I absolutely adore the snails and owls! Such a fantastic idea, and a result that is so much nicer than mass-produced junk. I'm really trying to get better at wasting less. I've definitely improved my spending habits to not buy anything I don't really need, but still need to improve my re-purposing skills. My boyfriend is pretty fantastic on that front, at least. It drives me nuts sometimes to have extra junk lying around the house, but if at all possible he'll find a use for just about anything. I'm happy to have a partner who is much more creative than I am in that manner!
