Reuse all your old used envelopes ! And make a note pad ! So when all your bills come in the post ,reuse the envelopes by clipping them together. I use mine to write shopping lists ,recipes from magazines (from the library) to do lists, to jot down phone numbers etc. That way you can reuse them all before putting into compost or for the worms. Another way to reduce,reuse and recycle ! What do others do with all their used envelopes? Please post and share with us . We try to get as many of our accounts sent through our email , but some still don't do that yet .Sunday, January 9, 2011

Ooh, I like this one Sherrie! I do keep paper that comes in the mail to write on and I have been trying to keep the envelopes to re-use them by opening them up inside out and reglue-ing them but haven't had a chance to yet. This idea is great. I do cut out all the stamps to keep for Joshua so that he can practice his gluing skills.
ReplyDeletethis is a great little idea, thanks for sharing, i love being able to reuse items.

I use them for various thing. Here's a few.
ReplyDeleteSeeds, I have 3 here now with onion, lettuce and marigold seeds that I collected this week. They will go in a Milo tin in the garden shed.
Money. Set amounts that I am saving for something. It then goes away until I am ready to spend it.
Notes to myself or someone else.
Bookmark. I lost my bookmark and this was on the table so...
I cut paper down to make *notepads* that I use for shopping list or reminders. A lot of stuff that we get is only printed on one side so instead of shredding for the chooks I cut it into 4 sections and stick it on the fridge.

I just found you blog today and I love it. You have so many great ideas I really appreciate them. I looked through your whole blog at all your posts. Please keep the posts coming I really like your craft ideas. You can find my blog at www.jeffratzlaff.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI have mine clipped on the side of the fridge to a magnetic bulldog clip, another next to the computer and another by the phone. I keep heaps of single-sided printed flyers and envelopes to use for lists, notes etc. Election years are great for topping up supplies! A stack kept in the car is always handy too for quick notes or whatever. I have been known to reuse those pre-printed envelopes that come with bills etc and use them to mail things to others. I like Barb's suggestion for seeds, so I'll keep that in mind.
