As someone who always reuses her grocery bags (paper and plastic, which makes me known as "the bag lady" at the grocery store), and as someone who appreciates handmade items (being a knitter, quilter and cross-stitcher), I would greatly appreciate one of your bags! My e-mail is WithAnEye(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Judi (with an "I"). Thank you.

My daughter, Julia Salazar, told me about your making bags that can be reused for shopping. When I lived in South America I used baskets for shopping. Maybe the old ways aren't so bad, don't you think? I am glad you have reminded everyone about something that was done so long ago and for so long.

Wahhhhh.... I don't have a bag and I've become quite the collector. How many people have a "Make Love Not Trash" bag? I love to see people react to the hot pink bag. I surely would like to add one of your bags to my collection. Will you be having another giveaway any time soon? Until then, I remain Green Bagless Lady.
