Good intentions

So, another birthday! This little bag has the gift inside-perfume. I thought why use a store bought, paper bag or wrapping when I can make a cute little birthday bag that can be reused?! A gift that keeps on giving, no?? I thought it was so cute and if I can say so myself, this was crafted to perfection, and I'm really not just saying that. I measured, pressed, changed thread colors, the whole 9. Well, at least she liked the perfume (and I'll leave it at that. And, I'm reminded not everyone is really that into handmade things, nor do they appreciate them, so I gotta get over it.....).

Bag #2 of the day. (Bag #3 is actually in the works, but I was delayed for the dinner party at which bag#1 was not appreciated, but I'm not bitter or anything.) I really love this one! It has a velcro closure, but best of all, it has rick rack! I'm a sucker for rick rack and since I don't know that I can get away with it on my clothes at my age, I'm loving it on this bag!
****This just in........

Bag #3! Click it to see the special embellishments. I was having trouble getting a decent photo of them, I may need to invest in a new camera. This bag closes with velcro. I have a new closure to experiment with tomorrow and am hoping for another productive day despite the one hour time loss:(
