Now Live From the ER

I went on an amazing ski weekend to Ellicotville, New York with a group of friends this weekend.

When I planned the trip I was nervous, but not because I thought I would end up here:

Bertrand  Chaffee Hospital

Yes I managed to get myself checked into the hospital, scored a sweet IV, and lived to tell about driving for thirty minutes with the hubster in the middle of nowhere through a bunch of backwoods streets in a snow storm.

I am still recovering, but I am back home getting ready to launch Project Recycled tomorrow. I had some great suprizes planned for tomorrow, but right now I honestly just want to get the contest up and running and go back to bed.

So please check back tomorrow for the first round of Project Recycled!

I can't wait.

Now I am about to head back up to bed (I will spare you the details but I didn't break anything, it was just a complication that stemmed from having interstitial cycstitis)

Peace, Love, and Recycling,

Project Recycled - Starting Monday

I can not believe it is almost here.

I have been working diligently behind the scenes to got a new and exciting contest up on the Internet.

That contest is Project Recycled!

What I have been doing :)

I have been building a little business taking shirts from mommas and turning them into dresses and for kidlets. I have been having so much fun I thought, what if their was a contest. A chance for other recycling and upcycling seamstresses to transform something old and mundane into something beautiful and wearable.

So starting next week we will have seven wonderful contestants competing for the title of the first Project Recycled winner. Hopefully you will not only stay tuned and check out the amazing items that they create, but you will also vote. Your votes will decide each week who gets to go on to the next round.

Everyone will have a blog button up on the side of the blog soon so please click over, check them out, and enjoy the contest!
