The bag fills up faster than you would imagine. This ongoing cleaning out has helped keep the clutter to a minimum. :-) Marianne (Mare) Baker Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663143060069193124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-87362732406708387422014-01-13T15:52:21.585-05:002014-01-13T15:52:21.585-05:00I could very easily come up with 100...I could very easily come up with 100...The Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730805376957629641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-67134391703833539372014-01-13T15:39:22.678-05:002014-01-13T15:39:22.678-05:00Wonderful idea!

It's a great idea .. the calendars and cards I took up to the Nursing Centre, which has a Dementia unit .. and they use them for making things ... also old buttons etc ... <br /><br />It's great to re-use and recycle things ..
