The suggestion was earth tones for this bag - Kelsey is outdoorsy. I have a fondness for bubble letters and they are a nice, casual choice for fonts/lettering. I drew her name out using earth tones and then thought a carabiner with a key to our store would be really fun and also sweet. The leaves on the bottom are something I don’t normally do, but I got distracted and got a pen mark on that part of the bag, so I had to cover it up. I don’t consider that a mistake per se. I consider it more of a side quest, or a detour, or a special addition on the bag.
