things I bought for my OOT bag today...

[boscobel]

Ya know, I didn't even check the size, but you are right, they are only 5"... Darn. Oh well, still cute, but alot tinier then I thought.

I know, I was pretty excited to find something that fit to perfectly. Who cares if they are cheap, they only need to last a few days!

I was hoping that people wouldn't think I was silly for dumping the first aid stuff. What you said is exactly waht my sis said, but I still wanted to do the first aid stuff. Just had to choose what I could afford. Stupid money limits.

Ya know, I didn't think of that either! I am such an impulse buyer! They are 4 1/4" but I have no idea how big a coin purse is. I would assume they are big enough, cuz they are usually big enough for an ID or credit card, but I will check back in when I receive the order...

Def will do that. Morgan's DIY cups were what actually turned me onto this idea. I thought going this route though might take less artistic talent, since I have like none.

Thanks everyone else for the nice comments! It's so nice to post things and have people back you up 100% on the choices that you made.

Rock on.

Carly, everything looks great! I have ordered from Oriental Trading twice already, but I think I may need to get those coin purses now too. I've been debating the water guns and beach balls too...ugh, I hate budgets!

 

If you decide you still want to do first aid bags, it really wasn't too expensive. I bought everything in the past few weeks and spent less than $150 for probably about 65 bags. I got Tylenol, Pepto Bismol and the bags on ebay; sanitizer wipes at Staples; bandaids and alcohol wipes at Dollar Tree; Shout wipes from Minimus; and lip balm from Avon.

ahh man. at first i thought the coin purse were water wings. that would be sweet. put some water wings in the oot bags haha

[Myda77]

The beachballs are cute. Very good idea!

[MsShelley]

Such cute stuff, Carly! I really love the cups you decorate yourself! We get the ones from Starbucks that we decorate and they turn out adorable!

[foxytv]

Oh I like, I like!

 

I've got to do another OTC order ... so I think I'll be adding the beach balls, water guns, bubbles and coin purses (depending on how much $$ I can squeeze out of a dry turnip -- being our wedding account, lol).

 

I still have to get the Advil, etc too.

 

Ugh..
