Bee Happy!

Wow, is life crazy-busy or what!! Don't know about you but it seems to in over-drive right now.  As with most companies, we "down-sized" last year and are down to just the "chosen-few" at work.  Unfortunately, we are VERY busy right now so it's EXTREMELY stressful in the office....everyone's feeling a bit over-worked and under appreciated. I thought maybe I could help brighten the office a little by making the "girls" a thank-you bag.  (It's really just a simple white inexpensive bag from Michaels). I embroidered the bag with their name and a flower with a smiley face on the front. Then, for the back, I found the cutest little bear  holding a bee, and I added the saying "Bee Happy". (Isn't this just the CUTEST bear ever!! I found her at Bearly Makin' It Embroidery.  They have the most adorable bears and they stitch like butter!!!!! I bought a few more, so you'll probably see them again, hee-hee) Also, I added a cute FSL smiley face to help remind the girls to smile (doesn't everyone look a bit prettier with a smile on their face).  I filled the bag with some goodies to encourage some smiles...chocolate!!!, candy, gum, a candle, and chapstick (you can't smile with chapped lips, LOL!!). It's not much but at least we had 1 day of everyone smiling!!!
Here's the front:
Here's the back:
And here's a close-up of one of them with the FSL:
I had to make 6 of them, so it took me most of last weekend, but I think it was well worth it! What do you think?

Gee Paula, I wish I worked in your office! These bags are fantastic! Any chance you could make me one for my best friend and I'd pay you for it, along with shipping? Hugs, Gail
