Bags for gifts

I ran on to the picture I took of this cute bag I made in December. We drew names at work for a little secret santa present and I got Julie, our great Manager! Of course, first time to do this.....and of course pressure is on since I"m totally surrounded by these wonderfully creative people that are amazing! The glitch is that we can only spend $20. I was told she loves pedicures and as a young mom deserves the hour away relaxing. So I opted for the Gift card for the pedicure. But.....then everyone told me "they cheat"! OK, so the wrapping doesn't count......so I made Julie this bag ( she had fallen in love with this bag we had taught at our sew and go but didn't get to come) so I made her a big size one for hauling around "mom things", and...I made her sweet baby girl daughter Brooklyn a mini to match. I put a book in Brooklyn's since I figured that didn't count since it wasn't for Julie! So all in all she enjoyed her gift, told me she'd gotten the pedicure and loved the relaxing hour and I"ve seen her hauling the bag so whew, made it thru my first party at SE! The party was so nice, we had wonderful home made food made by Marti the owner, they did a raffle for us, which was so fun, they handed us all a ticket....we are the ones always handing out raffle tickets in class but never to get be on the "good" end! How fun was that, I got a cricut cartridge! Then we had our secret santa gifts and all had a great time! What a great group of people to be surrounded by!
