Above all, spreading environmental awareness is the top priority of Reclaimed Rubbish, and tonight we had a chance to do just that. Every fourth Tuesday night, a group of ladies get together at the Metro Church of Christ building to share craft ideas. Tonight, we got to teach the ins and outs of tee shirt upcycling. We made tee shirt necklaces, dog toys, bracelets, tutus, and talked about the reusable tee shirt produce bags that Reclaimed Rubbish will be launching soon.
I want to give a special thanks to the ladies of Metro Church of Christ in Gresham, Oregon for putting together this wonderful program for ladies all over our area to attend, and we're excited to see it grow. Not only is it giving women an opportunity to come together, it is helping to raise money for a Women's Vocational Training program in Ghana, Africa where women who might not have an education or a husband to support the family are learning a trade that they can take into the world and keep food on the table.
Keep checking back to see what craft we'll be working on next month when we announce the information for the next Sister to Sister class. If you would like more information on how you can help the Women's Vocational Training program in Ghana, please email thebiblechick@yahoo.com.

We are two hilarious girls scouring the countryside for all things lost and tossed so we can use our imagination to create new things through the process of upcycling so we can give something beautiful back to the world. Our environmental responsibility to reduce, reuse, and recycle is our number one priority, and watching something old and tossed out become something new and beautiful is what we live to do.
