When my mother was still here and young in the early 60s, a friend of her and mom wrote a book, "Trash to Treasurers." My mother was making crafts and recycling when it wasn't the popular thing to do. Her friend, who has also passed did the illustrations and writing and mom did all the ideas and finished items for her friend to draw for the book. They made some money from it. Not filthy rich, but they did pretty good. When the book came out, they had to fight with some people trying to use mom and her friend's title on their books. Mom's friend and her won. Mom didn't want money. She just wanted them to stop using their title because it was interfering with their profits. Once it was settled, mom and friend did finally start making a little more money. They are both gone now and somewhere in all my lifetime of totes I have a copy of that book. I was probably about 12 or 13 when they wrote that book so some of the details are blurry. I did however babysit her friend's two sons and my little sister so they could finish the book. My mother was very much like you. She could take absolutely nothing and turn it into something wonderful. Give that woman a bleach jug and it became an Easter Basket when people didn't do such things and a very cute basket at that. She made Christmas tree ornaments out of bits of this and that and made quite a bit of money. She did the Sunday morning craft every week with the kids at Sunday school at the church. She couldn't draw a stick figure but give her things and she would make the most wonderful pieces. You would have had fun with her Patti. I did. I miss her. Thanks for sharing as always. You are remarkable.

Thank you so much Kathy, what a beautiful story. I bet she was incredible. That is so awesome that your mom and her friend wrote a book. I crafted with my grandmother from age 5 and she taught me alot about making things from items we had on hand. We spent lots of time together crafting. Great memories. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Have a blessed week.

Patti. Your last little message at the end of this video felt like a message from God if you believe in such things. I was talking to my son who has had so much heartache recently hospitalised 5 times last year and one this, then other dreadful events. I said to him I feel as if God is telling us well here comes another blow to deal with. Put the phone down and heard your message. Sometimes we don’t realise how much our words can mean to others. So thank you 💕. Needed that today.

Thank you so much for this comment. I am a believer, and could not live my life without God in it. During hard times, I just turn all my troubles over to him and pray very often. I am sorry that your son is going through hardtimes right now. I will pray for him, and I will pray for strength for you my friend.

I've made several of these a few years ago, and I have to paint it every 3 years or so and recolor his heart, because out in the weather it rust some. But I absolutely love it. Now I've got something else in mind to make, which will be just as easy. I love the tin man.

Metal coffee cans no longer exist, so I've saved a few old ones. Now I'm looking for projects. When I was a kid, coffee cans were receptacles for marbles, pennies, plants, popsicle sticks, etc.

If you have one of those crank can openers that makes smooth edges when you open the can, a good one to save is tuna cans. The lids fit back on them after they are open and they can be decorated. I use them in my art space for all sorts of small items that would otherwise be in one big mess in a box. They are great for projects with kids too. I bleach them to make sure the tuna smell is out of them.

✍Hello...Back in the 50s and going to summer Bible School we made a wishing well planter using a Maxwell House coffee can (MWH Coffee made a tin of coffee half the size of the can you're using) We covered the tin with rough twine then varnished it. The roof was made with 2 pieces of thin wood glued together in a peak and wrapped with covered with the same twine and varnished and then we added a small house plant. Yours is really pretty. Good Night😴 God Bless. Bye from NE Ohio
