Up-Cycle CSA

Community Supported Activities/Crafts/Ideas ~
a place to share ideas for re-purposing household items

As some of you may know the original name for the acronym CSA is Community Supported Agriculture and it is for people of the community to buy a share from a farmer. If you haven't heard of one before you should check one out in your area - a great way to eat locally! Anyhow, it seemed like a great name for the blog since it relates to gardening (blog has several word plays on gardening/flowers) and making positive changes to the environment (reusing).

Ok, now for a few details on our CSA ...

YOU:

• You/your family/your class will think of a way to use the supply item (you can look on the internet/through books/ if you want or you can think of something new).
  *The supply can be used at home, work, classroom,...
  *It can be for a craft, activity, reward system, organizational tool, decoration, etc.
  *It can be for kids, adults or both.
• By the end of the month you will then email me (saraballard6@yahoo.com) a picture or two of what you came up with and any instructions if needed.
• You don't have to participate each month.

ME:

• I will create a blog post for all of the ideas
• I will randomly choose from all of the participants which one will get the prize
