My New Old Church Bag

 Have you ever bought something only to find that many others have the same thing?

Well that's what happened to me. I bought this cute canvas bag at Seagull Book months ago. It was only $4.  I thought "what a great deal". 

 

This bag is huge too, which is a must for me.  I love it.  The last month or so I've noticed more and more people have my bag;)   Well, it all became to much for me when I literally picked up someone else's bag thinking it was mine.  Here's what I did to fix the problem.

On my last trip to the store, I picked up some colored Sharpies.  Wow! I found that you can spend a lot of money on Sharpies if your so inclined.  The pack I bought was only $3.

 

First I laid the bag flat. I stuck a notebook inside to catch any bleeding through, but I didn't need too. Better safe than sorry, I guess.

Then I set to work coloring. I found that I could only do 2 or 3 flowers before needing a break.  (Marker fumes are NOT good for you)

 

Here it is all finished.

Before using, stick it in the dryer for 20-30 minutes to "set the stain", so to speak.

What do you think?
