So the big day is coming up: UpcycleSLO's Craft Extravaganza!
We are benefitting the Women's Shelter, and we have a contest for YOU!

Bring in any of the following items and be entered in a RAFFLE TO WIN a hand-made item by yours truly. You will either win a silverware caddy (perfect for camping, biking or keeping your silverware clean in your purse when you take your lunch to work) OR, a personalized cloth banner (come to the sale and you'll see what these are!)

WHAT THE SHELTER NEEDS: Diapers (size 3), pull-ups and wipes.    Also, with the holidays fast approaching food cards, Visa gift cards and even frozen turkeys or hams are always needed.
See you SUNDAY!

ECO CRAFTERS UNITE!!

Slowly but surely UpcycleSLO is chugging along, meeting other creative types, pushing our boundaries of what it means to upcycle.

I want to meet someone with an idea of how to upcycle all the old couches students leave out on the streets!

We are planning a Holiday craft sale, date to be announced.  If you want to particpate write to us and tell us (details please) what you do, what materials you use and a little about yourself.  You don't have to be a uber-super-crafter with your own Etsy site. Just a creative person with maybe a few things to sell or simply show to the public, and the desire to meet others and challenge yourself to think outside the box, up the anty on your creativity, reuse what you find around you to create interesting new items.

Chalk drawings on the pavement made by resident and visiting toddlers are all that remains of the 2nd UpcycleSLO craft sale. I am so inspired by my companeras, my fellow crafters!  Jen, Erin, Careen and her sister, Melinda, Monica.....Thank you to the particpants and for everyone who came and bought something, donated some, or just came to say hi. 

We made over $100 to donate to the Women's Shelter!

Go to http://www.womensshelterslo.org/ to find out how you can donate more.
