PTI Blog Hop

August 25, 2010 Blog Hop, Uncategorized

Morning everybody,

This is a schedule post as I will be still sleeping or just about getting out of bed at this time. Yesterday was one exhausting day after my daughter had a surgery. Nothing major. Still its was a nervous time in there.She had  mucoseles removed from her mouth. But all is well! Aditi is at home, talking and eating but tired and exhausted! Anyway, why I said all this is because, I did not have time to think about today’s blog hop project. So my project this month is simple.

This month’s blog hop is: 
In honor of school going back into session everywhere, we thought it would be fun to issue a Brown Bag
Challenge.  We want to see what you can do to dress up, alter, change an ordinary brown lunch bag into
a paper crafting work of art.  You could modify it to become a gift bag with handles, create a card base
by folding it in half (complete with a slide out tag), add a window to it or whatever else you can dream up.
 After the hop is though, we should all have plenty of inspiration to help us create amazing projects with
inexpensive brown bags!  We look forward to seeing your creations!
Here are my projects:

“Brown paper packages tied up with strings……These are a few of my favourite things…” lol!
These are  typically my children’s lunch bags which I have modified as gift bags for cupcakes and  craft supplies. I love brown paper bags. They are kind of cute when dressed up. Not hip but just right!
Sorry about the photos, I made them last night at 10.00PM and lighting is not very good. If sun is out tomorrow, I will try and take photos under sunlight and replace these.
Edited: I have since replaced the photos with ones taken under sunlight.
Now off  to hop and see what eveybody has done with brown bags.
Have a great day and happy hopping!
Cheers!

    Sometimes simple is sweet and you have added just the right touches to these bags! I especially like the second one because, yes, dessert should be eaten first!

    I love your bags, the bags themselves! They have a certain shine to them that make them even more appealing than the dull brown one we have. Your decorations are great! I love the first for a crafty friend. And what child (of any age) wouldn't love the second? Great job! And glad everything went well with your daughter.
