Roly Poly Crafts – School Fundraiser

Roly Poly Sandwich Bags come in fun prints and are dishwasher safe and machine washable.

Roly Poly Crafts creates “Reusable Solutions for an In-disposable World” including really cool alternatives to plastic bags for taking snacks and lunches on the go. In our household, Hugh uses these everyday to take lunch to work, and I have found they are super handy for keeping toiletries and small essentials from being loose all over the bottom of your bag.

Roly Poly Crafts is the brainchild of Ruth Gavin who started making reusable diapers and diaper covers for her first son. Since then she has expanded her line to include snack bags, wraps, blankies and fun shirts (more on these in another post). Visit her website or Etsy page for more details and online ordering.

So how am I involved? I created her logo and support materials which include business cards, product hang tags and sales displays.

The most recent item I worked on for her was a school fundraiser flyer. Ruth thought that perhaps schools would like to have a fundraiser option for really useful items – items that would be economical, environmentally responsible and support a small business. So she is offering Snack Bags, Sandwich Bags and Wraps in a variety of fun fabrics where 30% of the sale is retuned to the school – cool!

West Asheville Garden Stroll Map

Thanks, Bill Rhodes, for this excellent photo of the West Asheville Garden Stroll Map brochure in use!

So often I complete a project and off it goes to the client – I never get to see the piece “in action” so to speak, so it is really great to be able to include a photo of a piece being used.

Besides, this is a darn cool photo.

So what is the West Asheville Garden Stroll? It is an annual event (2011 was the third year) where members of our community open their gardens to the public to stroll through. It is an all volunteer run event (yes, including my design work) to celebrate not only gardens, but the community connections and well-being that they promote.

This year there were 15 locations ranging from a school to business to shaded lots, tiny spaces and public parks. I didn’t make it to all of them, but fully enjoyed the ones I got to visit. For additional info, check out the West Asheville Garden Stroll’s facebook page.
