Something About Nothing

One of my lunch bag students whose name is Delight allowed me to take a few photos with her camera and now that I have copies I thought I would share them here:  We had an enormous classroom which allowed everyone to spread out.  I like how after your generosity I neglected to get a photo of the camera owner.  However I suppose if it were me I would have avoided the camera as well.   Thanks for your help Delight!

Perhaps it is time to retreat back to the sewing room and make a few of the easy bags for my girls to take to school.  They have been teaching their fellow classmates all about reusable lunch gear.
