A Green Giveaway

It must be giveaway week around here! Marianne, author of the excellent blog – A Life More Interesting, is giving a away 3 recycled soda can necklaces.

I am all for helping the environment and this is a very creative way to perform the second “r” – reuse. The necklaces come in three flavors – Coke, Diet Coke, and Dr. Pepper. Curious? Click over to Marianne’s site – she has a picture up. And to enter, shoot her an email telling her which neckace you prefer.
