Even though we celebrate and appreciate the Earth every day, it is nice to pay a little extra attention today. I spent time subbing at the kids school today or we would have more fun recycling projects to show you. We will try to fit in a few more this week.

I quickly searched for a container we could use out of our recycling bin. I found this small little sour cream container. It is smaller then I was hoping for but for a quick project, it was just perfect.then I
So, here is our container. You can see that I had already started taking the print off. I just used a Mr. Clean magic eraser and it came off fairly easily. Just a little elbow grease needed ;-)

She made a beautiful spring scene. I love her self portrait, her flowers and her butterfly.
SO happy with her new little purse/container. I am sure she will store many of her treasures in here.
