I said
OLD BAG but
I am NOT talking
about myself here
thank you very much.
When my son needed a bag
in a hurry I decided to
repurpose one I already had.
Because he DOES NOT work for
Coldwell Banker
he DID NOT want to carry a bag
like this one.
Looking for a quick fix
I cut the sleeve off an old shirt.
(no picture-bad blogger)
I cut it to size and hemmed around
the edges.
I printed the word LIFE off on a sheet of paper.
I then taped that to the window,
put the piece of hemmed cloth over it
and with a black Sharpie
filled in the letters.
Once done,
I used fabric glue to secure it
over the logo on the front.
A grab and go bag for his
LIFE materials.
Even thought it looks a bit crooked on there
it is not-that is just the best shot
I could get.
As for me-I'll be dreaming
of living LIFE here today.
Anyone care to join me?
We have been having some internet problems
the last couple of days. I can only get on
sporadically- Bear with me if I don't
get right back to you.

The bag looks great! Smart idea! That beach picture looks so very inviting!!! It must be warm there, yes, I think we all want to join you!!!
What a fabulous recycle project. You are so creative!
In my mind I've been on that beach since that darned groundhog lied, so pull me up a chaise, I'm there!
What a great idea! Very clever! I will join you on that beach any day, just don't make me wear a bikini! LOL
great job! I like the way you're thinking that beach looks amazing, hope the computer fixes itself
You're the kind of gal who can juggle a raw egg, a watermelon, and a running chain saw! Great impromptu solution for extending the "life" of that bag. -- Jan
Nice quick fix Diana. Oh yes, I'd like a nice beach relax-a-cation. I have to say once again the sun is shining here..you know that makes me happy. Hope you are at least having sunshine. xoxo,Susie
Very Nice! I've often wanted to repurpose bags like that, but hadn't come with anything that looks so nice. And yes, I'd love join you at the beach ... ahhhhh.
Blessings!

Good Morning Diana, Good thinking and a great fix. I was so mad yesterday. I had my resume just about done when the lights blinked and I lost it all. That happened twice and yes I paid my light bill.
Don't know what happen, so I will work on that today. I need to get my package ready to go to Sarasota,Florida. I join you on the beach those chairs look so inviting. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs and Prayers from your Missouri Friend.
Good-looking bag! Do you still have snow on the ground, Diana?

Cute bag idea. I'm in a crafty mood because I'm getting favors, etc for the bar mitzvah cruise.
Come visit SoFla!
Great idea!!
My nerves are a bit frazzled and I would love a day on the beach. :-)
What a great idea to make the bag even better! We just got back from the beach but I'm ready to go back! Come on down....bring your sunglasses and sunscreen! We'll go together!
I like ! Have a wonderful Friday !
Clever, clever.... what a great way of repurposing ~ I would also love to be on that beach right now, nothing better than the ocean!
Have a great weekend,
Cheryl
Creativeness takes over and repurposes a bag. DId he like it then?
One creative woman...love it. And yes a sandy beach with some shade...sigh.
Oh, Phil..the pheasant was screeching outside my window just now...
Jen
You are SUCH a clever, clever girl!!
Nice job, Diana! Yes, although not a beach person, this is a great looking scene and yes, I will join you. We can walk on the beach and bask in the sun after putting on sun screen! Bring all your grandchildren. It would be no fun without them. I remember how much fun I had with my three grandchildren when they were young.
I hope your technical problems get worked out quickly. Meanwhile you remind me to look around and see what can be repurposed!
Oh, your first comment is so funny about 'old bags' as I have just left a comment over at Mary's 'Backside of the Moon' about her lovely bags she created for a church event. Please go read the comment I left her, and you will see what I mean!
Take care! and have a very lovely, and blessed weekend!

Great idea on the bag. You are such a talented lady...:)

save that 2nd chair for me, please
What a great idea, Diana!
What a great fix- at no cost, how awesome - repurposing an old bag (not you) and an old shirt - awesome idea!
And YES by all means, I am in that chair right next to you, and we're both holding girlie pink fruity drinks with paper unbrellas on them.
Yes, I think I could be there right now - what a wonderful thought.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs.
Everytime you show a project I wonder why I didn't think of that!
Great repurposing.
That turned out cute--what a great idea for all of those promo items hanging around. Thank you so much for stopping by, you are one of the sweetest (and most engaging) bloggers around. Blessings to you and your family, today! Hugs, Kim
Your son is lucky to have such a handy, quick thinking Mom..
What a clever girl you are Dianna! Very classy looking, too! I'm getting my sandals out.....

Great idea and I love that you used the window for the back light.
Sweet idea, Diana! You're such a stinkin' crafy lady! Not a bag for sure! lol! Oh, and Suzan and I will both meet you on that beach. The three of us will get silly on a glass of FatCat*HappyDog wine. lol!

That was so nice you fixed up that bag for your son. Now he has a LIFE . . . bag.
Blessings, Lisa
How clever, Diana. You thought of that one so quickly. And what better word to put on a traveling bag.....LIFE. I love it. Oh, that water and sand sounds divine to me right now.
