Hi everybody! I have been meaning to post this little blurb for a few days now, and time has gotten the better of me this week. I am participating in Earth 911′s latest blogger design challenge. We were asked to come up with a project for a gadget case that would be functional and use recycled components as it’s main materials. I chose to make my ipad case and my mom a case for her kindle using a padded mailer and record covers from my ever growing collection. It was a lot of fun to make! Earth 911 is a fantastic website and blog. They have info on where you can find your nearest recycling center, and their blog is full of cool ways to repurpose lots of stuff. Their design contest is going on until the January 30th. I’d be just delighted to have my lovely readers vote for me icon smile Earth 911 Reuse Design Challenge Contest You can vote on their website Here. Once the contest is over I’ll be posting the tutorial for it on the blog. Until then….

Happy Crafting!

Today we decided to take Beau to the Flea Market down in Raleigh. It was so beautiful outside, and there was a lot of vendors out, which is always great! I saw a lot of furniture I would love to have bought, but our budget doesn’t allow for bigger purchases for now. I did however find two awesome cutter tablecloths and an adorable 45 record case. Pretty great scores today, if I do say so myself!
