happy earth day to you

Happy Earth Day! I think every day should be Earth Day if we want to keep living here, but at least we have this one little moment to stop and go, huh... maybe there's more we can do... I'm not sure how actually "green" it is to make beads out of trash-glass, but I'm really happy with the look of them at least. Don't you think these are the most beautiful garbage you've ever seen? These beads started out as a wine bottle!



And Happy BIRTHday to my niece, Kelsey! She was 16 yesterday. I sent her this necklace, made with auto-glass beads to give her some good juju when she gets her driver's license!



And speaking of recycling. I just found out about SolesUnited. They take old Crocs shoes, shred 'em up, and recycle them into new shoes that are donated to people in need around the world. I'm a big fan of Crocs already, but now I have an even better excuse to buy new shoes. when they're old and worn out, I'll turn them in and give them a second life!

Here's to our Mother Earth. Let's all do something nice for her today. And every day!
