Good Monday Morning.  Did you have a productive weekend?
Good - me, too!  Here are some of the terrific repurposing ideas
that I found to share with you:

How cute are these vintage key necklaces?  And the best

The ornate frame, below, really compliments the spray painted keys:

Organize & Decorate Everything

I've seen door mounted shoe holders used for a

lot of things but this is one of the best ideas, yet.

Gym lockers are great for organization and
storage but they can look very stylish, too.

The unending uses for little canning
jars never cease to amaze me: 

Please Note
This mini-sewing kit is a great gift idea.

T-shirts are the most popular souvenirs that most of us pick up
while on vacation.  But what can you do with all of those t-shirts?

Stars for Street Lights
Make a Memory Quilt out of them.  Visit Stars for Street Lights
for the tutorial on this ingenious project.  These coverlets make
wonderful use of your teens' sports t-shirts, too.


Not ready to take on a quilt, yet?  Here's an
alternative idea for repurposing t-shirts:

DIY Happiness
Cut the tees into thin strips that can used as crochet
yarn.  Your teens can help with this project.


And speaking of teens . . . . . . 

Blue Velvet Chair
It can be very challenging to find decorating ideas that don't offend their
sensibilities.  These old skateboards make awesome shelves, don't they?

Who doesn't have a box of miscellaneous computer parts in the back of a closet?

A Law Student's Journey
And most of those boxes contain at least one old keyboard.  Pick
up small magnets at the Dollar Tree, pull the letters off the keyboard,
glue the magnets to the back of them and, viola, instant refrigerator magnets.

Knuckle Salad
Doll house accessories.  Why didn't I think of that?!

Why do we keep old watches that don't work?
Maybe it's to make our own custom jewelry!

Oxidized pennies are beautiful in their own unique way.  Sort
through your jar of change then arrange the pennies from brand
new to aged patina for a charming work of art for less than $1.

See, I was busy this weekend!
