More Recycling

After my last post of the re-usable bags, I was reminded of some bags a friend of mine made for me.  She is the ultimate in recycling.  One day she asked me to save my birdseed bags for a new project she was working on.  
I get my birdseed at Costco, the 40 lb. bags.  (these are the plastic burlap bags)
I sent her several bags and within a few days she gave me a tote bag.  Clever, huh???  You aint seen nothin yet!!!!

Then a friend in Missouri who raises cattle sent her some bags and wha-la, another tote bag.  This one is a little bigger.....

Then about a month later we meet up to go shopping and guess what??? More totes....  This one she said was for yarn because it is round on the bottom.... I don't know about you, but I hate fitting in circles for anything, much less a tote bag made out of plastic!!!  :-)  Soo cool!!!

There's more..........  now she is getting really clever... this is a project bag, and the clear part where the birdseed shows thru you can identify your project.   There is even a zipper that is green to match.....  :-)



OK, but this is my all time favorite one.   This is another project bag, but made out of a kitty litter bag!!!!! hee hee hee hee  She sewed a clear plastic window on the back side to be able to identify your project...also has a matching black zipper.    How cool are these????????
Kenny had to be involved!!!   :-)


























I just got more birdseed and the bag is different so new styles are on their way!!!   Thanks soo much Meredith!!!!  :-)
