ReMaking It with The Creative Connection!

I'm super excited to be a part of this year's The Creative Connection! This conference is being sponsored by Sterling, the super-awesome publishers of my book, ReMake It.

I'm excitedly preparing for my sessions on Repurposed paper - creating gift bows, paper beads and more. Class participants will learn all my paper tricks for ReMaking projects from magazine pages. There will be loads of other super-awesome classes led by other authors, crafters, cooks, and more. A few highlights include crafty faves like Shannon Okey, Betz White, and Ashley English.

So get Creative! Get Connected! And secure your crafty spot this September! There are still a few registration spots open. The event is September 15 - 17 in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Times for upcycled office designs!

Hey there RePlayGround readers!

Here's a great article that came out yesterday in the New York Times. It's titled Making Designs out of Rubbish by Penelope Green. It talks about my work with the uber-awesome-upcycling company TerraCycle and about our upcycled office renovations that I put together with the rest of the design crew.

If you're interested in having your own office space upcycled, let me know!

GoGo and upcycle with us tomorrow!

GoGo squeeZ and TerraCycle will be taking part in this year’s Summer Streets event in New York City and we'll be there showing people how to upcycled items from their packaging material!

Summer Streets was set up in the city as a way to let people walk, run, bike, rollerblade and just enjoy the fresh air without being bothered by the noise and pollutants of cars. The festivities will run during three consecutive Saturdays, August 6, 13, 20 from 7am to 1pm. Our location is at Foley Square in NYC on the corner of Lafayette Street and Duane Street.

Check out the GoGo squeeZ tents where you’ll find samples of the GoGo squeeZ product and some fun activities. You will be able to take part in a TerraCycle upcycling event, where you can make wallets and bows out of GoGo squeeZ pouches! Come to the event and upcycle with us!
