Pretty Pink Take Home Bags
Hey everyone! Cowabelle here with some super ideas for pink-themed take home bags. Some people call them treat bags, some people call them loot bags – whatever you call them, they’re awesome! I volunteered to put the treat bags together for our Pink Party. My BFF Roberta is going to help me out ( yay!). Here’s what we’re putting in the bags: Pink jellybeans – We’ve got some in strawberry, cream soda and bubblegum. Pink Ribbon Pink pot and a packet of pretty pink aster seeds Pink ‘Thank You!’ card Pink heart stickers Pink lollipop I think it’s maybe the best treat bag I’ve ever made…and I’ve made a lot! I really hope everyone likes them. Do you have any suggestions for other things we could add to make our treat bags even better?
