Look at all the compartments! Maybe I'll get a GI Joe...I love compartments, specially ones with zippers!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave comments - it made my day!

I have to say that making these things for the GI Joe’s was a lot of fun. But the most fun, for me, was meeting some of the most wonderful people on this planet - the ones I bought the GI Joe’s from! One was from S. Carolina, one from Hawaii, and two right here in mid-Iowa. It was a lot of work searching different GI Joe-for-sale sites, but fun, too. Took me way out of my normal “box”.

And, yes, my grandson was ecstatic! And, I am sure that the tote made my DS and DDIL very happy, because it keeps all those teeny, weeny pieces together.

I love, love, love the neat way you put in the zippers. I do zippers now and then, and hate them.

You do them very well. Maybe one day I can do the same. I"m still learning a lot of things.
