I love it when I can use something old or re-use materials in my art. I am so excited to find lost treasures. Have you ever heard the saying "someone's trash is someone else's treasure"! So true! I can often find fabulous vintage items to mix with modern elements creating unique gifts. East Coast Kitsch has some great organizational tips using recycled items. A great way to do our part in keeping our Earth green.
If anyone has any other "green" ideas ~send me a comment and I'll do a" green" eco friendly feature.

Here's a bit about me!!I love to create and I love to create things that have already had a previous life (although that's not all I do). I try to stay pretty organized so I am very lucky to have one room in our home to dedicate to my work. I do this as a hobby, but would one day love for this to be a viable source of income. I travel quite a lot for my work, so I always have a couple of projects with me that I can work on to keep me sane on my travels! However, when I get home I love to spend an evening locked away in my crafting oasis.
Jane's favourite tips:
**Use recycled tin cans to keep your crafting tools organized- they look super cool and you are reducing your footprint!!
**Make sure you have everything you need at your fingertips- know where you put things or you will spend more time looking for items you have diligently tucked away.
**Keep a scrap bag- I always keep my scraps no matter how big or small- you never know when you might want to use them!!
