"Ecobeauty : scrubs, rubs, masks, and bath bombs for you and your friends / Cox, Lauren." Check out your library to see if they have the book. If they don't - little secret here: As them for an Interlibrary Loan. This book is great and has several great crafts. And look for this book too. It's great "The repurposed library : 33 craft projects that give old books new life - Occhipinti, Lisa."<br /><br />I'll hush up now.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />DianeThe Library Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783960184977400423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-35904073868340223482013-12-23T15:56:00.822-08:002013-12-23T15:56:00.822-08:00All of these ideas are just precious.

Lordy Mercy the things I did with those bags. I have a wonderful pattern for making baskets out of brown paper bags (grocery store size). The bags are extremely hard to find here. I have a friend who shops at the Navy Exchange and they have brown paper bags. Whoop Whoop - new best friend. She saves them for us. We use them to make the baskets as special gifts. We found the directions in guess where? A Library Book. If you'd like a copy of the directions just e-mail me and I will get it out to you after the holidays. I always get a lot of ideas from a library book about how to recycle old books and turn them into TREASURES. <br /><br />I was wondering if you could let me know what the tag says on the reindeer wash cloth. I really would love to do that. I bet you could so Easter Bunnies too.<br /><br />I'm dying to hear from you. dianelwhiting@gmail.com or diane@neflin.org<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you, your hubby, your Mom, and of course Bentley<br /><br />Love<br />Diane<br />The Library LadyThe Library Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783960184977400423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-24624637069712453592013-12-21T20:13:23.945-08:002013-12-21T20:13:23.945-08:00Thanks for sharing so many adorable ideas!!!Thanks for sharing so many adorable ideas!!!Bernideenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323630851115338825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-3429296049777351432013-12-21T18:27:10.357-08:002013-12-21T18:27:10.357-08:00I love the creativity.

For many years I wrapped gifts in brown craft paper. Many times I'd cut up brown paper bags to use for the paper. Then I would use plaid ribbon on the packages. Love the look of simple brown craft paper. So many ways to embellish it. Thanks for sharing all these lovely ideas for wrapping gifts. <br />Merry Christmas! ~ SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-56837630852599842442013-12-21T16:06:05.277-08:002013-12-21T16:06:05.277-08:00Really cute ideas..Love the cigar boxes Susan..Hav...Really cute ideas..Love the cigar boxes Susan..Have a very Merry Christmas..This N Thathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660035693962636210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-89526525682117158732013-12-21T13:17:03.467-08:002013-12-21T13:17:03.467-08:00I am not a wrapper, sad to say.
