SNAG A BAG **

With your help, we’re also reinventing the conference carry-all with SNAG-A-BAG SWAP. Grab one of those bags from your conference tote collection and upcycle it! Yep, we’re asking you to re-purpose one you already have by painting, dyeing, printing, scribbling, tufting, embroidering and generally embellishing the bag into a new, one-of-a-kind collector’s item. Bring it to the conference to swap it for a different one, then locate the new owner of your bag – and start a new friendship.

Bags can also be mailed if you are not attending the conference but want to participate. The deadline to receive mailed bags is May 30th. Send to:

Please shoot Miki an e-mail to let her know you have mailed something: mikirodriguez2007@yahoo.com

                   

**If you decide to participate in this tote bag exchange, please send me a photo. I will gather the pictures and post on the blog.

The idea here is for each person to have an up cycled tote bag for the conference. Then, if you are attending, you can watch to see who selected yours and go and meet them. The totes will be conversation starters. Isn't that a great idea?
