BEAUTIFUL bag!! *keeps fingers crossed*
Well, one of our fave things is to bring my dad, some friends and maybe my sis, meet up with the inlaws, have a nice dinner together & round the evening off with some wine, chitchat & board games.
We always have so much FUN together!
Love that bag!!!

One of our favorite things to do together is have a squirt gun fight in the backyard (the animals have to watch out...they are fair game to the kids!)

Who wouldn't want that lovely bag? Gorgeous!

I have two toddlers, so we're usually slaves to their nap and bedtime. But sometimes we throw caution to the wind and just go on an adventure. And they almost always go well. Most recently, we drove up to the beach and a had a late (for them) dinner right on the water! It was great.

Thanks for the generous giveaway!

Gorgeous bag!!! I like to spend time outdoors with my family- biking, hiking, fishing, walking, playing. Just enjoying! That is, when the mosquitoes let us!

I love the bag! One our favorite things to do as a family is go to the drive in movies! Kids 11 and under are free, so we only have to pay (for a coule more months at least) for my hubby and I and our 16 yr. old. The other 4 kids get in free. Plus, we bring all the food and drinks from home, so it ends up being a pretty cheap way to see 2 movies, without having to worry about unruly kids! We MIGHT get to go see the new Harry Potter there this weekend! Yay!

Since my husband and I live in Sri Lanka and my three children live in Australia what I would love to do is just have them home sprawled on our bed just chatting and catching up.

I love that bag Leah! You are so great talented!

My favorite thing to do with my family is go outside and let my daughter play. She is always so excited to go outside and swing, slide and even play in the dirt. She has slowly learned to throw rocks in mud puddles and to me it is the cutest thing. Just a nice simple evening when I get home from a long day at work.

Hope I win this!
Mollie saidā€¦
Oh, I love the bag:o) One of our favorite family activities is to pile into the car and head to the mountains. We all love to hike...my two year old hiked her first trail at 18 months all by herself (up and down:o). We also love to roast hot dogs and marshmallows in the mountains.
Unknown saidā€¦
Love the bag! We like to fish at the lake off my Dad's dock. I get to put the worms on the hooks and take the fish off!

I love to make a fire in our backyard fire ring and sit around it with my family. We roast hot dog, make s'mores and talk as the late afternoon turns to night time.
Anonymous saidā€¦
the bag is pretty pretty. Our family has always like sitting around the dinner table chatting about the day. And, always "going to the cabin" in the mountains on a little lake, where there is swimming, fishing, rowing the boat, or hiking or just a drive thru the forest to see the wildlife and wildflowers.
Whitney saidā€¦
Cute bag! I love to try a new recipe or an old standby for a warm family dinner!
Marlene saidā€¦
We love taking walks together that eventually lead to a park. Parks are great places for exploring together.
What a gorgeous bag!

I love just being with my husband and kids in the mountains, exploring and hiking and being together!

Thanks for the opportunity to win this great bag. (BTW, I'm fairly new to your blog - thanks for the inspiration!)

Such a cute bag! My favorite thing to do with my family is quilt, of course! My mom, a couple of her sisters, her aunt, her sister's daughter's husband's mom (hey, she's family!) and a few friends get together once a month to quilt. We spend an awful lot of time talking and eating, and just enough time sewing to feel productive.
love the bag,, one of our favorite things to do together is gather at somebody's house and have a big cookout and just enjoy hanging out together talking about old times. When we had a camper we loved to go camping at different places.. so much fun.
Lynne in NC saidā€¦
We enjoy our evening family meal together and then we watch a movie or play a board game.
It's our way to connect with each other at the end of the work/school day and share a laugh or two.

I have always loved going to a park for a picnic, & if we (the family) can with weather permitting go for a picnic. Bring a plate, blanket & some drinks & the kids can run around..what more do you want! I'm glad I held off buying the pattern yet, as I might have chance here..fingers crossed! Thanks Leah!
Oh wow! I love this bag. :) I also love bike riding with my family.

We love gardening! Our little 3 1/2 year old quadruplet grandbabies and their big 5 year old brother, know exactly what are weeds and what are the tomato plants, okra plants, cucumbers, etc. They beg to "work" in the garden.

Our family likes to visit my father-in-law in the nursing home where he lives. He is 91 and can still play his harmonica and tells wonderful long stories, with his great sense of humor thrown in. He is not your typical elderly man, lol! We usually have a nice dinner together on the way home and catch up on what's going on in our "kids" lives. They are young adults now.
Unknown saidā€¦
I love playing board games with my family. We are all competitive in a good way... LOL if there is a good way to be competitive. :) It is a lot of fun to play games with them.

Great bag too!

My husband's parents live in a beach resort town. When our kids were little, taking a week vacation at their house was an annual event(they were both teachers and off for the summers.) Fast forward many years, we just returned from a long weekend to celebrate my DMIL 71st birthday. All 4 of my children plus 2 spouses and 4 grandchildren were there. It just keeps getting better!
Rhonda saidā€¦
Beautiful bag!
Our family loves to hike together. We take a picnic lunch and enjoy God's beautiful creation.
Nice bag! Because the weekends are always so jammed packed with a lot of other activities, my son and I have Family Game Night on Wednesdays. He cooks dinner (he'll be 17 in August) and I provide snacks and/or dessert. We talk about how things are going so far in the week and make plans for the weekend. It's nice to take a day in the middle of the week and do something just for the both of us.

What an awesome bag! Hubby and I were big travelers before our little one came along a few months ago, so now we do more simple things together: go on walks, watch movies, and the like. Not nearly as exciting, but just as enjoyable!

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....

Cute as a Button Bookmark Tutorial

These are called Cute as a Button Bookmakers. They are cheap, easy to make and are wonderful gifts!  All you need is  Bookmarkers/ PaperClips Size 45 or 1 1/8" Button Covers and kit Glue Gun Pliers (which you won't need if you get the flat back buttons).

Step 4: Let it cool and it's ready to use! Happy Crafting!
