bags of the week

Here are the Better Life Bags I worked on last week.  They shipped yesterday - so be on the lookout!

This lovely Maggie and Frietas Gift Set .  Love the color combo on this one.  And don't those new labels look so professional?!

Another Maggie bag.

And finally the super-sized Carla.  Most bags can be enlarged to custom measurements with an enlargement fee.  This one turned out so cute that I had a hard time packaging it up!  She designed some matching snack bags with a few add-on features to make them extra cute, too.

And just so you can see the enlargement accurately, here is the regular Carla set up against the super sized version!

Remember... December 5th is the last possible day to order to be guaranteed Christmas delivery!

I'm so thankful God took care of that little abandoned house next door.  I have great plans to turn the abandoned lot into a small park for the neighborhood kids.  Now maybe they can stop playing on the street.

24 books

The winners of the "gift-away" are The Holdaway's and Marcia!  Neither one of you cared which gender set you got (one because you won't find out until Spring and the other because you plan on using them to gift to new mothers in your church).  SO, whoever emails me first will get their pick!  {betterlifebags@gmail.com}

Thanks for entering!  I plan on gifting things away a lot more - that was fun!

Don't forget to enter Amber's giveaway over at Click. Pray. Love.  You could win one of FIVE Pregnancy Prayer Card Packs!

I know today is already December 1st. And Advent technically started on Sunday, but I wanted to share a fun "Countdown to Christmas" idea I discovered last year.

We have 24 books all wrapped up and ready to be opened - one a day until Christmas Eve.  I got most of the books last year at after Christmas sales.  And found the wrapping paper in the dollar section at Target.  40 square feet of it for $1!  Most of the books talk about the meaning of Christmas - the REAL meaning - but being able to open one gift a day is so fun!

How are you counting down the days?
