Happy Birthday Cameron

I’m always looking for ways to be greener.  When our cousin’s sons birthday party was coming up, they said he was really into Legos.  It seems like you buy this huge box with only about a 1/4 being used to house the Legos.  Then over time the box breaks down and Legos are falling out everywhere.  I decided to pull out the sewing machine and stitch up this drawstring bag (that I learned how to make in middle school)for the Legos.  I put the box of Legos inside the bag (not knowing if he had this set already) and used the bag as the gift wrap and then explained that the Legos could be stored in there once opened, making it easier to take them with him to a friends’ house and such.  Next I whipped up a simple boy looking tag for the bag.  Both the Legos and the bag were a hit!
