May's Sister to Sister class is making marble magnets

Two-and-a-half months ago, the ladies at Metro came together for the first Sister to Sister class bringing women together and supporting the Women's Vocational Program in Ghana.  So far we've upcycled tee shirts, made candy dishes, and on Tuesday May 22 at 7pm we'll come together again and make marble magnets! 

There is no cost, but you will have to bring some glass marbles-the kind with the flat bottom that you can get at the dollar store, magnets, and we'll need donations of scrapbook paper (can be leftover scraps) and old magazines! For a better idea of this craft, check out Running With Glitter's blog post.

Also, we ask that each person donate $5 to the Ghanna Women's Vocational Training program so women who otherwise couldn't support their family can learn a craft or trade and never go hungry again.

This class is open to women of the public from any walk of life.  Plan on good conversation, great ladies, and a fun way to make birthday gifts for everyone you know this year!  

Bring a friend :-)

Ladie's upcycling tee shirt class was a success

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.
