Back in 2010, I painted up this bag:

BlessingsBag-wm

I recently pulled it out of the closet and decided to paint over my original design.

Bag-wm

I love that you can still see portions of the old painting through the new painting and yet the bag is totally transformed!

And here's a photo of me wearing the bag:

I've been very happily carrying it around!

Thanks for stopping by!
