Folks, it’s post holiday, I’m cleaning the house, and even with our small garbage can we did just fine. That’s a point of pride in this eco-green household. Despite the grumbling, our use of one-use wrapping paper is minimal, and it shows when we take out the trash.

La Petite combined grocery bags with pretty paper.

An old card with bright scavenged paper.

A grocery bag acts as trim for a box.

And the tree still looked festive and fun.

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday and good times with family and special people.
