i have always wanted to do something creative, and here is my chance. My Husband and my wonderful children inspire me. I try everyday for them. this all started when my daughter needed a library bag and it has grown from there. where there is a need, fill it. so thats what i'm trying to do. my children love their bags and in the years that hey have been at school we are yet to lose one. the time, love and effort that goes into each bag is worth it. I get so much joy and calm from creating something like this. yes i said calm. i find it calming, soothing even relaxing to create. it great. i hope you like my bags just as much as i do and i hope that your children get just as much enjoyment out of them as my children get out of theirs.
