Your purses are wonderful, and I'll be there will be people fighting over them at the auction! Have you thought about having them guess the game/s? Then the winners could be in a draw for something, maybe one of your awards? At any rate, you figured out a terrific way to jumpstart your creativity. I so enjoy following your blog!Judy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591607125583963544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-76125631646818578132009-02-22T18:32:00.000-05:002009-02-22T18:32:00.000-05:00What a great looking bag-- your tag makes it spec...What a great looking bag-- your tag makes it special, and there's nothing like black and white to make colors pop.

So, I'm meeting with her for a couple of hours every other week to engage in art. I love this idea of making the worst into something better. What a good way to help her also. I'll find a way to challenge her to get out of her rut with that, I bet. Thanks for the lovely working through, for the rest of us to use also. Cute purse too. I love the cards!Mary Timmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610970753020969331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-87198654143004360082009-02-22T15:19:00.000-05:002009-02-22T15:19:00.000-05:00I love how you can take something that's not worki...I love how you can take something that's not working and turn it into something gorgeous!

I have only followed your blog for a few months, but every single day of your life is filled with some creatiave thing you have done!!! I think your purpose in life is to inspire others to extend themselves and think outside the box....to try new things. <BR/><BR/>I am so glad that I know you. I am not jealous of your talent, but in awe of it.<BR/><BR/>Regards, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-57828943227551606122009-02-21T20:37:00.000-05:002009-02-21T20:37:00.000-05:00I gasped when I saw the picture of the scissors cu...I gasped when I saw the picture of the scissors cutting the ribbon!<BR/>But it was great how things turned out.<BR/>I have such great memories of board games from childhood. I wonder which other ones you will feature in your series.<BR/>My all time very favorite was "Chutes and Ladders". The consequences were so dramatic for "bad behavior" in that game. (Carrying a huge and unwieldy stack of dishes resulting in breakage, bandages, and tears!) I can see how parents would have loved it......and could so relate.allie allerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158390991360498378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-74212508156109650292009-02-21T16:57:00.000-05:002009-02-21T16:57:00.000-05:00the bag is gorgeous. i love the dotty lining with ...the bag is gorgeous. i love the dotty lining with the houndstooth, mixed with the stripes. so flash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-58356725289058376502009-02-21T15:51:00.000-05:002009-02-21T15:51:00.000-05:00Love it, love it, love it!
