Awhile back I took GARBAGE and made it into something COOL! It was bothering me, seeing it sit beside the fence...the fence where various broken things sat, before being tossed on garbage Day. I actually ignored it every garbage day...I just kept thinking that something can be made from this! But what? I could see it every day out the kitchen window... just sitting there while I washed the dishes......then it came to me!!

I took it and carefully sanded it, and borrowed my Hubby's saw and trimmed off the ends....WOWZERS...such power!!! I had never used one before, I was scared that I might lose a limb or eye! After it was trimmed and sanded, I added wooden clothes pegs, stained it in Walnut and then rubbed some coloured paint on it.....to match my Daughter's room. I LOVE IT!!! It was just garbage......it was broken and had no use any more...and I turned it into something NEW!! Since doing this, I have had some interest in making more for others.....also I can custom the colour...for your kids room, kitchen, hall entry....or wherever you want to put it! Katie now clips photos, invites and jewellery. I am even going to make one for our kitchen, in pale yellow, to clip recipes, school info, lists and so much more!!

Its NEAT!! It use to be a little, garden picket fence...but with three active kids in the backyard...they broke it when the BALL went too FAST!! I knew it could be used again....I just didn't know how! Now I do!!! What's funny...maybe not for my Hubby, is that when we are driving about and I see something at the curbside.....I stop and look and think!! ONE (WO)MANS TRASH IS ANOTHERS TREASURE!!!
