spring cleaning is in full swing so during your break stop and think do I really want to toss this? hmmm

Project scraps can become projects themselfs with a little imagination. Wood scraps are a huge and endless way of adding zip to your yard .
Along with whatever you find can end up in the mix of things.

Here's a few i've made just by piecing things together...a little paint and you can make some little friends happy too.

Some call it "Packratting" ..but hay I have a cool looking thing from that junk....and yes "now" you want one ! So who's crazy now? lol

Yes I have stuff tucked everywhere with lot's of new creations just waiting to be discovered :wink:

What have you created out of packratted scraps of odds and ends?

Very nice, Rick. I am a packrat and I also use my 'junk' to make my garden interesting.
Most recently is an outdoor bathroom (planted). It is still in the works but the bones are there.

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart?
The other heart was given to another for us to find.
