Hello, I am located in southern Maine near the NH state line. I am a compulsive craft person and always doing something crafty, never the same thing.

I have started to use things that I have accumulated over the years for recycled projects. I made a pledge to myself that I would not purchase any materials until I exhaust what I have.

Magazines are what I have most, so I am recycling that paper into various bracelets with beads and braiding. I also have lots of wrapping paper that I do not use or is too little to use. I have a variety of labels that I was going to decoupage with, but instead have applied to bracelets as well. It's also nice to have friends that scrapbook and give me their scraps of really nice paper, however, I like finding colors in magazines, putting my mind to work and being creative that way.

So, you will see a variety of recycled paper things in my store, but I mainly like to focus on making bracelets. If I can turn around things in my home and invent or refresh what I have, I am doing my part for it staying out of the landfills/dump. I feel that by doing this I am doing my part in saving the environment.

Of course, all the green, eco, recycle graphics are my own originals and they will be mostly on magnets. (except for the recycle symbol as you know)

Thank you for visiting Eco Flamingo!
