Jessie goes to Middle school

Jessie’s bag is on the road again. We are out and about a little bit every week.

#jessiesbagsontheroad

One of the stops this week was a local Middle school.  Jessie’s Bags loves working with young people. There is a group of young ladies who are volunteers, at a nearby middle school one day a week.

a new Jessie's Bags Button!

They have created a flyer for Jessie & her bags. 

This week they quickly put together a button for Jessie’s bags that we love.

 The time we spend together is interesting. We see all the things young people are interested in, they love music and they love to be creative in what ever they do if its fabric pieces bows or pulling fabric apart

Putting Jessie's labels on tags!

The group of volunteers also helped us process 

some donated fabric into bags.

 We appreciated the help and as they head phones in place, talked & sang they worked and accomplished a great deal. This experience is reminding me what it is like to be young.

 Jessie enjoyed being there this week trying to get a sewing machine up & running, she was eager to teach the girls how to do a little sewing. Their young energy recharges our battery.

These young people are Excited about life and eager to do everything. As they were talking trash about each other, play the dozens, and teasing each other you see the fabric of their lives. The friendships are obvious. The jealousy is also there but they work side by side accomplishing a goal, Helping Jessie make bags.

Guess who's cell phone rang ! Her sister calling to check on Jessie!

It’s good to be reminded of youth........

Jessie’s Bags also visit a lot of senior centers and nursing homes to work with and visit with her sister and the older ladies. It’s interesting to see the fabric of their lives. They smile and tease each other they talk about old time’s places they have seen things they enjoy. Sometimes the talk is about the surgeries on my knee my hip. I also notice the sibling rivalry still abounds. Jessie and her sister still compete and still fuss like two little kids. They also compete for my attention. And when I buy something for one I must buy two. The friendships are obvious. The jealousy is also there but they work side by side accomplishing a goal, Helping Jessie make bags.

So Many similarities between the old & young……  we welcome all to help Jessie & our bag project making bags for breast Cancer Survivors...

..Thank you see you next time!  We appreciate the help..... Thank you Ladies.
