I made a custom bag for my niece for back to school. I'm really proud of how it turned out.
(The yard is crooked, not the bag.)
My new favorite song is Lady Antebellum's Can't Take my Eyes Off of You. Here is a Youtube video of it- please note this is not actually the video, but it does play the song. You should go listen to it now.
You know how at McDonald's they have those boxes for the Ronald McDonald House at the drive up? I ALWAYS put my change in those. But other restaurants want me to pay like $1 for a little shoe for March of Dimes or something and I always refuse. Wouldn't you think that they'd make a lot more if they did the change thing? Surely someone has done a study on that.

My best friend Gina has decided to take her blog in a new direction. She's the master of finding a good deal and she's going to start showing us how. I've been listening to her save money for months and now you should too.
Raych needs help remembering her current events. Go help her.
My cold seems to be getting better, finally. This is good because we are camping tomorrow. This campground has a playground so the boys can burn off steam before bed.
Garden update: More zucchini! Two real tomatoes in addition to a couple handfuls of grape tomatoes. One cucumber ready to be picked! More chard. The brussel sprouts are pea sized.
What's on tap for your weekend? Camping? Reading? One last hurrah before school?
I really enjoyed your random Friday. :-) Very cool bag for your niece. I know my daughter would love one. Too bad she'll be carrying last year's bag again for another year.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is fantastic! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe bag is darling - I'm sure your niece will really enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteWow! You really did a nice job with that bag. I would love one myself!
ReplyDeleteOkay, you need to add those to your Etsy store because I totally WANT ONE. That is SO CUTE.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is SO impressive. Wow, you are amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is way cool.
ReplyDeleteI love the name of your friend's blog.
I'm glad you are starting to feel better. I have nothing planned for the weekend. It's a glorious thing!
I know I will be reading. Probably my book club book as I am always behind with it and it's my pick this month.
Kids are already in school and working on projects so I may have to assist with those but I hope to be lazy.
What an awesome aunt you are! :)
ReplyDeleteThe bag turned out great Lisa! You are such a little worrier. :) I'm sorry I haven't emailed you back yet--the past few days have been ick. Gonna go curl up on the sofa with my book. Love when Scott leaves for out of town and doesn't tell me until I'm 5 minutes from home so it's too late to make plans! He'll be back by tonight, but still. Grrrr.
ReplyDeleteGrassy-ass for the link and the bag is AWESOME and I love grape-tomatoes, which this toddler-baby in my toddler-baby-daycare used to refer to simply as 'grapes' and which, consequently, we all do now too.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is too cute. Your niece is a lucky duck!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is really cute! What a lucky niece. I went camping last weekend. Enjoyed myself and am actually looking for an excuse to go again in the near future. Which honestly surprises me.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute bag! My daughter would love it too! I hope you all had a fun weekend camping!
ReplyDeleteyou should be proud - the bag is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is awesome!! I wish I had just a little bit of your talent. I'd love to be able to make one like that for myself!!
ReplyDeleteI can not believe this summer is over. The kids start back to school tomorrow (Monday). I can not belive how fast this summer went!
Sorry about your cold. I hate colds. I think your boys are so cute. I remember going camping with our boys. I have four grown men now.:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bag.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is so great! Hope camping was fun and you are feeling 100% better now!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the nice words about the bag! Reports are she loves it, today is the first day of school so we'll see how it held up.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bag, love the colours. I'd love to carry my crap around in that.
