Greetings to everyone!  We have decided to have a contest.  Not just some boring ol’ contest, but a scavenger hunt. What do you win?  Well, the first person to complete the tasks will receive $100 gift certificate for skinnyskinny’s great organic and ecofriendly products.  2nd place will win a $75 gift certificate and 3rd place will win a $50 gift certificate.  Not bad, huh?

So, what are the rules? You must document (with a photo) the completion of each task and post the images onto our Facebook fan photo album or email them to us and we’ll post them for you.  Our facebook page is here: www.facebook.com/skinnyskinny .  You cannot be an employee of skinnyskinny.  Once you have completed the tasks, just post a comment on the Facebook page.  We’ll verify and voila!  We’ll have the winners.

Tasks:

1. Take a picture of the oddest/funniest use of recycled/reclaimed/repurposed materials. You know, something where they meant well, but something just went a little wrong.

2. Take a picture of your favorite object (not a person) and attach a short tag to the photo to explain the importance.

3. Make something better (and take a picture). This can be about design, or improving on a recipe or even making someone feel better.

4. Do something on your procrastination list and check it off (and send a picture). This would be something that you’ve been meaning to do for a long time, like send a thank you note or call a friend or donate to a charity or weed the garden.

And that’s it.  These don’t need to be done in any specific order.  If anyone would like more information or has any trouble posting images, then simply email us at info@skinnyskinny.com .

This is a great time to enter because we are just about to launch our amazing new organic body scrubs as well as some beautiful (in more ways than one) organic potpourris.

So, get to work.   And good luck

UPDATE: We have a 1st and 2nd place winner, but we are still looking for our 3rd place winner. Consider yourself challenged.  Here is a picture sent in by one of the winners, Sandi Sandman, along with her really touching explanation: This is Junebug.
She was dumped at a high kill shelter and left for dead.
I consider her,like ALL of my animals, menagerie or farm RECYCLED.
In this day and age,any animal that is born in to this world is because a selfish and uneducated human who allowed their “pet” to breed.
Over 50% of these creatures are thrown away or dumped at shelters.
On average ,it costs 100 dollars a day to house these animals. Half of them are euthanized.

Junebug was dumped after having a litter for kittens.
I met her last June ( 2008 ) and we have been in love ever since.
She is my recycled or found and reusable object.
She makes a great comforter and doubles as a replacement companion when my husband goes on tour.
She gives me hours and hours of stress relief.
