Greening Your Holiday Routines

I've said it before, and here I am saying it again--I am a big big fan of Pinterest.  Being a visual to the N-th degree, I find it appeals to the heart of both my learning and organizational style.  In this last week before Christmas, here are a few finds & links I've tucked away on both my Christmas Pinterest Board & my "Eco-Mania" P-Board.  Think of them sort of like goodies I'm now tucking in your stockings, as a way to add creativity AND sustainability to your holidays!!
