Is it Trash Yet?

This is all recycle material in our area but first it has a home at a local organization called Treasures for Teachers. http://www.treasures4teachers.org/ They are an organizational place that takes things that people discard,donated closeouts from office supplies, all these sorts of "garbage"treasures and organize it for teachers to use in all their creative development for children. So I have an ongoing sack by the garage door and things that they might use go in there instead of the recycle bin. I take it to work as my boss hauls a load of this sort of thing to them every few weeks, plus the carboards from the fabric bolts, tubes etc. that we accumulate at the quilt shop. Amy gets first dibs at any of the lovely selections for her preschool class that she can use ,cash register tape cores, laundry scoops, spools from thread etc. Great things for little hands to learn with and make art projects with. I rescued this awesome 1 inch x 8 ft. cardboard tube from Chris and MB's house last night to take in, hmmmmm I wonder what creative thing it will become !So nope it's not trash yet, it'll serve another purpose yet before being discarded, another little Terry Tidbit of being "green"!
