This year is pretty darn tight for me just like many other folks. I have very little money to go out and shop for gifts. But, what I do have is time. I am making stuff with what I have for people on my list. Re-purposing is a popular term for it. I started thinking about this popular term and my time. It is not a renewable resource. You only get so much, and that is it. You are done. I thought about re-purposing my time. What I can give my time to that is a re-purposing gift? I'm thinking about it that way from now on. I gave my re-purposing time gift to church yesterday to help other people make gifts with their art. It was all I had to give to something I care deeply about. It was the best way I could have spent a Saturday. Here are some photos of cool gifts that some participants made:
