Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been pretty busy lately.

My August project is called the clean house project. We are cleaning, and anything that we can reuse, recycle, or give to someone, we are. You don’t realize how much stuff you throw away that you can use. Here’s some idea’s.

Gift Cards- 1. You can put more money on it, and give it as a gift!  2. Find a place that will recycle them. There are a few of those places!  3. If sometimes you play games, or act like you have a restaurant or a store, use them as credit cards!

Reuse your blankets or towels! Take them to a local shelter. People AND animals can use blankets.

If you have old towels that are to old to use, you could use them as rags.

If you have saved the cardboard rolls from toilet paper or paper towels, you can make bird feeders out of them.

Reuse old greeting cards.  Cut the top half off, (with the picture on it), and write the letter on that side.

Bottle caps  - (cap of glass bottle) I would like to make a belt with them.  I have never done it but I am saving up my bottle caps now. I will just use my black belt, and then glue them on to it. I hope it works!   (cap of plastic bottles) You can use them as checker pieces if you have lost some of your old ones.

These are just a few ways. Be creative! Send me your ways to reuse or recycle stuff by the end of the month and I will post them on my website!!

Hey!!!!!

The ice-cream social is going fine. Even though I haven’t seen it, I hear the donation and working list are pretty full! That’s pretty much all I need to update on!

Hey everyone!

As you know, my July project was an ice cream social to raise money for the building fund at church.  I’m so excited that my dad is helping me this month.  We are finally going to make it happen.

I haven’t posted in a long time so here’s what’s happened.  The building fund committee & I had a meeting.  I was really nervous when they asked to talk to me!  They wanted to know my ideas.  We discussed what we would serve and how the whole thing would work.  They thought it was a good idea!

After the meeting, we bought 10 gallons of ice cream that we found on sale.  I’ve made a flyer stating all the information about the ice cream social.  Mom helped make the flyer.  We added some great pictures.  I’ve emailed it to my dad so he can print it and hang them up.  I hope lots of people come!!

I don’t want to use my website to advertise for the event because I try not to add too much personal info.  It’s not that I don’t want you ALL to come but I have to be safe so I’ll leave the advertising to dad.
