Gift Bags and Tags Craft Project- There are some things I am compelled to save. Grocery bags, plastic bags, gift bags, shopping bags, they all have a place. I do use most of them again, even if it's for just collecting trash. I have an area designated for all my gift giving wrappings, bows, tissue and of course all those bags that I know I can regift. As the holidays approach, and I see a move looming in our future, I am on a mission to reuse as much as I can so I don't have to pitch it or pack it! My assortment of holiday gift bags is a little slim this year, probably because I seem to regift them as fast as I acquire them, and I refuse to buy gift bags when I have a shopping bag full of shopping bags from the last year that is bulging at the seams.
