I'm back from my trip and my mom has got me started on a new craft, Crocheting with Grocery Bags! She showed me a disk from Kitty Creek Studios, a company where the owner makes and sells recycled items. Some of them are really neat, as you can see from her site! She makes her ideas available in the hopes of saving grocery bags from the landfill.

If you crochet and would like to do this yourself, here are some easy instructions on how to process the bags into "yarn" and a quick search of the net will give you patterns.
