Open For Business!

Today marks a very exciting day for me. The Recycled Shop is now open for business! Late 2009 I got this passion to find something to keep my hands busy during my free time. The result = The Recycled Shop. I started ripping up a magazine and messing around with what I could do with it. Slowly but surely I had crafted a bowl completely out of magazine - about the size of a typical fruit bowl. I still have that bowl today. It is sitting in the middle of my kitchen island, but when people come over I quickly hide it to say the least! Haha! It was pretty bad, but I was really proud of myself! So I pushed harder and kept trying - eventually after many terrible tries - I was successful!

Then one day, as I was crafting away on a bowl, watching the Today show (total morning ritual, Jason claims it is an addiction) they mentioned www.etsy.com. They talked about how great it was that people were able to sell their handmade items there, so I checked it out. I decided I would give it a go, but I wanted to do this right.

Months after brainstorming and working at possible items to sell - the day finally came to open shop - and that day is today!

Hope you enjoy my shop!
