We could make you an outfit like a 1950's housewife and I could be a teenybopper in a poodle skirt or something. We will have to make you a sexy apron and a poofy skirt :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743949257926922390.post-86211361395371684832009-03-24T16:31:00.000-04:002009-03-24T16:31:00.000-04:00Guilt is good- it makes you try harder next time!...Guilt is good- it makes you try harder next time! Before my 'green' days really began I remember feeling so clever when I discovered throw-away tablewear for large family BBQs. No washing greasy dishes for hours. Now I shudder to think of all the resources I wasted.<BR/>Does your friend sew? You can wrap her gift in some nice thrifted fabric. And any giftwrap that she may receive can be removed carefully and reused or donated to a scrapbooker, or kindergarten for kids craft.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12824924349210440889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743949257926922390.post-11132000317311656922009-03-23T09:32:00.000-04:002009-03-23T09:32:00.000-04:00Bunting you could use netting the colored kind fro...Bunting you could use netting the colored kind from fabric stores...about 60 cents a yard. When your done cut it in strips and finger chain or braid it to dish scrubbies. Lots of quick gifts in the making! Also check out your local free cycle for things you may need records etc!<BR/>Have to check out that web site, thanks for the linkKatididshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568618127371786808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743949257926922390.post-38723710368222402282009-03-22T20:55:00.000-04:002009-03-22T20:55:00.000-04:00Ohhh, I just found out about the alternative gift ...Ohhh, I just found out about <A HREF="http://www.alternativegiftregistry.org/" REL="nofollow">the alternative gift registry</A>. It is a great way to register while having the flexibility to ask for used things or donations towards something or to get one of a kind items from a small store that might not have a registry. What a great idea!

What a great idea. I'm really inspired by your green initiatives for your next shower. <BR/><BR/>A woman I know went in with 3 friends and bought a full party set of wine glasses (50 or so I think). They store them in someone's basement and whenever one of them has a party or a shower etc, they can pull them out and not have to bother with plastic glasses. They also have a communal fancy cake server. It's something useful, but used so rarely that you hardly need to have your own.<BR/><BR/>Of course you can ask guests not to use wrapping paper! Suggest they use table cloths or tea towels or sheets instead. That way the wrapping can be part of the gift.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to hearing how it all turns out.<BR/><BR/>PS - after looking at your bibs, I've decided to use some scrap material to make some for an upcoming baby shower I'm going to. Thanks for the idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
