I'm going to have to copy!<br />I was just thinking the other day as I was shopping for company, why can't things some in cuter packaging? Logos these days are just bold and ugly. A party around those bags sounds genius. :)<br />~MichelleMichelle, All Home and Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389260169050041993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-55390232381020978232010-08-23T22:34:06.937-04:002010-08-23T22:34:06.937-04:00that is the cutest lunch box ever! where did you f...that is the cutest lunch box ever! where did you find it? please tell :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-53557504022063107912010-08-23T10:31:19.379-04:002010-08-23T10:31:19.379-04:00Such great back to school traditions ♥ Love that s...Such great back to school traditions ♥ Love that sweet little "Happy Plate" with the painted cherries ~ so adorable!<br />Wishing Maddie & Emma a wonderful school year.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03254382654565513811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-50592659264693068682010-08-23T08:08:50.537-04:002010-08-23T08:08:50.537-04:00I am so happy that school has started well for you...I am so happy that school has started well for your girls.
