Wow!

Wow - I'm not ready to dive into the 8 W's but I wanted to jot a bit about why I'm "Craftin' Green"! I love love love flipping through craft books at work and home to get ideas for projects I can do at work and home. My biggest complaint, and it's the same for cooking, is that I don't have the materials already on hand. But crafting with recycled goods, or upcyling as I heard it called today, makes that obstacle so much easier to overcome. And even if you don't have the stuff readily available you can usually get other to help you round up and save them until you have enough. I was at ILF's CYPD conference today and sat in on a session about Green Programming @ Your Library and I am so excited to get started on this project because many of the ideas I heard today are things I've already done and/or would like to expand on.
