Giveaway 2: My Recycled Bags
I love the Bloggy Giveaways. It gives me a chance to meet new people and it also introduces new readers to Thrifty Mommy. Some folks don’t know we’re around here trying to save money and this helps get the word out. Welcome everyone! We’re glad you’re here! :)
The second giveaway comes from Cindy of My Recycled Bags. Cindy has given her time to create a unique bag just for Thrifty Mommy. This bag is made from recycled plastic bags. How cool is that?
My Recycled Bags is a blog dedicated to recycling and crafting. Cindy crochets and sews using a variety of recycled materials. Her creations include the use of plastic grocery bags, bread bags, Vcr video tape, cassette tape, denim, bed sheets, rags, and other materials. She offers patterns for totes, purses, handbags, water bottle holders, bibs, wheelchair totes, clothes pin bag, rugs, dishcloths, potholders, coasters, doll clothes, and other re-purposed items. All patterns are free for personal use and posted at her blog. Cindy loves to share and inspire others in the art of green crafting. So take a moment and stop by Cindy’s blog to learn more about the wonderful world of green, recycled crafts.
To enter this contest, all you need to do is leave a comment at this post between now and Friday, April 25th. The winner will be contacted via email, so please be sure you leave a valid email address. Please leave your email address in the box under your name instead of in the comment section. Due to shipping costs, this giveaway is open to US and Canadian addresses only.
Please check out my other giveaways at A Healthy Balance and Little Fun; Little Learning.
Good luck!
