Three Generations of kathy's bag!


If this doesn't bring a smile to your face,
Nothing will!
Kathy's friend Judy asked me if I would make a kathy's bag for her daughters and grand-daughters.
She wanted to give them a bag for their birthdays.  The last birthday was in July and she sent me this adorable picture of them all with their kathy's bag.



I scaled down the size for the little girls.
And YES I had tears of JOY when I opened my e-mail and these pictures showed up on the screen.

This why I make kathy's bags!
We are now drawing near to the 100th kathy's bag on someone's shoulder.
That person might get an extra surprise in their kathy's bag!

kathy's bag a MAN BAG?


A lot of surprises awaited us on a weekend get-away to the remote corner of northeast Washington. When we arrived in the parking lot of Sullivan Lake this gentleman was waiting on the shoreline with the transportation of choice to the the rustic cabin in which we would be spending the weekend.  Little did he know the story behind kathy's bag when he offered to strap it on his shoulder for his 1/4 mile trek through the woods while hubby and I paddled our way across the lake.  The next day I shared with him the story behind kathy's bag.  


This was one the most relaxing weekends I can recall.  In the early mornings this lake was like a sheet of glass and I was happy to be paddling around with my kathy's bag at my side.


A helping hand was always required while entering and exiting the kayaks, unless you needed a bath.



This beautiful women is one of the kindest God-loving friends anyone could ask for.  She has blessed me with her friendship and has been gracious to share her children and grandchildren with me.  Our move to Spokane would not have been as smooth without her presence.  She is the wife of the gentleman who offered to carry my kathy's bag on the first day there.

Do we really need to head home?  This picture says it all........
We had a fabulous time.  Thank, Mark and Patti!
kathy's bag enjoyed the journey!
