Target made some changes to their coupon policy.vYou can view and print off a copy of Target’s Coupon Policy HERE. The following seems to be new:

1. Limit of 4 identical coupons per household, per day (unless otherwise noted on coupon)
so in other words if your coupon has wording on it that limits you to using less, you cannot use 4

2. Returns of items purchased using Manufacturer coupons may receive coupon value returned in the form of a Target GiftCard. So for example, if you buy a Bottle of Pantene Shampoo for $3.49 and use a $1/1 Manufacturer’s Coupon on it and decide to return it. You may only get $2.49 refunded to you, and $1 will be put on a Target Gift Card. (Note- The value of a Target Coupon used is never refunded).

3. We reserve the right to accept, refuse or limit the use of any coupon.

4. We do not accept Canadian coupons in our US stores.

Thanks Totally Target!

I have been wanting a camera bag/purse for about a year now. I also bought foam and fabric a year ago but didn’t get any farther on the project. Finally, I decided to buy one last week, but when I went to check out, shipping bumped the price just over $100. While I was ready to pay the crazy price of $89, $102 just seemed a little steep!

So, I finally decided – why not, let’s see what I can do! And I’m glad I did – I love how my camera bag turned out!

My quick and easy way involving very little measuring and NO SEWING! That’s right, I used hot glue to “sew” the fabric. So, here’s the materials I started with:

(note: I used 1 inch foam, but it probably doesn’t need it to be quite that thick…however, I just wanted to make sure my camera would be extra safe!!)

I pretended like I was wrapping a present around the foam pieces and used hot glue to keep the fabric in place. I did one skinny long piece for the bottom of the purse, two long side pieces, two short side pieces, and one small middle piece.

I hot glued the long side pieces to the bottom pieces.

And I simply placed the short side pieces of foam on the sides of the piece. They stay in place just fine that way.

You can see I stuck a strip of velcro (soft side) on the middle of the long side sections. This is so I can adjust the middle piece – which has the hard velcro on the sides) to wherever I want. I could also add more of these if I ever saw the need for it, but for now I’m good.

And Ta-Da! Here’s my camera placed safely in its new camera bag/purse! She loves it and is wondering why it took me to long to make her such a nice home! If you have ever thought about making your own camera bag – stop thinking and just do it! And use hot glue if you are not a sewing person. Honestly, once it’s in the bag, you can’t tell!

Seriously, this took me about an hour while watching TV. I don’t know why I waited so long to do it – and am so glad I didn’t spend $102 on one! I’m so happy with how it turned out.

Here I am on vacation in California modeling my new camera bag!

And my sister was having fun snapping pictures…so here’s a couple more un-posed ones!
