Last year I made each of them a set of the rolynesters. I nested the rolynesters together (kids really got a kick out of finding one after the other inside each other) and stuffed the inside one with little knicknacks and candy.

You can put your sandwich in a baggie and get bacteria. At least you can wash a quilted bag. or you can put the dandich in the plastic bag before you put it in the sanwich wrapper. When you unwrap the wrapper, it becomes a placemat! I do want this pattern!!!!

those sound super..hope we get to see pics

The sandwich bag may not be a good idea because of bacterial but the lunch bag and drink pouch sounds like a greaat idea.

Yes, please

only if you reuse the baggie. I usually throw away my plastic sandwich bag for this reason.

Good Idea, but I really want to embroider it. Maybe I can needle point or...ask a frind with a machine!

Could you print it on fabric and do that instead? The photo printing paper is more expensive than using freezer paper but it might last longer....great idea (mind if I copy?) :roll:

:lol:

I have thought of that to! I wouldn't mind sharing My Mother's recipes at all!

Every year I say I'm gonna stop making them but then I just can't....LOL It's to hard to stop a tradition. So...if anybody has any ornament idea's I'm listening/reading.

Thank you,

Rolynesters are sets of zippered storage units that nest inside each other. The instructions are found at the following site:

Do you crochet, Mish? I belong to a crochet snowflake group and you can really build a nice variety of snowflakes.
