...it was so much fun & I was so excited that gals liked & bought my bags!  But I decided I had enough..life got busy & I hung up my putrse making....at least for awhile....

....a few years later another friend & I decided to share a table at that same craft show...but this time I didn't do purses...I did junk......

.....I added bits & do dads together & created junk.  I loved it & yes it sold...

...I stepped away from my sewing..crafting etc for a couple of years...life just gets crazy at times.....it wasn't till I make curtains for my daughters dorm room that I realized I missed being creative.....wait till you see whats next!
