Einstein was right

You know - that smart old man that said insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I had a box full of somewhat neatly cut squares and strips and thought I'd make blocks and sort of diminish the scrap collection. Wrong. While I was putting scrap pieces together and not keeping my eyes on Scrap Mountain, it was growing by leaps and bounds. But. There is hope. Nice neighbor mentioned yesterday that she didn't have a scrap bin. WaaaaHAha. Don't know whether I'll gift wrap a collection for her - or just sneak a sack full inside her screen door while she's fast asleep. There must be a way. Polly

ROFL ... you've got her right where you want her -- scrap-less and close. P= eople used to leave kittens on our doorstep in the early morning hours, mew= ling in a box on the front porch. Of course, Daddy always took them right b= ack where they came from. But scraps ... who would turn away gorgeous, yumm= y, scrumptious scraps? Probably not someone who doesn't have her own scrap = bin and so doesn't realize that they breed like mice, especially once you s= tart trying to use them up.=20

She is very lucky to get a good start on a scrap bin. Gift wrapped is what good scraps deserve. There used to be a Big Bird pair of pajamas that tykes in the family got as hand me downs. The front of the shirt said "sharing is caring". Big bird is right. Taria

" just sneak a sack full inside her screen door while she's fast asleep" - kinda like zucchini in some neighborhoods, huh? ;)

scrap pieces make good stuffing, when they are too tiny for anything else!

When I was cutting and sorting, I laughed when I came to really little pieces of very Important scraps. Reminded me of the folks who have a sack of 'string too short to save'. Our neighbor who has no scraps came by this evening. She said my wonky blocks were making her crazy so she trimmed them. Then (!) she began arranging them on the design wall. . . and fell in love. Maybe my scrap bin won't encroach international borders after all. Polly
