The Girls Bags

Remember these bags I made for Kasi and Brandi to trick or treat with?

Well, the girls loved them, and they worked so well! They held a whole lot of candy.

The best part for me was all the compliments the girls got on them. I mean, who doesn't love hearing that something they made is beautiful.

I think next year I have to come up with a manly version for Ryan...that's if he even wants to go with us. I mean, he will be almost 15 by then...

Kasi's Trick Or Treat Bag

I finally finished Kasi's bag for Halloween.

I LOVE that I decided to put the almost furry ring around the top.

I think it looks awesome!

She wanted her name on it, like Boo's, but I just couldn't do it. Brandi's nickname fit with Halloween, Kasi's doesn't.

She saw it this morning and said she loves it.

That's what it's all about, folks. Making the kids happy.

Brandi's Bag

Here's a look at the finished product. Considering I made it up as i went along, I think it came out pretty good. If I had it to do over, I would put the "BOO" a little higher up from the black bottom, but otherwise, I think it came out great.

The handles are still pinned...I need to finish sewing them.

Kasi is already asking what hers will look like, and I still need to finish a blanket for my sister before Sunday, so I need to get crocheting!

Laptop Bags

I finally have hubby talked into buying me a new computer when we get our tax refund in February. The big decision now is whether to buy a desktop or a laptop. My sister has a laptop, and she loves it. Mine would no doubt be abused, what with all the kids using it. I would also have to take it with me everywhere so I could blog on the go. It's a good thing they make laptop bags that are durable and fashionable. Spire USA makes bags that last a lifetime. Each bag comes with a lifetime guarantee, so don't worry about the abuse you dish out to it everyday. It can take it.
