The first thing on the right when I come into my office is a paper recycling bin which is usually full of crappy adverts magazines and forms. Me being a crafty paper lover, I check from time to time just in case someone drops in a magazine with some nice images. This morning I almost squealed with happiness seeing the bin half full with this lovely shredded paper. I had wanted to get my hands on some recycled paper strips for a while.
As I was on the last bit of training that took way too long for my short attention spam I immediately asked my boss for some glue and made these up while my computer was booting up.
I am really happy that I have this strips at work so I can roll some flowers in my lunch breaks and get away without looking too much like a weirdo. (I work in a very technical place)

OMG. I can use shreddy strips! Oh dear. This does not bode well for productivity at work. I just had not made the connection, but of course one could use paper shreds.
Thanks for the brilliant idea!

My colleague in the office saw this and said "I see why you're marrying her"
She has a point.
i can see Elena being responsible for a few sackings in the next few months...

Elena, How about a quilled wedding bouquet?

I'd never throw it! Think of all the disappointed women in the crowd if I held on to it!

Oh boy. I tried quilling with some of these scraps tonight. It's so hard! Elena watched as I just embarrassed myself. She really does have the patience of a saint
