New Uses For Vintage Butter Dishes
I love vintage butter dishes, but don't like keeping butter in mine so I use it in the kitchen for keeping rubber bands, twist ties, and clothes pins that I use to close up packaged food. Vintage butter dishes would also be cool to use in the bathroom to hold jewelry, hair bands, nail clippers, etc!

Recycling Wrapping Paper
Happy Holidays! Don't forget to recycle your wrapping paper and tissue paper this year! There are so many fun ways to recycle it:
1) Pieces that aren't too destroyed can be trimmed around the frayed edges, flattened, folded, and used again next year.
2) Use for backgrounds when you frame holiday pictures.
3) Use in collages, scrapbooks, and paper mache. If you're not crafty look for local art programs you can donate the paper to, such as schools, colleges, and after-school centers. (One Lansing, MI after-school program you can contact is the Reach Center on Washington Ave.)
4) Cut into squares and use as scrap paper for notes and lists.
5) Cut, fold, and tape into envelopes for future gift cards and letters.
6) Cut rectangle pieces, fold in half, and use as holiday cards next year with your greetings written on the inside, or if you have a computer and printer you can write something with a snazzy font and then print on the paper. Keep in mind that a lot of wrapping paper has a glossy finish so be sure not to touch the ink until it has dried or it might smear.
7) Cut into strips for bookmarks. If you make them big you can write a label for the bookmark on the blank side.
8) All left over paper scraps can be thrown in the "mixed paper" bin at your local recycling center!

"Unauthorized Listing"
In accordance with the law I always state in my ebay and etsy listings that I use "licensed t-shirts", meaning that I don't screenprint my own band shirts and therefore am not ripping anyone off... And yet once again one of my listings has been deleted because of "trademark violation".
