Welcome to the Music is Life Blog Hop
We sang our ABC's as children loud and off key!
We rocked out in our bedrooms with our friends to our favorite tunes.
We slow danced awkwardly to that memorable ballet with the boy we crushed on. We walked down the isle in to the wedding march as we married the man of our dreams. We sang a sweet lullaby to our babies as we rocked them to sleep. We sing our favorite songs as we drive the kids to school, annoying them the whole way! Yes, music is Life! It's everywhere in our lives!
Join us as we celebrate the wonderful Life of Music!!

Here is a look at the back of the bag:
The playful and vintage inspired paper from Rusty pickle is perfect to add some musical fun to this elegant bag.
Here is a peak to the original bag and some of the materials and tools I used:
