  73. If I won those cute bags, I would make decorated Birthday ones. They are the perfect size for jewelry, those paper bags are sometimes too big, so this would work great for bracelets and earrings. I would also bling them up as I am crazy about bling at my old age of 65.

    ReplyDelete
  74. These look like some awesome bags. I would definitely make some cute slumber party bags for my nieces slumber party. We could fill them with "pamper me" goodies and decorate & personalize them. So cute. Smooches...

  75. I would like to make some surprise goodie bags for gifts to my grandaughters.

  76. Love what you did with the bag. Depending on the size, I would make/decorate the bags to help me stay organize when I travel. For example, I like to put my nylons/hose in a little bag to protect them from snags. I could make a stencil and label the bag. I would also make gift bags out of them. Of course, all depends on the size. But that is the beauty of these bags - lots of options.

  77. What a cute idea:) If I would win these bags, I would girly them up, make them extra cute and vintage looking and have them at hand to give a cute gift in:)Thanks Mary!

  87. LOVE that trick or treat bag, Mary! Such a creative idea (as always)! These bags are like a blank slate...SO many possibilites on what you could do with them! I'm going to have to check out that site. With these bags, I think you could never stop coming up with ideas. Few examples: treat bags for Halloween (as mentioned!); wrapping for Christmas presents, especially ones that could be a challenge to wrap; backpacks for kids that they could help decorate to make them unique; holder for kids' Valentine's Day cards at school; a little bag "accidentally" left behind by a leprachaun at St Patrick's Day filled with fun items; OK I could keep going forever, but you get the idea! Thanks so much for bringing these bags to our attention, Mary!
