Years ago, without knowing others were doing it, I discovered how many cool things I could make with wadded up paper bag pieces and Elmer's glue. I think this flooring idea is pretty awesome, and I love the earthy look of it. Thank you for sharing it!

Speaking of snag. My 25 year old Sears Kenmore Dryer is making a noise. I don't expect it to have an operating life of infinity, I'm thinking the belt may be dry rot. Certainly thats something I can repair. I saw where Hollylane posted about ~Gaige to the rescue~ on her dryer repair. Can someone point me in the direction of that research? Thank you again!

It was the washer that she repaired, and it is working fantastically! She went online and searched do-it-yourself videos and websites for my model of washer. Then she just went to work, with a look of joy and determination. I was pretty impressed!
