DIY Club Inc. is a fun new website where you can show off your DIY crafting skills! Hosted by six wonderfully talented bloggers and some pretty great sponsors (if we do say so ourselves!), the DIY Club hosts a monthly "linky" party where you can link up to your own blog post showing off a project you have done. The project can be pretty much anything, but must use products from at least one of the DIY Club's sponsors.

Although it's only been around since May, the website itself has just gone through a major re-vamp, and the grand unveiling was this week. It's looking better than ever! It even includes a page where you can see all the projects done with Rockler products - how cool is that?!

Last week in Minneapolis two esteemed names in the Junking world got together and held "an event beyond compare," and Rockler was thrilled to be involved as a sponsor. Art + Architecture, JUNKMARKET Style was put on by Jim Schmitt (of the former) and Sue Whitney (of the latter) and a slew of fabulous vendors of antiques, repurposed objects, handmade jewelry, assemblage art and plain old good junk!

Last weekend the Rockler Blog Team (actually my ten-year-old-sidekick/daughter and I) attended a blogger party of a most unusual sort - it was a potluck, for junking bloggers, held in the middle of a flea market, with the food served on... junk! And it was a blast!

The party was hosted by Amy Versnik Nowak of Junkologie in her booth at the annual Oronoco Gold Rush Days flea market (in southern Minnesota). Oronoco is no ordinary flea market. People literally come from all over the country to go to this thing, and if you are a junker, Oronoco is the place to be.
