What did you do for Earth day?

Well, I'm doing baby steps ... earlier this winter I changed out as many light bulbs as I could to the compact fluorescent ones, I've been buying/acquiring reusable bags for shopping (and using them) and I purchased a new stainless drinking container for my water or tea. I have to give props to reusablebags for their fab service ... I ordered this
Kleen Kanteen stainless bottle ------------------>
on Sunday and received it WEDNESDAY ! I got a polkadotted sleeve instead of the solid and also ordered an extra loop top lid
as I read the sport lid could possibly leak a bit if tipped in a tote.
If you're thinking of ordering one use code f70838 for 20% off. They seem to be a great company.





I've been bitten by the creating bug and FINALLY had an idea for the April atc swap. The took more time than I thought they would. I found a photo on line, altered it in PS then after printing it in the correct size I sanded it so it would look old. I added a bit of black paint along the outside and stamped a few musical notes to the image. For the little mini rolodex I made a text box in word and filled in the background color so the lettering would be white. I like how the rolodex punch turned out. The black photo corners make it look antiquie too. The lyrics are from a Bobby Vinton song that we used to sing.

I'm in the creating mood so I plan on working on the birthday card swap, AFTER trolling some blogs for inspiration.
