Is there a web site for these bag patterns or do you have a photo?

Don't forget to check for free patterns on the web. I also find bloggers are very generous with patterns and tutorials.

I do the same thing. I make simple bags with drawstring tops. Instead of cards, I print a bunch of pictures of my grandkids and of DH and me. I paperpunch a hole in a corner and put the appropriate DGK picture and ours on each bag. It's actually cheaper than paper, and DDIL finds uses for the bags.

Try a scrappy string pot holder or those "hottie" microwave bowls. My family love using them & they are quick & easy!

I've been making American Girl doll clothes for my granddaughters. One can also sell them -- $18.00 for a vest, shirt, pants and boots.
