Upcycling Challenge

Recently Earth Day Canada launched its Upcycling Challenge,
which I have been asked to participate 
in. 



If you have been been reading my blog for some time you would know that I like to upcycle! Nothing like taking something cast-off and turning it into something fabulous! Not only does it give you a one-of-a-kind piece for you home you are saving the environment as well. One less thing in the landfill.

But 

the challenge is also open to you! 

The three categories are:


Make something new from something old and you could win one of these:


Panasonic Cordless Tools

Perfect for the DIYer! 

This contest closes on November 27, 2011 and is open to Canadian residents.
For more information and official contest rules, read this.

Here are some past projects:



So why don't you join me and other bloggers in creating something from nothing!

Are you up to the challenge??
