Reuse your Plastic Bags * Craft Tutorial * Organization

Pinterest does it again!

Inspiration arose from Tater Tots & Jello.

This is what I created:

What is it you may ask?

I finished off a container of disinfectant wipes and then Modge Podged fabric and ribbon to the outside of it.

Then I followed a tutorial that shows how to strategically roll your plastic grocery bags so that they pull out like wipes.

Whala!  A great container of 12 plastic bags that I can toss in the car or keep in the kitchen!

Amazon Mom - Ridiculous!

I am soooo disappointed in Amazon right now.

We have been loyal subscribers of Amazon for their Earth's Best diapers through 2 children now.  We loved the great discounts that we received through Amazon Mom and the Subscribe and Save discounts.

Now, though, they are requiring those that have used this program to now join Amazon Prime, which is $79 per year! RIDICULOUS!

The cost savings on diapers is nearly eliminated now!

I am so bummed and I hope that other will help to spread the word.

Can we get Amazon to change???

This is the email that they sent me two days ago - Thanks for the notice! Seriously? 2 weeks?

Once again....RIDICULOUS!!!
