       Decorated treat bags...really?!?!?
       I am NOT spending time decorating a treat bag for kids to rip
       apart and trash!
       And...do I ever give treat bags to adults???  NO!
       So...is this craze just because they have run out of things to
       alter.  Or a result of stay at home moms with WAY to much time
       on their hands.
       Ok...my soap box moment...sometimes I just don't get the latest
       craze.

       I look at them and say "cute" but I wouldn't take the time to
       make them.

       I'm guilty ... sort of.  When my daughter was little I never
       "crafted" anything for her birthday parties really, especially
       treat bags because like you said, they rip them open, no thought
       to what went in to making them.  However this Valentines Day I
       crafted and created 75 little lollipop wrappers, they were
       stamped with different polka dot patterns and punched for a
       ribbon tie at the top.  Basically you stood the lollipop on its
       head inside of the holder, then ran the ribbon through the
       punched holes at the top and tied it around the lollipop keeping
       it in place.  I then decorated each stamped holder with punched
       hearts that I added white stitch lines to with a pen, and
       stamped Valentine messages on each.  They were so cute ... and
       gosh don't I wish I had done them when my girl was little, it
       was so worth the time and effort.  My husband took the majority
       of them to the kids in his classroom on V-Day and my daughter
       took the remaining pops in holders to work with her at the
       grocery store.  From what I've been told, everyone loved them,
       and the kids in my husbands class are still talking about them.
       The majority took them home to "show mom" according to the hubs
       and some of the kids are asking me to write out instructions so
       they can make their own next year.  Made me smile ... even
       though I'm sure some of the kids just ripped them off and then
       threw away the handmade holders, just knowing that a few loved
       them was good enough for me.

       I'm guilty.... I know they rip it up but it's fun to look at
       their faces when they get it.  I do it for all special occasios.

       I love the look of them but I haven't made any.  Not saying I
       won't ever do it but it does seem like a waste of expensive
       scrapbooking paper that is going to be tossed into the trash.
