The greenest of the green

This is Maryann here, sometimes blogger, all-time community coordinator and, for today, impartial judge for Meredith's best re-use contest.

There were some interesting suggestions offered, and even a little bit of debate, but one clear winner stood out. It seemed to be an overwhelming favorite, both among readers and us newspaper types.

So who was it? Are you dying to know?

It's Jessica, with her clutch made out of plastic bags!

She wins a shiny, reusable baltimoresun.com mug for her crafty use of all the leftover plastic bags in her home: According to Jessica, she places each bag between two sheets of wax paper, irons them flat, and then uses them as cloth, such as in the brilliant Target-themed bag above.
 
Thank you to everyone who participated. We'll have more contests in the future and will eagerly gobble up your entries.
