I will try to post pics of everyone else in their costumes...I ended up making or gathering parts for costumes for about 20 kids. The kids I do not have pics of I will have to take pics of the costumes as they are returned over the next few days!

Boy, trick or treating has been so hit or miss anymore. Last year was fairly busy
but this year only 1 group of 6 middle schoolers. 1 group!!!
Hubby says I need to make an apron from the Pin-Up Witches fabric. In fact he insisted! LOL where's Georgann when you need her advice??!! :(

These gals were on the local morning news program
showing their recycled shopping bags from men's shirts:

you can get a good idea of how they make them from
just browsing their products.

I can't believe the price! We could all start making our own recycled shopping bags and help the planet at the same time...but why make them rich at the same time?? wow

I agree with you on that one. I have made my own bags before. I bought these stretchable bags from ecobags.com, and they are really great, so I use these instead.

Exactly, like I say, you can get an idea of how to make your own
looking at theirs.

I went to the ecobags.com site.... thanks for the info! since I crochet I see that it could easily be made with cotton yarn. Perhaps we could start a new thread about how to make bags .... for shopping, recycling.. etc. I have seen a free pattern from the cotton yarn also.
What do you think Sharon? A topic of this?
I also have seen a site on how to crochet the plastic shopping bags into things...

Linda, I think that it is a good idea. Many of the supermarkets are not using plastic bags anymore. I go to a store, and they give incentives for individuals who bring in their own bags. They have a weekly drawing for $25.00 free groceries. I haven't won yet, but hope to.
