Quote from DKult Member Meeah Williams

"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Comment by DKeys on December 7, 2011 at 4:49pm: All these things are motivating me to start making christmas art. Isn't it great Kat? I would never have thought to make something like that.

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 7, 2011 at 4:38pm: Ohhhh, that is perfect! What a beautiful garland from Lisa! Love it! To the Trashpo Queen go the "spoils"!

Comment by DKeys on December 7, 2011 at 4:34pm: Yippee!!! My first trashpo christmas. Received this amazing package from Lisa Iversen today. At first I thought it was just a bag of trash, which I was quite happy with, inside the clear wrapper. Come to find out it's a trashpo garland! We only buy a tiny tree for xmas so it fits perfectly on ours. Thank you Lisa-your creativity knows no bounds!

Comment by DKeys on December 6, 2011 at 2:47pm: christmas trees made from recycled bottles!!

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 5, 2011 at 5:37pm: Love returning after a trip. Sue, it's always like "Christmas" in the mail box! Glad you got lots and lots! Now I am also getting lots and lots of flyers and catalogs advertising for Christmas shopping. Lots of TRASH...good trash for Christmas trashpo boekies! I am inspired by Amy's and now time to MAKE!

Comment by prettylily on December 5, 2011 at 5:23pm: Katerina, I was hoping you would see my mini's. I had no idea that Ben & Bev had so many kids & the MIL - is just too funy!

I just returned from the PO....what a haul! Should go on vacation mre often. Will scan and blog tomorrow. First up is mail to Miss Spotty Socks' mailman & the Queen of trashpo's mailman. Bear in mind, it takes me days to recover from a trip, so no telling what I will come up with. Back to work for me. Glad y'all like the minis.
