#10. Think of a new use for an old product.


My reinvention of a new use for an old product is this. For Christmas, I made this bag for my sister. The outside is made of granny squares I crocheted while I was in England. That is not the reinvention. It is when you look on the inside. I needed a lining for the bag but did not want to spend alot of money to buy new fabric. So, I took an old pair of Curtis' pants and turned them into lining. When you look on the inside, the pockets and hoops for the belt are still visible and useful. She can hang her keys on the loops and use the pockets to hide valuables. I love it. Carol calls it Curtis' butt bag, but she loves it too!

#17 Host a Party at your Home

So, I was going over the list and realized that I have done this and forgot to post about it. Every Christmas, we host a Christmas party at the parsonage where both churches are invited. This year was no exception (sorry, no pictures. I forgot. If proof is needed ask the church members. :). It took forever to get the house cleaned and decorated, but everything went off without a hitch. I like hosting parties. I like for my house to be full of life and laughter, not to mention the excuse to eat great food.
