My New Happy Bag

Those of you who check in often know how I love my Happy Bags.  My SIL Debb makes me these bags for different occasions.  Well not to long ago we had the Tour De California ride by our house.  It was a very big deal.  They closed the road in both direction for the riders.  Debb called the night before and said she and Tom were coming over early to get a good seat and watch the riders go by.  I worked at my grandsons school that day so I would not be home but my hubby would be their. 
Okay to make a short story long...  The next day I went into my scrapbook room and laying on the table was my new and now favorite Happy Bag.

It has pictures of paintings by Cezanne, Gauguin, Renoir, Monet, and many more.  I was in France last year and got to see all these paintings and the homes of most of the painters so I really love this bag.  It takes me back to France every time I look at it, and that makes me smile. The inside has lots of paintings too.  If you have ever been to Giverny to Claude Monet home the yellow is the same color as his Dining room.  Very vibrant!  I love it.
While in France I took pictures with my stripped Happy Bag everywhere we went.  So on my next trip I will take this one.
You can see all my Happy Bags that Debb has made me here.

Thanks Debb I just love it.

My Happy Bags

I have a new addition to my Happy Bag collection. 
I just love bags, my SIL Debb makes beautiful quilts and one day she made a bag to carry some of her quilting stuff in.  Well I fell in love with her bag.  I will post a picture of her bags at a later date.  When my birthday came around she gave me this bag and it was the start of it all.  Debb called it a Happy Bag because it makes you smile when you see it.  I love sunflowers, so the sunflower material was perfect for me.  It has pockets on the outside and pockets on the inside too, it holds my CMTH paper packs perfectly and there is plenty of room for my embellishments too.
This is Happy Bag #1

For Christmas I got Happy Bag #2
She traveled all over France with me and was pictured in Monet's Garden, Normandy,  Amboise, Musee d'Orsay, on the top of the Eiffel Tower, and all around Paris.  I got lots of comments about how beautiful she was.  It was a great conversation starter.
So here she is Happy Bag #2

Last night when my Husband came home from Bocce Ball he said "Here Debb said you would know what this was for"  I thought I would scream.  My Happy Bag #3 it holds my Cricut E. it stay open so I can load my E easily.  It has 2 large pockets that can hold all my accessories.  This is so cool.  I can't believe she made me one.  I love it.

Here is Happy Bag #3

I can't tell you how much I love these bags.  If you see this Debb Thanks I love, love, love it.  I already have an embellishment in mind with a new technique that I saw.   I will post that later.
