Auntie Pea's Blog: { More Purses AGAIN }

Sorry to be so MIA on the blog here. Life has been hectic it seems and the blog for some reason gets put on the back burner. I think mostly because I feel bad posting only new purses here but that's been what I'm most busy with lately. I do still have that other exciting news to share and it's actually scrapping related. In fact it's gotten even more exciting since I first mentioned it but unfortunately I have to wait a bit to announce it yet.

I actually have quite a few new bags to post but my camera broke last weekend. I can't really even talk about it or I think I'll start crying. Had lunch with Manda & the girls at my favorite sandwich shop Saturday - no pictures. Spent Saturday night at her house & had Andrew & Celena overnight - no pictures. First Sunday lunch at mom's without it and missed a perfect shot of dad dancin' with headphones on with Kylie. Just kills me. :( First estimate I got was $312 which is ridiculous because I found the Rebel XT which is the newer version (although not the newest - have you heard?!) for $369 for just the body which is all I would need. Unfortunately I haven't sold enough handbags for $369 to seem like loose change. Kay, enough whining but I know if anyone would understand it's anyone who may still be checking on my blog.

Kay, so while I couldn't take any pictures (not that I don't have a bazillion to scrap already) I've been sewing like crazy. I also picked up some less stinky glassy stuff for the keyrings (thanks to Jenn - I owe ya an email but I've been wanting to try it out first and again...hectic life).

So here's a few that I had my brother Dino take pictures of at mom's for me yesterday. I swear every one I make is my new favorite. Loving picking out fabric combinations and seeing them all come together. I finally made my first ruffle purses and made 2 actuallin the camo and pink combo because I know someone's gonna snatch that up and I wanted one to carry myself. :) I'll hopefully be making another tonight and if I can get someone to take pictures I'll post them right away, I promise. These three are each available and I could part with each for $38. The first one is made with new Amy Butler fabrics (little pricier but LOVE 'EM!), the second has alot of detailing with some gorgeous matching ribbon that's sewn on securely and GREAT colors for this time of year and the third one with the ruffles is a lot more work to sew but so worth it. The strap is long enough to wear across the shoulder and it looks so cute. If I weren't wearing something that totally clashed yesterday I would've gotten a picture with it over my shoulder 'cuz it looks so much cuter that way. You'll have to take my word for it till I can get better pics. :) I'll be working on the site this week too. I've been meaning to set up 'buy it now' buttons through paypal and see that Kim got it figured out so I'm hoping to catch her soon & find out how 'easy' that is. :) If anyone is interested and has any questions about any of the bags listed you can leave a comment here or use the email link on the left.
