Better late than never

12th night came and went. Luckily, just before the binmen came this morning I remembered to look through the rubbish leftover from Christmas.

It's amazing what you can glean, wrapping paper; crackers; tinsel scraps; and my most cherished of finds- Christmas cards! All will be carefully stored till next November, when the card making and present wrapping get going in earnest.

Even in the kitchen my scavenging knows no bounds! plastic bowls that the pudding came in, have been set aside, for home made versions. Sweet wrappers are carefully flattened to go in the collage box. Glass pickle jars washed and packed to aid my New Years Resolution of making as much as possible.
