good for you. I don't get to thrift store often but my grandma has a list of stuff to pick up for my mom and I when she sees it. She's goes every week. She's gotten some really good stuff for us to "just cut up" too.....lol.
Anything that can be recycled/upcycled/reused should be.
Can't wait to see some of your projects. Hope your going to share them with us.
