Thinking about the oil spill

I've been extremely saddened by the Gulf Coast oil spill and every moment I have, I try to see what's happening at CNN. We've lately created a sea turtle for one of our clients, Alexandra and everytime I look at it, it reminds me of all the sea and land creatures affected by this catastrophe.


I've even discussed what's happening with the world with my soon to be 4 year old. She wanted to save the turtles and in lieu of presents, she's asking her guests to send a donation at http://www.savenature.org. Although not a direct donation to save the gulf coast at least save some part of our planet. I'm so proud of her! I've also been brainstorming on how to make her party eco-friendly...so paper scraps we have at Passion Paper, we'll be using as craft items for her birthday projects. I think any way to reuse, recycle and have less waste could benefit somehow to the environment. Here at our studio, we try to use every bit of the resources and therefore have less waste. That's why we also have no set quantity, just minimum cost. You order what you need with just a few extras and we make exactly that quantity - hardly any waste and of course, any waste, we recycle!

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!
