Hey!

This is a really great organization a friend of mine has been involved in for years.  I know GOTR is everywhere and it just such a positive organization to be involved it.  Although I don't run much, I'm getting involved by helping to re-cycle/ up-cycle old GOTR shirts into usable totes while donating a portion of the sale to the organization.  It's a win win really, we get to advertise GOTR, help the organization, and I get to be crafty along the way.  I've attached some pictures of the bags I've made, along with a link to my friends site.  If you have any questions just let me know.
Thanks!!!
Cassie

Girls on the Run Tote Bag Order Form

Order your very own one of a kind GOTR tote bag made from a GOTR t-shirt! These one of a kind totes are being designed by Cassandra Donovann. She describes her work as, "Creating handbags that are simple in style but have an organic, natural, and beautiful quality about them. Then adding in an original piece to each handbag so that no two are exactly alike." She is extremely talented and we are lucky she is lending her creativity to GOTR for this great opportunity. Check out her blog and more of her work here: http://cassandra-donovann.blogspot.com/ Cost: Bags are $25 with $5 from each bag going directly towards scholarships for GOTR Cincinnati! Additional donations are accepted as well! The portion of the proceeds that go to GOTR and additional donation amounts are tax deductible. 

Bag Examples: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwmXmYlgZ-oXRGhhMExvRU5aWUU/edit?usp=sharing T-shirt colors are on a first come first serve basis. These are shirts from previous seasons and some choices are limited so if a color runs out, you will be contacted to make another choice. Orders will be due by the 10th of the month and will be delivered or available for pick up the first of the next month. Example: Orders received by March 10th will be ready by the beginning of April.  

Recycled ACU Diaper Bag

If you have a loved one serving in the army and another loved one who requires a lot of 'things' here's the answer... A Diaper Bag made out of worn ACU's. I've up-cycled a jacket and pants into a durable and fashionable diaper bag. I'm now taking orders. Each bag is $78 unless you provide the ACUs in which you'll get 15% off discount! This is just such a sweet way to honor your husbands and loved ones while caring for the little ones in your family.

I used as much from the jacket and pants as I could.  The flap of the bag is the front of the jacket where you can personalize your bag with your name, rank, or something else cute that reflects your family.  One of the side pockets is from the arm pocket which is a perfect size for a baby bottle.  The other side has the back pant pocket that is perfect to keep extra pacifiers in and button close so they won't fall out. 

Of course not every bag will have the same accent fabric, so if there is a color you are interesting in having just let me know. Or  I'll just be creative and use whatever I think goes if you don't want to make that decision. :)  So here it is!!!

Pastel Animals and Such

It seems like my summer just rolled on getting busier and busier... I guess gearing up for back to school and fall.  Going full swing into September.  So here is all that you've missed. 

Urban Handmade and Indigenous are now carrying the new OLIVE Handbag Line!! Both stores have a small sampling of these bags so you can see just what a pillowcase transformed into a handbag looks like.  Also, both stored have recieved some new versions of the classic Cassandra Donovann Handbags.  These stores are ran by some amazing people so please go out and support local businesses!

Etsy has a new Cassandra Donovann Handbag series up as well to get you ready for the Fall.  I know it still seems like summer, but football, chili cook offs, sweatshirts, and fall inspired handbags are about to be seen in full force.  Take a look...
