Retreat time!

The goodie bags are filled....

With sweet little somethings.

The book bag is made...

Ready to hall junk to and from meetings.

Now HOW to get all my stuff in and

the lid SHUT??!!!!

retreat!

I'm on a retreat committee.

We plan a spiritual retreat every year for about 80-100 ladies

and it's happening THIS weekend!

This is NOT a money making venture...

but we want it to be nice!

What do you put in the little goodie bags that:

Doesn't cost much of anything?

That says WELCOME?

That says We're glad you came??

Oh.....and that isn't for a QUILTER.

THAT bag would be EASY!! huh?

You don't put much in.

Today I had an idea!!!

*I cut printer paper into 2 1/2"x4" pieces

*stacked 10 of them together.

*Found some fabric scraps and used my pinking shears

*added a tiny bit of ribbon for a little hook

*Made a seam right across the top!

VIOLA!

A cute little pad of paper.

So fun!

I'm kind of in a hurry...

so they're not perfect.

Plus----I have to make more than 80!

But....I'm so happy!!!

So happy to be able to give everyone

a "little something!"

And....

something that uses a little FABRIC!!!

My very favorite thing!!!!

Maybe I'll add some other "little somethings".

And...

I'll put it in a cute little bag!

A plain white bag simply decorated

with rubber stamp and some yarn I happen to have!

Want to come over and help???
