7. Technology is great, but it does lend itself to lots of e-waste, am I right? I adore this idea of crafting a cute e-waste basket for all of those dead batteries, etc. Smart, right?

I live in a little place called Saskatchewan, Canada, and pride myself in the fact that I can spell it! I married my very best friend 14 years ago and am a mother to four adorable girls who keep me on my toes constantly. If I wasn’t busy enough, I'm a portrait photographer and avid scrapbooker!
