Weekly Giveaway: National Craft Month!

I'm late, I'm late... but it's not the first time, and knowing me, it probably won't be the last, lol! This past week was a rough one, I lost a dear friend in a tragic accident last Tuesday and with all the gatherings, arrangements and services, it was both difficult and full of reflection. It makes you count your blessings, that's for sure! Which leads to my one and only tip for Wasteless Wednesday and this coming week: Don't waste a minute with your family and friends~ you never know when you may lose the chance to see them again.

Now back to our Giveaway~ We're excited to announce the winner of last week's Giveaway from Rescued Goods! Congrats to Marija, our 24th entry! She'll be toting Vanessa's handmade upcycled rice bag beach tote! And thank you, Vanessa for sponsoring the team's Giveaway. We hope to get more sponsors lined up and would love to hear from anyone interested in promoting their shop by giving away an item valued at least $10. Let us know by dropping a line to teamupcyclers@gmail.com ~

This week we're offering some craft supplies I put together in honor of National Craft Month, which we've been celebrating with features and sales from several of our team members. These funky fiber yarns are perfect for creating gift tags, bookmarks, ornaments or embellishing your papercraft projects~ I love them and thought I'd share a few from my stash! Each card has about 3 yards of yarn on it~ a total of about 18 yards. I chose some pretty springtime colors, too!



For this Giveaway, I also decided to do something a bit different for the entries! First, I'll post the shops offering sales during Nat'l Craft Month~ then you can pick any four shops for your four entries. For each shop you choose, favorite it and then tell us here which item in that shop is your favorite, for one entry each~ A fun way to check out some great sales and shops! So here we go...

    So hard to pick ONE shop and one item. ;) I love Our Childrens Earth recycled crayons. I bought a DIY doll from Girla GoGo Designs. Oh and can't forget the buttons I ordered from Brizel Supplies! Happy Upcycling Crafting everyone. We are honored to have these shops offer us special coupons, and now a giveaway too! Thanks Cat.
