Green Bag Lady Bags

In August I received 2 Green Bag Lady bags.  I use the green one to carry my projects to my quilting groups on Saturdays because it can hold a lot of things.  The red one is used to carry vegetables/fruit.  I just remembered that I had not taken a photo of the bags to share with everyone.  They are such simple bags, but are so very useful.  I am a subscriber to the Green Lady blog.  Please check her blog out if you are not aware of her and her cause.

Recyclying in a great way

I came across this tutorial and thought this was very interesting. By recycling a t-shirt this way you accomplish quite a few things, such as:

1. Help the environment by recycling a product that might end up in a land fill (sometimes even if you donate to a charitable organization).
2. You teach your children that everything has multiple purposes.
3. The item is washable and much cleaner that your regular bags (that or not washable).
4. You can coordinate the bags by color, design, etc. to go with your groceries to make unpacking them much easier.
5. When you are out shopping, you just look fabulous with a bag that no one else has.
6. Oh did I mention that you are helping out the environment.

By the way gardener friends, this is a great way to transport your new plants that you just got.

So take a minute to read the tutorial to find out how you can create your one of a kind grocery bag.
