I am on a roll here with recycling. Jim and I ate at Boloco tonight for dinner. It’s a small Boston based chain that makes really awesome wraps. We ate at the location in Davis Square. My favorite wrap is the Summer wrap with mango salsa….yummmm. We were enjoying our dinner and looked closely at our cups.

The message read:

“This cup grew up in Blair, Nebraska. It really did. It’s made entirely of corn. It’s 100% compostale. It will disappear no matter what you do with it.”

The cup is made by Nature Works. The cup is made of a polymer derived from 100% annually renewable resources such as corn. The website says this product is the world’s first polymer showing a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Now all we need to do is convince all the fast food chains to start using this product.

Some suggested reading…..and another favorite shop on Etsy:

I am reading Marisa de Los Santos‘ newest book, Belong to Me. I love the main character, Cornelia. This is a must read, but make sure you read, Love Walked In first. I went through a phase where I would only read chick lit, where the main character is a journalist in search of true love. These books are far from chick lit. They are well written and tell a heart warming story.

I pulled some books from my book shelf this morning, The Complete Guide To Altered Imagery by Karen Michael. I found some really cool bleaching techniques in Karen’s book. The other book I read was, Collage Unleashed by Traci Bautista. Traci’s book has some really great altered art techniques using crayons. Save up all your left over crayons, melt them and use them in your art. She also goes into detail on dying paper towels. I cannot wait to use some of techniques on my journals. These books are a must have for anyone’s altered art book shelf.

I’ve been looking for a bench block pad for when I am hammering to help lesson the noise. I received this great bench block pad from The Antique Palette on Etsy. This is the best $19 you’ll ever spend and your ears will thank you.
