Earth Day is April 22 and what better way to celebrate our glorious planet is to have an earth day swap.Think of ways to replace something you use that creates waste to something reused. Such as fabric bowl covers instead of Saran Wrap, hankies instead of Kleenix. Fabric towels instead of paper towels, etc. The possibilities are endless and it is a great time to get creative and encourage everyone to help save our planet and keep things out of landfills.
Sign ups will go until March 26th and mail out will be April 15.

I just received my Amazing Earth Day Package from Dianna. She truly took recycling to a whole me level. The beautiful bowl she made me was made from egg cartons, but you could never tell. So many Wildflowers decorating the bowl, how I love Wildflowers. It is just so beautiful it really is. The glass jar she decorated with live flowers and added a tea light. I love it too. She also made the card with a live flower on front. Thank you Dianna for being so creative and teaching this old girl what recycling really means, with things around the house we use everyday. Also thank you for the extras, flowered canvas bag, Easter eggs and sweet napkins. I appreciate you so much.
 
Big Hugs,
Debbie

Thank you Wanda Sue! I love to try to repurpose things. Crafting takes my mind off the rough days of MS and Fibromyalgia pain. One day at a time the Lord takes care of me!

Karen, Thank you great things to help save waste! Love the napkins! And great drink cup! Rooster pin
I love roosters! The life savers in the bunny bag brought back sweet memories of the candy counter at our neighborhood store. Love your Bee card and stickers! Card goodies. So sweet.
Farmgirl Mail was much needed today! My stove and oven kicked the bucket Easter Sunday . Today I had to get my real ID drivers license. I came home to your box on my front porch!
It's much appreciated!

Hi Debbie! What a wonderful earth day package!! I love the vintage bee hat, someday it may come in quite handy! Its really unique! I love both bees representing our pollinators and how much we need them! Did you crochet the little one? FUNNY little saying that he's holding too, lol. My laundry room is painted a pretty yellow with black accents so all my bee things go in there. ;) Thank you so for the bookmark, wildflower seeds, earth day card and sticker! Your box is finally on the way. I made things that were recycled. It took a while for one to dry. Days actually. After all the rain we had I thought it would never dry!! :(
