29. strawberry goodie bags/stuffed toy

there is going to be a lot of strawberry going on here, so get ready. i've been in a very berry kind of mood lately...

don't they look delicious in a bowl?

how about hanging from the vine? (or in this case, from the umbrella on our deck)

how about filled with candy? which is what they really were ... the poor mothers whose kids got them... i did redeem myself by stuffing the bottom halves with polyfil, so when the candy is all gone, the moms can fill up the strawberry with more polyfil, tie the whole thing closed and use it as a stuffed toy. although admittedly, they are rather giant. alternatively, one can also empty the strawberry entirely and use it as a small bag

ok, well the most important question here is: why would anyone make loot bags/goodie bags anyway? to give away at the end of a strawberry themed birthday party, right? so can you guess why i made these?

yep, my baby girl is 1!

happy birthday, sweet darling
