Repurposing Inspiration from the Blogosphere

I love to repurpose, reuse, and recycle stuff. We use all kinds of things for different purposes. For example, we used a cooling rack (and wood kindling and tissue paper) to create a campfire for our fishing trip. We cooked our "catch" over the fire.

This week I read some other great ideas and inspiration for reusing and repurposing items.
