I hope everyone had a lovely weekend and Mother's Day! I think we should honor n' celebrate everyone who performs motherly acts. I know a few women without children that should be honored on that day. I think of Mother Teresa and all she did.
Today is my birthday; I feel honored to share it with Bono and Fred Astaire. My kids are off picking strawberries. I am dreaming of strawberry lemonade, strawberry shortcake and strawberry jam. Maybe a tall not short cake for my birthday?!
I'm scattered; I'm still sick. I am losing my voice, my lips are chapped and I cough all night long. What is up with that? lol I received one of these clever devices for my birthday; It is wonderful. I didn't think I would be sooo thrilled with it, but I am. I still love the smell of old books and going to the library. Where is the e-book library?!
Oh, yeah back to the subject; Somerset Life had this challenge and I thought I would share my creations. I goofed and read the challenge wrong; I created a couple items, before discovering and then scrambled to get them done.
These are brown paper lunch bags; I can't wait to see what gets published. I am sure there will be so many wonderful creations. I had fun doing the challenge; I would use these to tuck in a gift. An
inexpensive way to wrap and present a gift or a little unexpected treat.

This was my goof; I recommend if you run out of wrapping paper use paper bags. Try and see what you can come up with. A few rubber stamps, dabs of glue, cut outs, lace, and charms can elevate the ordinary.

Try drinking more for those lips. Sounds like you could be dehydrated from whatever crud you have.
Love those bag creations! But where do you get paper bags these days? ;)
Jules @ Trying To Get Over The Rainbow
I've used brown paper bags before as gift bags but mine never turn out as good as the pictures of some I've seen. Sigh.
Now get well :)
Ellie Garratt

I'd bake you a strawberry cake if I was any close :)
Drink lots of that lemonade to heal quicker from that illness you have.

Mary-Thank you for your prediction; I hope so...I have had a few rough ones.

Scarlett-I hope your Hubby is better! I'm slowly recovering; my Hubby has it now. I don't think they will, but thanks. I didn't paint only the front black. I thought it would leak through and not look so great. I should have painted the whole thing. Oh, well...I think you have a better chance!

Adore your paper bags.
