I wanted to share some exciting news with you. Back in December I was asked to write articles for Proctor & Gamble's blog Home Made Simple. I get to write about upcycling, organizing and crafting. The style is quite different to what I write here but I get to be creative with my ideas. The best part is that I'm being paid to write. For those that know me well, this is a dream come true.
If you are looking for ideas on RePurposing Pie Tins written by me, then please head over to Home Made Simple for my article. I do get paid and additional 5¢ for each unique click using this link: http://mvb.me/s/3e4220
I will be posting my articles through the Apron Thrift Girl blog mixed in with ATG posts.
Writing these articles is also partly why I have neglected ATG. I am going to be focusing a lot on Apron Thrift Girl in March so expect a lot more posts and definitely Thrift Share Mondays.
I'll be adding other article links here later in the week.
PS. the photo above is not a pie tin. Instead it's a vintage ice cube tray with my washi tape collection. I just adore that tape. I.can't.get.enough.
Congratulations!!
I have an old ice cube tray - I'm getting it out for washi tape!! Great idea!

I don't understand why you're writing for P&G websites. Their products are terrible for the environment, and their CFO is on the board of directors for Monsanto. I always took you for an environmentally conscious person. I just don't get it.

Donna, I do understand what you are saying. It took me quite awhile to come to a decision to write for them. But it also is my first opportunity to be paid to do what I love which is write. Not only that but I get to write about crafting and organizing. And if people come to my blog from their site they will know that I am eco-conscious and maybe Ill have an influence on them. The other way that I look at it is that with this money Im able to write more on ATG (which for nearly 7 years has been pretty much unpaid), buy more organic food, spend money on Waldorf education and really focus on where my dollar is going. Its not a perfect solution but its what I came to. At the end of the day, Im focusing on my writing which is about upcycling and recycling which I think is a great message to spread to the world. Thanks for listening.
xoxo

Congratulations Selena! I just started writing for P&GE and HMS as well, and I understand exactly what you are saying about it being dream come true--I feel the same way! Nice to virtually meet you!
