Thanks to our friends over at TwoShirts.org, who gave Make Something Day a mention the other day. TwoShirts is a great online community, helping turn the tide of consumerism. Check them out! The hype for MSD is growing. Are you making plans for Make Something Day? Let us know.

It’s that time of year again! Make Something Day will soon be upon us. TheOOZE.com just featured an article by Jason Evans on the subject, “Beat Your Apples Into… Applesauce.” Help us spread the word by adding one of the MSD buttons to your site. And send in your ideas for the MSD blog too.

Sojourner’s continues to promote Make Something Day. They have put up a short video and PDF template showing you how to cut up your credit card and make it into a tasteful Christmas ornament: http://www.sojo.net/blog/godspolitics/?p=4047.

They have several other pieces of Make Something Day/Buy Nothing Day coverage on our God’s Politics blog, including Make Something Money Can’t Buy (Glue Gun Optional) by Julie Polter.

There’s also a spiritual commentary about Buy Nothing Day, Advent, and the financial crisis in the December issue of Sojourners magazine: Re-Rooting Ourselves in God.
