Treasury Tuesday - Celebrate EARTH DAY!

Earth Day 2012 is coming up-- this Sunday, April 22.  To celebrate this year, we've already planted 2 trees in our yard this week.   I don't know if it's just me, but there's something humbling about planting something and realizing that it will be here long after I'm gone...  It always takes forever to pick a spot in the yard to plant trees.  It's a hard decision for me to try to figure out where this little twig I'm planting would like to live for the next 50 or 100 years or more!   But I guess that's not exactly a bad thing...

This week in my Etsy shop, I'm running a little Earth Day Sale on my Wrapper Purse Patterns through Sunday.  Making your own unique purses and totes out of things that usually end up in a landfill somewhere-- it's a great way to recycle!  And it's so fun too!  I had a ball when I used to make these little purses to sell at craft shows and on my original website.  (Here's a link to some photos on Flickr showing a few examples of what I created using these original copyrighted patterns:  Wrapper Purse Photos)   Feel free to share this sale with friends who are interested in upcycling crafts.

I also made a new treasury today including a few earth friendly items available for sale at the Etsy Marketplace.  I love to see what other people are doing to keep things out of the landfills!  There are some very creative minds out there in Etsy-land...  :)
