Happy Thursday, everyone! What a day!!! Woke up this morning with a left eye that was swollen shut and the right one not far behind it! I had planned on driving to AC Moore's big sale, but since it's an hour away, driving today was definite NOT an option! What a disappointment.....oh, well! I guess I managed to save some money today. By noon the swelling was down in the left one and the right one really didn't get much worse. Still don't know what caused it. They are a bit red this evening, but the vision is back. I managed to get some cleaning done this morning and then off to the craft room I went. I love my Circut Expressions and wanted to cut something today. Now, for you gals who are in my classes, you will recognize this as a project we did last year right after I bought the Ex. I needed a gift for a special sister and this bag seemed to fit the bill. She is a TOTAL chocoholic....guess what will be going in this bag??!!

I started with a 12 x 24 sheet of colored artist paper from the local craft store. The pattern was "cut to fit". The flowers in the center and the candy pieces were cut on the Sizzix. The large tag was cut on the Ex. I love this stamp from Stampendous! It just says it all....I used Pretty Pink and CLose to cocoa SU ink to stamp the sentiment. The dotted ribbon is by American Crafts. I used the flourish from SU "Doodle This" stamp set and it's stamped in Whisper White ink. I just think this bag is SO darn cute!! Oh, and the pink flower was embossed with the CB embossing folder "Divine Swirls".

It's still fairly early in the evening, so I am off to list a few items on ebay! Need more cash for SU stamp buying, since Sale A Bration starts tomorrow!! WOO HOO!!! Can ya tell I am excited?? Have a great evening and I will be back tomorrow with something new.
