Upcycling def. the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value.
A good week for Upcycling!
We gave a bag of fireworks to a neighbor who was going to a big family celebration. (They *really* enjoyed them, which made me oh-so-happy! We've been saving them for an occasion for ages, so giving them away to help celebrate someone else's special occasion felt really good!)
Two kennels went to a friend of ours who has a new kitten (we had three kitty crates, and three kitties; now we just have our one cat, Puffin Muffin, with us, so we only need the one crate).

Some gift bags went to a new home through Freecycle. (No photo ... they went so quickly!)
Two stacks of magazines went out on Freecycle as well.
I also sold a homeschooling book through an online group.
The Little Ones have suddenly decided that they're done with baby food, so the pouches of purees went to our local homeless shelter.
But really, the big Upcycle this week were the three huge bags of baby clothes that I took to a consignment sale yesterday. I marked all of my items to be donated if they don't sell, so it's really a triple whammy; I move some things out of the house, I may make some money from the venture and other people get the benefit of the donated items - it's all good!
