In asking around for some great ideas for making crafts out of recycled items, one of my peeps over at Homespun Helpers gave me a link to this great idea she had.

Blind and texture embossing techniques
If you are a fan of adding subtle elements to your art this idea for embossing shapes and textures could be just the technique you will want to try. I haven’t had much success in the past but the tips included in the post over at The Curious Printmaker on how to blind emboss just might turn that around.
Drawer fresheners is a great idea except…when the temperature gets hot, they do get soft and will leave spots in your drawers and get on your clothes. Does this sound like the voice of experience? I do put them in the ash tray of my car. On a hot day when you open the car door, it smells great.
