I don’t want to be negative, but I know I can do better with my waste-free efforts. Starting in July with the celebratory picnic and BBQ activities, including a Bethesda crab feed, it’s been difficult to stay on the waste-free path. Everything seems to come wrapped in paper! (FYI – I brought my own fork and cloth napkin to the crab fest, but couldn’t call it a waste-free meal.)
So, now that the celebrations are over, including the most recent wedding shower, I will concentrate on our #beewastefree initiative. Just so you know I haven’t been a total slacker, I did make a recycled paper card and flower sculpture for the guest of honor. It took more time than I expected because I haven’t been that crafty for a while…
Oh, and one last thing… The gift for the bride (and groom) is a live tree and some bulbs for their yard. ~Paula
Love the artsy paper flower. And love the wedding gift even more. The beauty of it is that it will be enjoyed day after day for years to come — far more probably than any place setting or crystal vase. 😉
Thanks so much for your kind comments, Carolyn. You are so right! I like giving trees because they are not only a gift for the recipient, but for the neighborhood and the planet as well. Thank you for checking out our blog. ~ Paula
