    I love to re-purpose things. I try to remember to put that in my answers. I catch myself saving the craziest things, thinking, "I can do something with that."

    You needed to put the inside pockets in before you sewed up the sides.... from what I can see of yours, to bad you don't live close by would be glad to help you with it ....
    HAHA, well that is one problem solved then. Thanks. And yes, I wish you were nearby too. ;)

    Very nice packages; some hints too!

    i would love getting things like that, new ideas for storage, and different uses...just put a note what you use each thing for, so we all have a clue where to start!!!

    I was planning to get my package today out after work, unfortunately, I had to work late and didn't get to the P.O. like I planned. If everything goes smoothly tomorrow, I will hit the P.O. and get my package out.

    My partner lives in the central U.S. More clues to come....

    I thought that I would share this with everyone. Free tea samples while they last. I did it and figured since I don't drink tea that I could send it to an SP.
