GOAL: Plastic wrapper Beanbag by Christmas!

Apparently, getting three clean sacks pose a little challenge to the people around me. I'll have to do without them.

Pet bottles -- we don't use much around here. We have potable water, and the only pet bottles you see are from Pepsi Max indulgence, which is very much in use as drinking water storage. Whatever smaller bottles are used for containers of such and such. So, this part has been taken cared of.

Tin cans -- we consume approximately 6-10 canned goods weekly. One of our drivers buys and sells them -- he's taking care of that for us.

Plastic wrappers -- this is my main project, since there's a whole bunch of them in the house. Since my mom has also been addicted to folding them into small triangles, it's becoming easy to trace them. I just wanted to organize the whole hoarding process.

There's a lot of things that can be done with these plastic wrappers, but the most common and easiest way for this is to cut them into small strips and use them as fillers for throw pillows, small stuffed toys -- well, me and my sister are looking at something ambitious... a beanbag-sized plastic wrapper fiber filled something. I wonder how may hours of cutting plastic wrappers we'll have to invest in to come up with that! But it's a goal -- and it makes our plastic hoarding activity fun. Since we have something to look forward to. Plastic wrapper Beanbag by Christmas!

Some of the folder wrappers are also going to end up in our Christmas Tree. Momie's already separating the Energen wrappers that she has folded. They have the same size and they can be sewn together to make a long Christmas string that we can wrapped around the tree, or we can just hang them separately. We could paint them with a lot of colors -- but we could also keep them as ease, they just have to be varnished though, so they'll stay permanently folded.

Oh well! We started cutting them wrappers already. I showed them how to cut them correctly -- thin strips, about an inch long -- so it'll fluff and add body when we use them as fillers. If it's any bigger, it's not going have the same effect.

We're halfway through a medium-sized plastic bag already -- still a long way to go for our Plastic wrapper Beanbag by Christmas! So what?! We're definitely heading there. *smiles*
