Im over stuffed with stuffed animals

I have to tell you.. My daughter has all these stuffed animals and they drive me nuts. So because she wouldn't throw them away I made her bag them up and take them to her dads. In the mean time I am crocheting a chess set for my son and realized I didn't have stuffing. So what did I do? I took a stuffed animal that would have gone into the trashed and recycled it. I pulled the stuffing out to stuff the new toys. This saves money and waste. I have also had a brain fart of trying to do something with the skin of these stuffed animals. Haven't figured out anything but I am sure there is something out there for it. One thing that just came to mind is a memory blanket. My aunt made these blankets that had fur and old clothes cut up on the other side. So why not cut the fur into squares and make a quilt. Until later
