    I made these, and tucked them in an oversized hat box in random order. Too cute. Check out pics on innercirclechic.blogspot.com :)

    I went to InTheClear on Etsy and just loved her shop! She has these bags in all kinds of colors and has other bags too! I was able to find items I need for Valentines Day also.

    Thanks for the wonderful tip Martha!
