Library

I really enjoy reading a good book
and have alot of books on my
"to read" list.

But rarely did I go to the
library because it was
just too much stress with
little kids pulling books off the
shelf faster than I could
think.  Instead I found lots of
books at garage sales and
Ollie's and thrift stores.

Well somewhere along the
way my kids grew up
and were needing to go to the
library for a report.
A M A Z I N G !!
They loved it!
I loved it!
And I am hooked.
I am now a regular
at the local library.

So of course I was
thinking how I can make sure
we don't lose any of the books
and so I thought a library
bag would be perfect.

So with a budget of $0
I searched the house and
found an old canvas bag
that need a face lift.

I guess at one time
stenciled apples were
nice but they are so last
decade when it
comes to my taste now
thus the "re-do".
After cutting letters out
of freezer paper
I ironed the freezer paper onto
the bag, and then my
daughter painted the letters.
After the paint was dry
I just peeled off the
freezer paper.

And then.....

I    S E W E D!
(For those who don't know me,
my mom is an amazing
seamstress but I don't
sew, until now.)

After sewing the ruffle of scrap
fabric on to the bag,
I did resort back to
my hot glue gun for the ribbon
and flowers.

Total cost ~ $0

Go curl up with a good book,

its that kind of day!
