ABOUT THIS EXPERT

Theres an empty plastic milk jug sitting on your counter. What do you do with it? What about that old, beat-up pair of skates taking up space in the closet?

For most people its a no-brainer. Jennifer Roos is not most people. For this craft book author, columnist and blogger, everyday household items become beautiful crafts. She even dips into the recycling bin for materials.

And she couldn`t be happier!
