I also have a hard 12' x 12' 4" high hard plastic container I keep all my scraps.<br />LindaB in WI<br />pploons@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244102758217907923.post-17943153294196375222011-12-06T23:21:53.760-07:002011-12-06T23:21:53.760-07:00I always make a few extra cuts when making somethi...I always make a few extra cuts when making something I know I'll use again.
