Handmade Purse Sale! Woohoo!

I want to thank Alyson for being our first purse buyer!! Watch her adoption story at her blog!

The pictures just don't do them justice, I hope you'll love it more once you receive it :) (here's the one she is getting, there are 2 more, made with this fabric, left):






My sister has been working her butt off, here are some of the other really adorable purses she's made:







AND she told me tonight she has bigger ones cut out and on the way! (I'm already carrying my new kitty cat purse - it is sooo cute, it looks like it has my cat, Bailey, all over it! sorry everyone, but i had to have it! there was only enough fabric to do one purse....i'll post a picture of mine tomorrow (if i remember lol)....

good night

Baby Niece Update

Well we're still waiting patiently to find out when we will be able to travel and pick up my Sis's baby girl! She is adopting and until she started this I had absolutely no idea the paperwork and red tape one has to go through in order to adopt a child. Over on the right I have a link to her blog TripToChina. She has broken it all down & boy is that interesting too...I can see how easy it is to just assume that all the money involved goes straight to one place, but that isn't the case at all.

So, we are working together to try and earn enough money to cover the travel costs. She is making purses to sell and I am in charge of selling them. Well thank goodness they are adorable! (wink, wink, that really goes without saying) And can be seen at hobbyhungry or if you want to you can help by




Toward Adoption! No Amount is to small! Thanks for Helping! It would be great if she could relax a little bit about this adoption :) ...it will also be great if I can go on the trip with her :D

I CAN'T WAIT! (auntie minnie is going to spoil her rotten ;) ok, maybe not rotten - but it should be close to it) and maybe when she gets here my son will leave me alone about a baby brother or sister for a little while :D
