    WOW! That is some list! It's amazing. I have to admit, I recycle magazines, but have never used them for any type of project. Guess I'll have to rethink that!

    I do use food boxes (like Annie's Bunnies that my son loves to eat) and cut them up with my craft cutting board and them laminate them and make bookmarks. The cardboard is very sturdy and the boxes are nice colors with fun designs, and I always get comments on them!

    A neat website.......like the butterfly one.

    The wine tote too.....but you had to buy that.

    I have gotten rid of ALMOST all mine(recycle)......after going through them for a second time. Have about 10 more --non-colorful ones left.
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    That is so cool, I never would have thought you could do things like that with newspapers.
