Seven Things Week 3

I'm pretty pleased with how it went this week, particularly as I was working out of town for 3 of the days.

I'm away for half of this week, too, so this may be the week that suffers.

Can you tell me more about paperworks.

HI Jess.

Paper and the Works operates a retail outlet out of The Green Shed at Mitchell. It is a social enterprise that recycles denim into paper, which it sells.

It sells donated craft materials from the Green Shed and is one 10-1 Mon-Fri and 10-12 on Sundays. Hideous hours, particularly as I live southside, but such a worthwhile enterprise I'm prepared to make the trip on a Sunday to donate.

It also runs regular craft workshops from Mitchell and also Watson.

http://www.paperworks.org.au is its website

Thank you. I found the website, but couldn't work out where they were. I will certainly visit green shed when they are there.
