I would use a couple to decorate and pass out with goodies in them.Then give my three daughters each one to decorate. I think they would have a blast having their own bag to decorate and then play with. Thanks so much!!

These bags are awesome! I would love to decorate a couple for drawing door prize names out of, at our annual Christmas party at work.
ReplyDeleteNice bags. I've just ordered "Artiste" from Melanie and can't wait to get it! Plan to get inspiration from the cartridge to use with the bags.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on these super cute bags, Mary! My next door neighbor's grand daughter is turning 7 in November and is inviting 4 friends for a little birthday party and I have been invited! I would love to use these bags and put flavored lip gloss, combs, hairbows and have the trimmings for them to decorate their own little bags!
ReplyDeleteI think I might make some crafting goody bags for my friends for Christmas! I would decorate them with Christmas items and then fill them with glitter glues, ink pads, small stamps, pens, ribbon, the list goes on! Thanks for sharing and getting my crafting mojo going again!

ReplyDeleteOh what a very nice give away. I like to get in to pin, card and ticket swaps. These adorable little bags would be perfect to decorate and send swaps in. I hope I am one of the lucky winners. I think I better go check them out.
ReplyDeleteThank Mary for the chance to win.

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.
ReplyDeleteThese 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...
ReplyDeleteI would like to make some surprise goodie bags for gifts to my grandaughters.
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
ReplyDeletePeace, Love, & Cricut Hugs!

Mary your bag is adorable! I can not imagine any one not loving to get one of these full of candy or what not. I would use mine to make bags for some of the holidays fill them with goodies and send thento her at college. She just loves to receive mail of any kind.
ReplyDeleteLOVE 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!

What an adorable idea! My 2 boys (ages 6 and 5) love their Imaginex superheros which are about 3 inches tall. I would decorate a bag for each of them to keep their favorite action figures in.
