all it took was a little Fuchsia spray paint. some painters tape and grocery ads.
take note: it isn't the smartest to spray paint on your kitchen counter...
this is why!
i am a genius i tell you. yes that is Pink spray paint.
it did come off with Clorox wipes.
gotta press some Fabric, and what do you do when you don't own a real iron?
a flat iron will do FINE!
to press the edges
whah lah!
gotta love the wonder of a hot glue gun!it makes every project FABULOUS!
a little mega bow with Bling
some edgy pins 
some ribbon, and a rhinestone slide
along with some FABULOUS FUCHSIA LIPS(key chain)
and we have a backpack ready to start the year out right with JOY!
this backpack is so fabulous i am tempted to keep it for myself!
i was inspired by this bag embellishing.
oh crap and the sun is coming up!
i better go to bed. happy sunday. i am seriously gonna need a nap!

So I stopped by to see if you posted any pics of "the clock". I've been dreaming of it and trying to come up with ways to raise money so that I could go buy one myself. And since comming up with an extra $45 isn't all that easy, I figured I'd come to see if you have a pic so I could just stare and covet. I see no picture but I do see an awesome tutorial on re-doing backpacks! I have to give you and A++ for that one. It's freakin' cute! What a lucky daughter you have. Thanks for sharing. You'll have to tell us On a scale of 1-10 what was the level of difficulty.
♥ That is freaking cute!!!! Good job you! :)
You are sooooooooooooooo awesome!
I love how it turned out, your girls are so lucky!!!!
It doesn't even look redone.
That's the most amazing bag transformation EVER!! You did an awesome job!!! I don't blame you for wanting to keep it yourself. I would too!!
Super cute bag! Awesome idea! Way to go with keeping the costs down! I may have to give that a try sometime. Thanks for the idea!
So...I haven't read all your comments, but I'm sure I'm not saying anything new when I say you are BRILLIANT. And RAD.
FABULOUS! Love the BAGS!! I think I will be using your tips and picking your brain when my kid is finally in school!! LOVE IT!! SUPER TALENTED YOU!!!
Julia, you simply OVERWHELM ME with your creativity! I can coupon like a genius, but crafts like that are LOST on me. I could not even follow the directions to make one of those!!! YOU ROCK GIRLFRIEND!
