Beware of Dog when Junking, by Kristi Love, Love, Love your site! I am a total junker. Dumps,clean-up week, or even trash cans don't scare me. My children and husband are mortified. Anyway during clean- up week here in town I conned my husband into driving me around to look. I found an old window frame that was calling my name in a pile. He drove right past and would not stop. Later that night around 10, he asked if I still wanted that frame , of course I said yes. He told me to go get it then. It was dark and I wanted to make sure I had the right house, so I did a couple of drive-bys. I wanted to make sure that nobody thought I was stealing anything other than junk, so I shut my lights off, pulled into the alley and tried to be very quite. I got out, grabbed the window frame, and about that time a dog started barking. You could tell it was large, I screamed, held the frame in front of me for protection and then tried to find a safe place to climb up on. Only after porch lights came on did I realize the dog's kennel was right beside my car door and I had woke him up. I jumped in and took off, zig-zagging around the streets in case the police were on my tail. I didn't want to get arrested for suspicious activity. When I finally got home, I was laughing so hard I couldn't even talk to tell my husband the story. What an experience! P.S. It's perfectly legal to take the junk on clean-up week and my husband is a deputy sheriff. Just to clarify I am not a criminal!! Please send in your junking story here

Screen Display board by Margo
I purchased this screen at the last Red Shed Sale. Valorie (Red Shed Girl) suggested this ribbon project to me. I simply took some ribbon, looped it through this unusual screen, stapled it at the back, and hung photo's and post cards from it. I also added a couple of shelves, but that is not necessary for this project. Thanks Val for the great idea.
If you found a project particularly inspiring please email me. If you have a Trash to Treasure project you'd like me to spotlight, Just send me a picture and I'll post it on the "Reader Content" page.
My goal is to make this site the most thorough clearinghouse of Trash to Treasure Ideas for everyone. A place that projects are handy and do not disappear over time. Thank you for visiting, I hope you find a project to spark your imagination and start the creative juices flowing. Now go find some Junk and get started.
I've designed my site to be like a giant idea file. Simply click the file tab for the idea folder you
want to open.
Safety I'd like to say a quick word about safety. Please use common sense when doing any of these projects. Use Caution with saws and power tools. Remember to wear gloves and eye protection. We want you to enjoy years of junking and crafting, so please play it safe.
