The brown bag

How was your Forth of July? Did you get to set off fireworks or just enjoyed them while someone else was setting them off. We had a quiet holiday swimming, barbequing, and going to the local fair unfortunately we didn’t get to see any fireworks. My daughter just crashed from the day’s activities before we got the chance to see the fireworks. I guess there is always next year.

We live in a day where everything has to have more than one purpose. Well how about the versatile brown lunch bag or the brown grocery bag or even the brown roll paper that you can get from any craft or home improvement store. I like the brown bag/paper because you can use it for so many things.

1. Can be used for wrapping up presents.
