If you read this blog on a regular basis -- you know I try to make every single day something special.
Hey -- why not??
Monday is? That's right...my Carrie day. The house gets cleaned while I walk on my treadmill. Perfect.
Tuesday is what? That's right....my book/breakfast club. Yeah, yeah, yeah -- we're doing more eating than reading the last coupla years.
 |
| We enjoy having guests...Mary always comes during her December visit... |
But whether we're reading or eating -- we OFTEN have a little "Sew And Tell"...
 |
| Linda P. saw a very expensive jeans purse at a boutique in Arizona...and thought I CAN MAKE THAT! |
 |
| Starting with an old pair of blue jeans... |
 |
| She personalized the inside ofr her bag with specific pockets for her "stuff" |
 |
| There was no cost to the old jeans, and she cleverly bought a $2 purse at the Goodwill store to get the handles. |
However -- that's when her luck ran out.....I think the charm was $14, and I'm pretty sure the irresistable belt was $20.... But, of course -- the satisfaction of CREATING IT HERSELF -- 'PRICELESS"....!!
My 4-H kids have made those purses! In fact, one of them made a bunch one holiday season and sold them - made herself a tidy sum of money :-)
