You can buy my affordable, eco-friendly creations on Etsy.com.Claudia MBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16129174274991976727noreply@blogger.comBlogger1125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070187178907497514.post-17463956980642611212013-06-19T18:26:00.003-07:002019-07-21T07:07:19.842-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I take items that others have abandoned and give them new life as cool stuff. My current passion is finding old hardback books with retro covers and turning them into <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/wasnowcreations" target="_blank">cases for Kindles, iPads and other tablets</a>. </span><br />
