since i am recycling a box that use to hold apples i wanted to wrap it on freezer paper or brown shipping paper to mail it. my freezer paper is nearly gone--time for a new box--so off to local Super Target. No freezer paper and although they carried bubble wrap, squishy padded envelopes and small boxes for mailing, they DO NOT carry brown wrapping paper or even freezer wrap. ( so what else is new--they dont even have cinnamon rolls in their bakery dept--sheesh!)
Thought i would have to make that long trek to CUB Foods but on the walk home i noticed that my neighbors had the big brown lawn refuse bags out on the curb.I have a few of them on hand so when i got home,I took one, slit it down the side and removed the bottom. Wrapped it around my box with wrong side of the bag showing and taped it on. Added index card with address and she is ready to go--but she is too heavy or me to carry very far so will have to have my daughter come take me to post office to mail it.
We quilters will recycle anything!!!
