OMGOSH is all I can say!! hahahah last week, we had an awesome theme with the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle theme - it was really great seeing Tilda getting a little bit Green! And like I said, OMGOSH we are totally inspired by all our entrants with all the different ideas that you had to use so many different bits and bobs - so very cool, we saw bits of newspaper used as flowers, card board box bits (one of my fav' by the way), feathers, sticks and clothes tags!  And then there was the reduce that scrap pile - with lots of bits of different papers!
