I suppose it is time that I came clean and confessed that bags are one of my favorite things in life. I have a LOT of bags but, in my defence, let me hasten to add that I have made most of them myself. This is such a clever idea to take a very ordinary tote and, with a little work and a few additions, turn it into something that looks totally unique. I already have all sorts of ideas for this project so it is definitely going to keep me busy for a while!
