Gift bags

I made gift bags for my thank you gifts for the teachers this afternoon...what do yo think? :)
They're without handles cos I couldn't find any string.

I got back from Nottingham on Wednesday, the bus to Avezzano was an hour late and the bus driver had the cheek to ask me where I was when the bus arrived!!
Italian pollen is a lot stronger than English pollen I'm really suffering despite my million hayfever tablets I made sure to bring with me! But at least it means summer's finally here! And that means good fruit season hehe I filled my basket with cherries, strawberries, peaches, nectarines and these small orange fruits that look like apricots but don't taste like them :/
Only 13 days left and Mauriz and Tiz are trying to organise a meal out for all the english teachers :)
See you all soon :)
