One Person's Trash Is Another Person's Treasure
We use a lot of recycled materials to create our projects. If you come across something that you think we could use creatively, please send it to us. We are grateful for your donations. If we can't use it, we will try to find another home for it, or put it in the recycling. Thank you.
