Bags for Christmas

So... one of the reasons that I (Brynn) have been working so hard on making bags lately is that in just a week or so some of our extended family will be leaving for China.  Then shortly after that the rest will be going, making a total of three sisters, and one brother and his family as our China family.  Last year when Christmas rolled around we packed a box with Christmas present and sent it off to China... and the shipping cost us more than the presents!!  I guess to make it worthwhile we need to send more expensive gifts!:)  So mom thought that this year we could send the gifts along with them in their suitcases when they travel back to China, and they could save the presents and open them at Christmas.   As strange as it seems to think about Christmas in August, that is why I have been making so many bags.  My sisters have said that they would like to have one, so I'll just let them choose and send it with them.  (I did tell them that if they want to save it for Christmas I could wrap it up and they could open it then:)). 

Here are the latest three...
