Amy, I love reading your blog. You are a good writing and I enjoy reading about your family. This was a great recycling story! Thank you for all the great stories!
What a great idea. And it looks great!
I was just thinking about doing this to a girls' bike we bought at a yard sale for our oldest boy...thanks for the info -- it looks great!! :-)
Very creative and good for the environment!! Yay! Your page looks super cute too. Way to go, Aim!
Definitely a "re-cycle" :) Good for you.
Our neighbor across the street bought two new bikes for his twins and put the "old ones" out for the trash. They were beautiful...and like new. We gave them to our grandson and granddaughter and they couldn't be happier.
Disposable society, unfortunately.
That's awesome!!! :)
Love the before n' after pic!
btw, i'm so glad i peeked back here, for some reason i thought i had read you were "discontinuing" your blog. SO GLAD YOU DIDN'T!! FB is just not the same as your cute blog entries! ;)
