Valentine Treats for Nursing Home Visits

I am a leader of the Mary Martha Circle/United Methodist Women in Jasper, Alabama.  One of my goals over the next two years is to reach out and visit those women who are not able to attend our monthly meeting.  I am so excited that my dear friend Charlene agreed to be the Nursing Home/Outreach Coordinator.

Today Charlene and I visited three women at a nursing home.  Here is "a little Something for you" treat bag I made for them.

* I purchased white bags from a restaurant supplier.  They have a 2 stamped on the front of the bag and 81-4 on the bottom.  They measure 8 1/4" x 4" with a gusset of 2 1/2".  I trimmed them down from 8 1/4" to 2 1/2" to fit between two Top Note die cuts.
