Easy Gift

I think this is a cute idea that you can give as a birthday present to someone in the ward or a vt gift. You take a cute notebook that you can find at walmart or target. Then you use your left over ribbon and tie it on the spiral part of the notebook. It turns out really cute and can be given with a cute pen or alone.

Cheap Cute Bags!

So I found these cute bags at Albertsons for $6.99. I have used them in the past for diaper bags. It's great because they are cheap and diaper bags get gross really fast. This year I bought one for me and one for Kayla. She uses hers as a piano bag. I added a flower to hers and I am in the process of putting her initials on it. So far I have got the M on there. Anyway I think it's a great deal and they are cute and can be used for lots of different things like dance, piano, scriptures, church, or diaper bag.
