Today we celebrate two great holidays, and we couldn't just pick one of them to feature!
America Recycles Day
and
#NationalButtonDay
Recycling is so important to our planet and our health. By
recycling, we reduce the waste piling up and the pollutants in the air from
incinerators and the process of gathering new raw materials needed for
manufacturing. Recycle all of the plastic, glass and aluminum that your drinks
come in. Now days we enjoy these in multiples each and every day. This creates
a lot of waste, but they are easily recycled. Find a local recycle facility in
your neighborhood to see how easy it is to drop off your recyclables!
Another way to recycle is to repurpose or reuse products
that you might just throw away. Get crafty and repurpose many items found
around the house. Such as empty wine bottles for decorating, empty sauce jars
for embellishment storage, and yes, even those paper towel and toilet paper
rolls for a variety of projects!
Check out some projects from our FotoBella Design Team, that feature repurposed items!
Use an old manila folder to make this amazing Hip Hip Hooray Album like Jessica did!
Reuse those toilet paper rolls to create darling little Christmas Brag Mini Album like KimberlyRae did!
Please do your part in keeping our beautiful Earth clean and
healthy.

Are you a button lover?
Did you know that the National Button Society recognized Button Collecting an organized hobby in 1938? I am sure most of
you have a fondness to buttons and maybe even a great story of your Mother’s,
Grandmother’s or even Great Grandmother’s button stash.
Buttons have long been a collector’s item, as well a great
example of something intended for one use, but can be reused for other
purposes. Buttons are now widely used for craft projects and scrapbook layouts.
Craft brands now make buttons specifically for crafting, and not solely for
sewing.
Collecting or crafting with
buttons aren’t your thing? Don’t throw them out, donate them to local schools
for kids to use on their craft projects!
