Don't Just Recycle {UpCycle With Smiles}

I’m officially trying my hardest to go as GREEN as I can around here!!

Recently, I upcycled some Vodka and Izze bottles to create some awesome

Halloween decorations for my kitchen.. *Vintage Candy Corn Bottles*

I also created a *Book Page Pumpkin* usingan old tattered book that was in bad 

shape thanks to my lil daughter.. How darling..?!

I’m on the hunt to see how many of you have been recycling via UPCYCLING!!!! 

I figured, this month will be a great month to show your creativity and green miles by 

creating awesome OCTOBER projects (Halloween Décor, Party Favors, DIY around the 

house crafts and more) using RECYCLABLE materials available to you.
