Save the environment.Save the plastic.Save something!The Everything Bag I don't know about all this saving the environment by not using those flimsy
plastic things that you pray over as you transfer the groceries from the buggy to your car,hoping that you won't be chasing
your groceries all over the parking lot while looking through a gaping hole,or not.(whew!)But what I do know is that
it doesn't have to be ugly!I noticed a lot of plastic bags are being replaced with reusable ones.Which is good.(Less trash,the
fewer times I have to ask my son to take it out:)But can't we keep our style while doing it? justnkace you think
so,read on.I give you................ The Everything
Bag!
 Inside there is vinyl for easy cleaning.At the top, the sides zip up in-case you are carrying
more or taller items.Or unzip the sides to have more of the beautiful fabric visible.On the outside,in the front there is
a zippered pocket that can be used to hold cash or credit cards etc.A key loop inside,keeps your keys handy.(without this
feature,my keys usually hide in the bottom,under everything,at the most inconvenient times:)
 Though pictured carrying groceries, it would be good as an any day purse/lunch
tote/all-day outing and just about Everything Bag.This bag is hand designed, not from a mass produced pattern so... justnkace
you need something special,please remember our site.Thank you for your support.

Puppy Themed Baby Shower (inexpensive:) Ideas Some friends and I put on baby shower for a friend of ours.She wanted it
to have a puppy theme.So we made bite size puppy face cakes with the dog's little tongue hanging out.And a diaper cake
with wooden dog and dog house cut-outs.Bone shaped finger jell - o and a bone shaped picture frame completed the puppy theme.We
also had the standard chips and punch to go along with everything else. 
To make the punch just make some cool - aid.(half as much water than usual)Then
right before the party starts,add the refrigerated ginger ale.(you will need less ice this way as well.)
For the
cake bites,mix up one cake mix as directed then bake in a large rectangle pan. When it is completely cooled,cut
into one to two inch square pieces.Dip into melted white candy chocolate.Melt some reg. candy chocolate in a sandwich
baggie.(put choc. in baggie,seal.Set baggie in a bowl of hot water until melted.)Do not put it in the microwave.It will
melt the bag.
Cut one bottom corner of the baggie and draw on the ears,nose and eyes.Then I purchase a red icing
writter from the local cake supply store,for the tongue.
For the bone shaped finger jell - o, you just mix
jell - o with half the normal amount of water and 2 pkgs. of gelatin,let it set in the refrigerator.Then cut
with a bone shaped cookie-cutter.
The diaper cake was made on the fly.I have never made one before.But there is
info on the net.Then just decorated with coordinating ribbon and wooden cut-outs.
I found the bone shaped
picture frame at the dollar store.We copied one of the mother's latest sonograms and placed it in the frame.
Buy a piece of matching fabric and drape it over the gift table.
Then of course,don't forget
the gift you need from www.justnkace.com
Add a few friends and anything else you'd like and there you
go.
