this looked too cool to pass up

it all started when i couldn't sleep....plarn

it all started when i couldn't sleep n a friend on facebook had a photo of a tote she made from something called plarn...it was so colorful n cool n i loved the idea of recycling plastic grocery bags (i use canvas reusable ones but i know lots of people who don't...so i thought i could beg theirs)...so this started a weird youtube tutorial trail...here's the 1st

home fried sweet potato chips w pink sea salt....yeah it's really pink...pink sea salt contains various amounts of 82 different trace minerals including...calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper and gold...it comes from the himalayan and andes mountain ranges...i think its an algae in it that makes it pink

remember betsy clark

i'm pretty sure i had a plastic lunch box w/ a long strap @ one time...soft plastic covered cardboard not the hard plastic lunch boxes of today...i think i used it til the cardboard rubbed thru...anyway i don't have the lunch box anymore but i found this old tin in a keepsake box n decided that i liked lookin @ it so i got it out to use in the art room...it was filled w/ powdered bubble bath...i still remember how "womanly" n grown up i felt when i used the bath powder....it probably gave me a rash but the tin brings back soooo many sweet memories...
