Winter's coming
We are in winter preparation mode around here. Step one: Get these very green Roma tomatoes picked before they freeze on the vine; wrap them in newspaper, as shown here, so they'll ripen up.
Step two: Start pulling out tired gift bags emblazoned with random store logos and see if you can spruce them up with scrapbook supplies languishing under the bed because you last worked on your scrapbook in 2002.
Or two.
At which point you realize you have perhaps gone a little too far in winter preparation mode while completely neglecting to make any actual food for dinner.
Green tomatoes, anyone?

Step three: Get so inspired by your own creativity that you start splattering paint on brown paper lunch bags.
Or two.

I love the stream of consciousness of this post. I am currently trying to ward off winter. But it is so not working.
Hey, good ideas! I have a few random bags floating around that could use a face lift and a re-purpose!
I love recycling bags - cute ideas! I'm not ready for winter, let alone Christmas! Thanks for sharing!
Hugs,
Barb
great idea, love it!
HA! HA! HA! You made me laugh out loud! That's the story of my life, getting so involved with something I forget to make dinner.
I love this! LOL And how I relate to one project moving me right into another one like you talked about. I am working on some projects like these myself as I get ready for winter...I'm actually one of those weird people who loves to be warm and cozy in my house with my family with something yummy simmering on the stove. LOL
Can't wait to read more of your blog! Thanks for coming to visit me on my blog today. I am thrilled to find your blog...I've heard of your book and am looking forward to getting my hands on one soon. I will definitely be sharing it with my readers when I do! :D
Blessings!

Thanks for coming by and visiting, everyone. Karenpie, I am glad to know I am not the only one who gets so involved in a project I forget to make dinner ;) And Mary Joy, that is not weird at all that you like to make your home warm and cozy; I would love to come by and taste that "something yummy" simmering on your stove.
I don't use patterns! I know you asked on my little crochet hobby post. :-)
Lynn, we are out of green tomatoes now and I'm SAD!! Hubby and I make a killer fried green tomato. (do y'all eat that in CA? :D )
Love the decorated bags!!
Somtimes projects take priority over dinner - that's what pizza is for! :)
Love this idea. Im putting a link to it on my blog as soon as I finish posting this. Its economical and enviromentally friendly which is a good thing nowadays. Thanks for sharing!
