G;ammed up bluejeans bags!












Upcycled bluejeans bags that I have '"glammed up" with ribbons,studs and flowers.
Not your ordinary bluejeans and not your ordinary bluejeans bags!

I don't scrapbook,but I LOVE this piece by PunkyJane on Etsy.

Right now she is having a sale on this item,so I don't expect it to last long!Especially because she is offering a percentage of the proceeds from her shop to help BeadsofGlass who has cancer;which has spread to her brain.

Please be sure to visit her shop and help BeadsofGlass in this difficult time.

We need to find a cure for cancer!

This bag is on its way to Louisiana for a charity auction to benefit the Cat Haven.
After Katrina so many pets were left behind;never to see their homes and people again it breaks my heart.
Hopefully it breaks yours,too.
I can't go back to my home state right now,but I can still do my part.If you are in the area,please check into this.
Animals need our help all over the country-much less the world.Please see what you can do to help out a shelter(preferably a no-kill one) in your area.

You could win this bag in IndiePublic's raffle!

This raffle is going on all month(August) long!
