So I have been talking with a friend for over a year now about some recycled gift card projects. Yes I am talking about giving new life to those gift cards you use at the store and restaurants and then throw in the trash when they are used up. Well I really think this is the year that I am going to do something about that project. I have recently taken a few steps towards this effort. I bought a few tools and have been playing around with my new craft. So I am now collecting used empty gift cards - especially ones with pretty or fun design/pictures - Starbucks, Hobby Lobby and Michael's are my particular favorites. So if you are a nearby friend or someone who likes to collect things to mail, I am happy to help you recycle. And if this project is another one of those that ends up in my "having a box of old used gift cards stuffed under the bed", I will also let you know. Right now I am in the hopeful stage and dreaming of needing lots of them. And well this is the season to give and receive them. I have started asking stores (that sell pretty gift cards) if they have any in their trashcans I could have. (yeah I get strange looks and have to do some explaining.) However that is how hopeful I am about this new little hobby.
