The MR2W Crew rocked a beautiful sunny day at the SOWEBO Arts Festival last weekend! Our “Science Project” display board was a hit and gave attendees all the scoop about us. A big thanks to Molly Bess for inspiring our design with her own Science Expo board this year.

Kids stopped by to draw in our journal and we debuted our first pair of hand-printed OOAK Pajama’s.

On one or two (or three) occasions, we were grateful for the presence of our bodyguard, Micah, shown here with his massive and impressive “air pillow” musculature.

The tee shirt and journal combo packs made for a colorful backdrop, gently blowing in the warm breezes.

Our own Jess, workin’ the booth! And… one of the colorful characters that paraded down the streets of B’more.

Finally, what’s a trip to Baltimore without an art car on the premises? The one pictured above really defines the genre… a big old machine covered in blackboard paint, with plenty of colored chalk for everyone to express themselves.

THANKS BALTIMORE… WE HAD A BLAST and we appreciate your support!

PS: Did you miss catching us at SOWEBO? Not to worry! Come out and see us at Washington City Paper’s CRAFTY BASTARDS on Saturday, June 28 at Pyramid Atlantic, Silver Spring. More info to come about that soon…

Having designated Piney Branch Elementary School here in Takoma Park, MD as the first MyRight2Write.com recipient of donated composition books (Fall 08), PTA president and journalist (not to mention Piney Branch mom, herself) Sue Katz Miller penned a lovely article in the May edition of The Voice.

My favorite quote is the opening of Sue’s article: “Speaking of art, Takoma Park resident Jodi Bloom has created a funky mashup of her passions: crafts, writing, recycling and helping kids.” Indeed!

So, whether you live in Takoma Park, or elsewhere in the world, help us supply this fantastic and diverse elementary school with our 300 composition books (or more!) when school opens in late August. Remember, for EVERY journal sold on MyRight2Write.com from now until end of August, whether you are a Piney Branch parent or not… we donate a plain black and white marbled composition book to the school.

And, if you DO live here in the People’s Republic of TP, we will gladly refund your shipping should you wish to pick up your journals at designfarm’s office in the Takoma Business Center. We’ll email when we get your order.
