Any of you day home ladies use them ? we could work something out to reimburse for shipping. I need 28 or so to make one purse, and I just don't go through that much juice. LOL. It occured to me that some of you might, esp the day home providers.

moped replied: Ahhhhhh I just threw out about 50 of those things from the lake!

What do these purses look like?

PrairieMom replied:
DANG!! fish 'em out!!

moped replied: Very cool Tara, so tell me this isn't the purse you will carry for dinner dates with DH etc?

PrairieMom replied:
we don't really do dinner dates, esp the kind that would require special purses.
I have been using it just for every day mommy activities, grocery shopping and stuff like that.

MoonMama replied: I wanna see Tara, but I don't have facebook.

PrairieMom replied:
#1, get facebook.
I don't know how to get a pic from over at face book to here. I have to take a different one. I'll try to get it posted later.

moped replied: Hope its ok that I grabbed it Tara, here is the pic

A&A'smommy replied: they sell those among others like it here at christmas time

PrairieMom replied:
yeah!

coasterqueen replied: Oh yeah, I've seen them before. Didn't know they were still popular. Very cute and green.

MoonMama replied: WOW Tara that's really cool and cute! Your so talented!

danahas4monkeys replied: Tara I will start saving them with 4 kids we go through those like we do toilet paper! I know we easily go through 3-4 boxes a week on a slow week! That is so cool I would never have thought of doing something like that although on vacation we did see bracelets made out of pepsi cans. I'll let you know when i have a good stack of them.

PrairieMom replied:
awesome!!

Mommy2Isabella replied: we go through quite a few around here as well. I will let you know when we have a good bit and send them your way!! Though they do have a recycling program for the Capri Suns ... TerraCycle.com I think ..

moped replied: We dont have that exact juice but I have occasionally bought the Kool Aid Jammers and I found a demin type purse made of those. If I buy more (which is rare) I will let you know!

I think they send them to under developed areas for people to make them into thier purses and stuff. I saw on line where a bunch of ladies in the phillipenes were making these purses.
