A couple of weeks ago I got another email:
Hello, I just found your site and am in LOVE! I don't know if I can send
a pic because the work is done at a school. I am trying to work on my
son's fourth grade teacher end of the year gift. She loves to beachcomb
and we are hoping to use one of your bags as part of her gift. She has
really instilled in the children this year to create projects out of
recycled materials (projects are hanging in the classroom now out of
recycled materials). They have recycle bins everywhere. The kids have
learned to recycle EVERYTHING - pens, capri suns, paper, water bottles,
ink cartridges, and they have learned so much about protecting our
earth. They don't waste paper, etc. My son now has us not using plastic
water bottles and we only use re-usable shopping bags. It has been such
a great year. Even our first grader has become conscious of mother
earth. I will try to take a picture of the classroom tomorrow but the
school is very strict about pictures being taken. This teacher, Mrs.
Porter has been such a blessing. My son has some significant medical
issues and she never threw in the towel once this year with him. We are
so blessed. We are trying to stuff a recycled bag for her with lots of
wonderful tools to comb the beach. We live in FL and a wonderful gift
card to Barnes and Nobles so she can read this summer and enjoy her
break. She deserves it, she has worked so hard with our precious
kiddos. Thank you for all you do as well to make our world a better and
brighter place!

So, for the special and dedicated Mrs. Porter, I made her a couple of beach bags. They have mesh on the bottom so that sand can fall out, leaving all the beach trash (and maybe some treasure) inside the bag.

That's just wonderful of you Teresa! It's always good to hear of such a great teacher.
Great idea to use mesh on the bottom.. They will like it for sure
Your love and generosity never cease to inspire and amaze me. There is no doubt in my mind that the world is a better place with YOU in it Green Bag Lady!
Thanks Tami, and, I agree, the world needs as many awesome teachers as we can get!
Thanks Uma, really not that much harder to make than a regular bag.
Aw, thanks Harmony, you are the best!
You were great! Success to you in the future. Sorry for mistakes, I don't speak
