3 Doors Down – Junk Creation

This week, Junk Creation is the blog that I’ll be spotlighting for the ‘Three Doors Down’ series.

I sent Peggy Rowland, the host of  Junk Creations a few questions,  and she got back to me quick like a bunny. Thanks, Peggy!

1]      What is your main focus on Junk Creation? (are you mostly  tutorial based or a ‘gathering of info’ blog?)
The main focus isn’t tutorial. I’ve been reinventing the blog since taking it over in April. I want to provide a nice community for both junk creators and junk creation lovers to gather. You don’t have to make projects to enjoy the site. While I am doing some tutorial junk creations of my own (My Junk Creations), I’m also featuring the junk creations of others. These junk creations may come from the web, reader emails, professional junk artists, or books. I plan on featuring several retail junk creations as well. I’m also going to provide reviews of books that may be of interest to junk readers. With all these projects my emphasis is on reusing existing materials you’d otherwise throw away. I don’t feature projects that involve having to buy materials (with the exception of maybe paint and other essentials like Mod Podge). Please check out the About page for more info.

2]      What brought you to this blog?
I also write at Tree Hugging Family, and the green focus of this blog attracted me. It’s a fun blog and I try to keep things very light hearted and upbeat.

3]      What is your most favorite aspect of writing Junk Creation?
Discovering all the wonderful junk creations out there. And challenging myself to not throw things away that I could use for junk projects. I really like to think of possible uses for objects that can’t be recycled. But even if the objects can be recycled, it’s sometimes better to reuse them if that means you can avoid buying something new. So, I guess it’s the reuse aspect that I like the most.

4]      What is your least favorite part about it?

I haven’t found a least fave part yet.

5]      Do you ever get memorable, odd or funny requests or comments?
Not yet!

6]      What have you learned the most by writing Junk Creation?
I’ve learned to never be afraid your junk project won’t be useful. I haven’t regretted any projects yet.

7]      Do you have dry spells with the blog? If so, what gets you inspired again?
I don’t think I’ve been there long enough for that. But if I’m having trouble I  can always look through my recycling bin for ideas!

So, there you have it: FOUR doors down, is Junk Creation! check it out!
