I had been asked by my friend Kelli to donate a handmade bag for her 

Art in the Bag benefit

that is held in Omaha, October 15th 2011.  A silent auction of

handcrafted bags-live music and proceeds goes to benefit Cancer Awareness.

I was honered to be asked but was a little worried as

 I am not much of a patteren follower...

so I have been looking and thinking what can

I use to make a different and fun bag???

While cleaning my craft room I had come across burlap that

 I had bought for a table decoration. 

Then thought I love my new sling bag I had bought from New York-

so I just went for it who needs a pattern anyway???? 

Ok Maybe me-but I don't have that kind of time.

So this is the cute bag I came up with today while the kiddos were napping  (I may need to change the name of my blog to "While they were Sleeping")
