My Green efforts

I buy 5-6 newspapers every week for coupons. If your interested in saving HUNDREDS of dollars a month on your groceries go to www.thegrocerygame.com and try their $1 month trial (use me a reference pretty please...denverb12003@yahoo.com)..I get free weeks.. Anyways..most of the time I just recycle the rest of the paper; sort of a waste it feels. However I do keep the comics section. I have decided to use them for gift wrapping this X-mas season. I bought some pretty ribbon ( on sale of course) and I think they turned out very nice,and FREE!! Man I hate buying paper that literally just ripped off in seconds. I feel the same about Toilet paper, but I refuse to wipe with the comics..I just draw the line there....... Also I made these cute ornaments...I want to make one for each family member for gifts ( not animals, but a mini representaion of each member) and box them up pretty with tissue...what a cheap, and personalized gift..if I say so myself. They are just dough ornaments..really easy to make..and fun to do with the kids 3 cups flour 1 cup salt 1 cup Hot water Mix.....mold bake on a Greased cookie sheet 275 degrees for 2 hours paint, mod podge or poly and done!!
