Beautifying Gift Bags
My parents were here this week and my mom and I spent some time crafting. We went to Michael’s for inspiration and found gorgeous floral paper in a fun, modern color scheme. We also picked up clear plastic gift bags, red fabric flowers, and Hershey’s bars for the gifts.
Mrs. Petrie's mom putting decorative paper on a chocolate bar.
Chocolate bars covered with striped decorative paper.
Finished chocolate bars- the tag says, "You're sweet".
Fabric flowers we made into pins.
The bookmark has a quotation by Dr. Dale Turner which reads, "Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born."
A fun and delicious party favor.
We shredded green paper for the bottom of the bags. Each bag is tied with white curling ribbon. We attached a tag that says “for you” and the fabric flower pin to the ribbon. I think any party guest would be delighted to receive this bag. What have your favorite party favors been?
You are so creative. I miss you so much. Wanna hang out and get crafty with you and Miss Petrie!
What have you been up to Ms. Rolfe? I miss you, too! My mom and I had a great time making those gift bags and although it did take hours at least we weren’t at the mall! Hugs!!
Hi Mrs. Petrie,
Mil gracias for contributing your know-how, resources and creativity for Big D’s appartment warming. I know that everyone there will appreciate your thoughtfulness from afar. You’ll be missed, my precious daughter, but your loving, generous presence will be felt.
Love,
Mom
Oops! Drop an extra p in apartment.

Yummmm. Chocolate. It’s what makes the world go round. Well, beer too.
I agree! How’s your brew? What kind did you make?
