time redux

my watchband broke ...

this was not an expensive watch, but the face has an attractive look to it ... I like this little watch, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to find a new band and then have it replaced. I have tried to replace them myself - good grief. What a chore.

And so I said - "I think I'll remake this little watch in a new way!"

And so I did!

Tissue? I hardly know you!

This repurposing of a cardboard tissue box from Real Simple magazine is great! I cringe every time I throw a tissue box away, thinking that there must be some way to put them to use. This tissue box is being used to store plastic grocery bags. (They have used a pretty coloured bag here, hard to see that it is a plastic bag.) And since I am a saver, when the tissue box will hold no more bags, I will know that I need to start a new box, and take the tissue box full of bags to the bag recycling center. It is also a great space saver, since currently I am using a plastic grocery bag to store the extra bags, this will take up a lot less space in my little kitchen.

ps - thanks to my sister Sarah for one of her favourite silly jokes, which I used as the title to this post.
