Brilliant Creativity in Re-Purposing

RE-PURPOSE ~
The term to me is synonymous with
 CLEVER!

I love those Ah Ha moments when 
I read about clever ideas turned in to useful new items!

 I often times sit in awe of the
 brilliance one must possess in order to be so creative.

Simplicity in thought but so useful!

Have you Re-Purposed anything lately?

Think twice about what you throw out,
you may be able to create the next great gadget~
we all can't live without!

Live Your AUTHENTIC LIFE ~ Be the REAL You!

Actually I,m repurpasing things permanently, it is a task and feeds my creative 'hunger'.

Love the look of the scrub brush organizer, brilliant idea! Just wonder if it is also practical for daily life???
