healthy, but great comfort food (at least I used wheat bread).
