Portland's "super crafty" spent Saturday morning at the Chocolate Craft Studio playing with chocolate!

Before I share the projects and fun, introductions are in order!  So from left to right:

I am inviting you on another adventure recycling tin cans!  This time I started with tuna fish cans.

I removed the rim using the same technique as I used in the previous post. 

Don't forget to wear goggles and thick gloves.

Starting with the very first entry and counting Cyn only once - the winner is:

Jennifer  at Cinema Cupcakes!

Thanks so much for entering everyone.  And thank you for sharing so many great ideas for recycling and reuse. 

Jennifer cuts plastic packaging into fun shapes using her Cricut! 

From this -

to this!

Most of you know by now that I love making things using tin and aluminum - especially butterflies!

What inspired this passion of mine were the punched tin mirrors and frames I was accustomed to seeing in Santa Fe homes and the light shields that we used on our family Christmas tree.

It is my goal this year to learn to knit socks!

Bumbles (The Abomidable Snow Monster )is thrilled with my very first pair.  I haven't the heart to tell him he won't get to keep them because they are destined for Children in Common.

I am almost literally floating on air I am so proud of myself! My sweetie is now convinced I have lost my mind - but I can't help myself!  This is a huge step toward my goal!
