So, we are going to do today’s Crafty Tuesday a little differently. Partly because even though our Crafty Party last week was totally fun, I didn’t get any real crafting done, and I don’t have anything to show today.\u00a0 But mostly<\/strong><\/em> because I was reading Swistle<\/a> last week and wanted to get in on her idea for some giveaways to raise awareness on the CPSIA issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The CPSIA legislation doesn’t directly affect me since I don’t sell any of my goods. But it could seriously hurt my Etsy addiction, and the world of handmade crafts in general. I know that many of you have already joined me in signing the petitions and writing your congressmen and women, I just ask that you continue your support. And proof that every signature and letter helps – last week the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission voted to suspend the act for one year<\/a> to review the rules and how they will enforce it. Good news for all crafty folks and hopefully a reasonable solution will be found.<\/p>\n

So on to the giveaway! I will craft a custom bag for the winner. It can be a kidlet<\/a> for your kiddie, or a reusable shopping bag<\/a> for yourself. Leave a comment and promise that you will at least click the “Save Handmade” button over there on the right (see it?) and see if there is something you might be able to do to help.<\/p>\n

That’s it! I’ll leave the comments open until Sunday, February 8th at midnight. Then I’ll randomly select a winner and we’ll collaborate to get you a sweet bag!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
