I first made bags for my sister and neice for Christmas one year I got a craftsman tool bag around the holidays for five dollars and it was the perfect size {meant as a fun helpful joke bag} then others heard about it now I see everyone is making them '''''''I think these bags would be good for kids to make for parents Christmas bazaar at school pta they could have the bag and 6 choices and let the kids pick 3 to go in their bag make2 dollars on each bag throw nice end of year party for kids or use it for library equipment I need to quit thinking thanks for listening it takes my mind off pain and I love to think of ways to help kids...... everyone have a nice day

I always have a bag packed and I too am on a limited income due to my disability. I make sure I have everything I need in what usually proves to be awhile in the hospital or mental place . I always have 2 changes of clothes, deodarant, hair brush , soap, hairbrush /shampoo and conditioner, toothbrush and paste. sneakers some cases require me to bring my controlled substance meds due to their not dispensing it at the hospital. Adderal is never provided at any hospital. I don't get why but anyway I do try to be prepared ...anyways that is how i work
