I had a gift box that I was clearing out - it contained candy and coffee that I won as a door prize, and I have eaten most of the goodies now. He said "that's the perfect size for holding Christmas cards." And it's a pretty festive box too. My husband had a brilliant idea today that fits in with the repurposing concept.

Just cut out the sides with the handle and the spigot leaving a lip below th spigot area to contain the magazines. We don't drink alot of the stuff, but with all the parties around the holidays I expect to get a few. They can be covered with paper or fabric scraps to complement your decor.

Though I'm a fashionista, I don’t have a whole lot of clothes so I try to mix and match when I can. A short dress can also be a tunic, etc. I also try to do that with scrap fabric and yarn. <abbr><em>Carla’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/greenandchic/~3/475404867/" rel="nofollow">Emperor “Clean Coal” has no clothes</a></abbr></em> I’m not sure if I’m on the right track but I try to do that with clothes.
