Every few months, the designers at The Digichick design Grab Bags. And, every single time, someone starts a thread in the designer forum where some newbie asks, “How much should I put in this thing?” and “How much should I price it at?”

I just gotta say that these “designer” types from The Digichick are putting WAY too much stuff in their Grab Bags, and they are pricing it WAY too low. Seriously. If you have ever purchased a Grab Bag from one of The Digichick designers, you know what I mean.

But, hey, I’m not gonna complain! If they want to lavish me with their gifts for a measly little price, I’m not going to deny them that pleasure.

Here is a little sneak peek at some of the items I’ve been playing with this week!

Once again, I had time to scrap! The floors were not crunchy (at the time) and the laundry was . . . sitting nicely in piles . . . okay, so I’m not completely caught up on my housework, but oh well!!

First up, I grabbed Danielle Engebretson’s Grab Bag.

Behind the scenes, Dani is the one who packs WAY too much into her way underpriced bag. Well, Dani and Mari.

What I loved about this Grab Bag, besides the gorgeous elements, word art, and two complete kits(!!), was the incredibly versatile alphas and sets and sets of neutral, versatile papers. When I saw ALL that she had packed into this bag, I was in shock!

AND, you can see that she has a boy kit and a girl kit in her GB!! YAY!

Anyway, I played and came up with this layout!

Ah, how I love that boy!! Everything on this layout is from Danielle Engebretson’s February Grab Bag.

After that rush of actually completing a layout, I downloaded Pamela Donnis’ Grab Bag. Pamela is known throughout the Digi World for her extraordinary felty elements that she hand cuts. Did you see the adorable Groundhog Day freebie she posted on her blog yesterday? SO cute!! You got a little sneak preview of her Grab Bag when I posted the buttons in the #speedclean post.

Pamela’s Grab Bag is SO much fun! It is filled with 5 different kits with papers, a set of numbers, and felty pieces all related to the home: shopping, cleaning, saving, and dinner (oh, how CUTE is her felt food!?!).

I was immediately inspired to create a chore chart for Grant. We had one for a while, but then it stopped being used, so I’m excited to start using it again!

Several people have requested that I create a chart to sell or give away here on my blog. If I do it, it will be a lot of work, so I want to know that people will ACTUALLY download it. If you like it, leave a comment and perhaps I’ll simplify it a bit so you can personalize it yourself!

Of course, you’ll have to dress it up with Pamela’s cute felt!! Go grab these Grab Bags!!

I’ll be back tomorrow with my own Grab Bag reveal and some wonderful papercraft inspiration!

    I totally love Pamela’s kit. For some reason I can’t find the grab bag on the digichick site. Any suggestions?

    DH and I have been talking about how we need to do chore charts for our kids, so I would definitely download one that you post. Do you know of any good resources for ideas/lists of implementing age appropriate chores? Our kids do help now, but most of what they do right now is what we consider their responsibilities as members of the family. So we’re trying to figure out what is expected, what would be age appropriate “above and beyond” chores, and how an allowance might fit into all of that. And how much of an allowance.
