Creative Recycling



When I was growing up up-cycling, or making new things from old things, was called recycling. Anyway, I have always been interested in recycling at home. Working at Deseret Industries gave me an opportunity to 'grow' my skills. We would look at donated items and find ways to use  some of them in the Homecraft Department. Dennis and I didn't have much extra money and it was nice that I was able to transfer some of those skills to our private life and create things for our home. I usually had things on hand for Heather to use with art projects (stickers that came in the mail, pieces of cardboard, a roll of paper from an adding machine, etc.). As I worked in the library I was exposed to thousands of ideas and Gaila and I had fun trying some of them.

One summer Heather, Gaila and I had a project day where we got together and created several things. It was fun. Even Heather's neighbor kids got involved.

I brought quite a few things with me to Heather's that day. As I loaded them up to go home, Heston burst into tears. He had thought I was moving in and was devastated to find out that wasn't going to happen!
