Simply "Cycle" Saturday!!!

Welcome back to Simply "Cycle" Saturday! It has been a couple weeks since I posted this due to the holidays. This week I would like to discuss how to re"cycle" old CDs or DVDs.

A lot of us get CDs in the mail from tax companies or AOL, etc. Instead of throwing these away, you can use them in many creative ways. Here are a few:

1. Use them as a frisbie for your dog. This is a fun thing for your dog to do and will provide lots of exercise. The down side to this is that your dog will think that any CDs or DVDs he sees are fair game so be aware!
2. Use them as an art project for your kids or volunteer to host one for a nursing/assisted living home. Both kids and adults will have fun with this. You can create many interesting things using CDs or DVDs. The circular shape is great as a starter. One of the things I have done in the past is make fish hangings with the CDs. You just need construction paper, felt or foam in bright colors, glue & scissors. Let the artist's mind be creative. The picture below is from Make: technology on your time. They used a CD Rom for their fish body.
3. You can make coasters out of them. All you need to do is use a hot glue gun to seal the center so condensation doesn't go through the center and get your table wet. Another great way to do it is to use plastic lids from canisters and hot glue them to the CD. This provides legs for your coasters and seals the hole in the center of the CD. For the pictures below, I used the blue lid from a Gerber Graduates canister and glued it to a CD.
4. Collect them and turn them in for money. There are several stores that will accept recycled products for money. One that is local to me is called "Leftovers". They will give you in-store credit for items that you donate. You can then use that in-store credit to get supplies for your child's or other craft projects! My mom and I love this store, check it out!
5. If you have CDs or DVDs you no longer need, you can trade them at a resource called SwapaCD or SwapaDVD. They will allow you to post your gently used CDs or DVDs to receive credits. You can then use these credits to request CDs or DVDs from others. You can sign up by clicking on the images below!
   
   
6. You can use them as a backdrop or curtain. All you need for this is string or fishing line. You can then tie them together with fishing line and hang them from a wall or doorway. This makes a very retro wall or room design! The below picture is from ThriftyFun. They used other beads to fancy up the CD curtain a bit.

Do you have a creative idea for using old CDs or DVDs? Be sure to post it here if you do! How about a re"cycle" idea. I would love to hear some of your ideas. If you email me a great one, I will feature it here!

Guest Post: The CPSC Wants to Outlaw Resale!!!

Guest Post:

Hi Everyone!

FYI---- If you purchase used children's clothes, books, toys, furniture, gear, etc from resale stores, thrift stores, EBay, Craig's List and even garage sales read on! There is a new bill that goes into effect on Feb. 10 that says used items intended for kids under 12 must be certified lead free in order to be sold. The cost of lead testing is outrageous and so this bill will essentially stop the resale of children's items. There is a link to the bill and to contact your congressmen below!

Lowe's & Walmart News!!!

Some of you may not be aware that Walmart honors all competitors ads for pricing! If you have an ad for Kmart, bring it into Walmart with you and if they have the identical item, they will honor the price in the ad. This is great if the store that is hosting the ad is out of the product and you don't want to worry about a raincheck. I have done this several times and it is wonderful.

I just heard today that Lowe's is now honoring all competitor's ads also. If you find an item that they carry on sale somewhere else, bring in the ad and they will match it plus give you an additional 10% off! That is fantastic! That means you will save even more by shopping at Lowe's for all your home supplies! Remember it has to be the identical item that is in the ad.

Do you know of another store that offers this? Post it here and let us all know!

Shop'n Save Deals for Week of January 4-10

• Buy 5 Lean Cuisine 5/$10.
• Total before coupons is $26.33. After coupon it comes to $21.18. If you have an Entertainment book for this year, use the $5/$25 coupon. This makes it $21.18-5=$16.18. You will then receive a $5 RR which makes it $11.18 for all 11 items. That is $1.02/item!!!

Note: Make sure that if you go with my transactions above that you have them rung up in their own transactions or the savings will not work out as I laid them out. The clerk will let you ring them in seperate transactions. If you have a hubby or someone you can bring with you, it makes it even easier to do several transactions.

Yes, I'm still around!

Just like most of you, I have taken a little break from cyberspace. I have been enjoying the last week with my family. We have a small amount of family in town which allows for some great quality time. Starting on Sunday or Monday, I will be back to my regular posting habit. I wish you all a great New Year and be watching out for some great giveaways and freebies in this New Year.

Here are my resolutions for this year. I would love for you to share yours.

1. Take ballet & jazz lessons again.
2. Start back into Tae Kwon Do regularly.
3. Start potty training my little guy. (If you have any advise or things that worked for you, I would love to hear it!)
4. Double my readership here. (I need your help for that one. Be sure to tell everyone you know about my site and grab my button to place on your blog!)
5. Declutter my house! (This is a hard one for me since I find a reason to be "attached" to everything anyone gives me. I need to just take pictures and then get rid of the stuff I won't use.)
6. Start scrapbooking again. (I have quite a collection of supplies and lots of pictures. The problem is...TIME!)

Ok...well...those are just a start. I'm sure I will quickly add to that list. Don't forget to share yours here. I have added a Mister Linky to make it easier. You can link to your post, blog, or just leave a comment!
