Owning a cindygert of your own.............priceless. (Sorry I could not resist!!!)

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. I had to leave my in-laws early to come home and make more bags. This is a good 'problem' to have, not leaving the in-laws but having to make more bags. This is sort of like Dunkin' Donuts.........."time to make the donuts".......except insert bags for me.

What do you think of the Butterfly? It is my newest applique. The bag has a pocket on the front. I really like it. Comments are always welcome.

These ones went to SoBo Style on Friday.........they are already gone except for one.

This one.......Pastel Persuasion.....$115.00 I love it. It is such a happy bag. If you want it, let me know and I can get it for you.
Gone baby gone.

Ditto.

Ditto on the ditto.

Yep. This one too.........gone. Thanks to all the ladies who purchased these bags.

These ones are going tomorrow. I am 'purse'onally going to deliver them. I wanted the number to be 10 but it is only 7.
LOVE this bag. I wanna keep it...........................$115

Close up of the cutey patutey owl.

These teal/robins egg blue flowers with the purple buttons are so cute......$95.00

Another Bird on a Limb. This one could be used for a computer travel bag, baby/diaper bag, or maybe even an overnighter...............$125.00

Red with gray flower.............$115.00

Black with cream flowers. I will try to get an interior picture. The fabric in this bag is delicious. It is a very upscale upholstery fabric from Robert Allen............$115.00

Cream and tan. This will match everything. It is quite large too...........$115.00

I am trying things other than flowers and birds....any suggestions? What would you like on your bag? (you have to say it like, "what do you want on your tombstone?"...)

Gray with blue flower. I love this bag. It is the perfect size and the belt on this one is wonderfully worn................$115.00

Close up of the flower. Pictures do not do these bags justice I will tell you. Maybe it is the picture taker. When Kristy takes the pictures they look great.

If only I could work faster. I just got my tree up today with my family. I have been working so hard everything else has been put on the back burner. Merry Christmas if I don't blog again for a while. I will be traveling to Columbus tomorrow and then Christmas will be here. I will try to make more bags. Stay tuned.

What do you do when UPS doesn't get your shipment there on time? You stay up all night making more bags and then talk your husband into delivering them to the store. Here are 4 more bags for SoBo Style. If you see this and are wanting a bag, you better get there quick because today alone she has sold 6 bags already. Wowser!!! I think she may have 10 left. I will be making more bags soon. But to tell the truth.......I'm tired today. So, I will tidy my house a bit and go to bed early and possibly make more bags tomorrow......but definitely not 4. That is too many in one day for me.

Last week we went to the beach for Thanksgiving. My parents live close by. Owen found a starfish. Honestly, it is the first time I have ever seen one on the Atlantic side and I have been going there for almost 30 years.

Anywho...we were all super excited.


















This was our first ride at Disney World. It is at the Animal Kingdom....the dinosaur ride. This ride just about ruined our whole trip. Owen was so scared that he would not ride any other rides for fear of being scared out of his wits again.


















Here we are meeting Mike Wizouski, I know I spelled that wrong but I don't want to look up the correct spelling. This is what I look like when I have been woken up at 6:30 am to wait 45 minutes for a bus....not pretty!!!


















Here we are meeting Goofy and Pluto. Owen got a Baby Pluto and wanted to share it with Big Pluto. They do not call this the best place on earth for no reason. That was a special moment for all of us.

I love Disney World!!! We will be back in about 5 years.


















This will probably be our Christmas Photo. This night was truly magical. We were in the Magic Kingdom and they had the castle all lit up with "Fairy" dust...aka lights. They had the parade in lights...truly amazing. We were standing directly under Tinkerbell when she flew down from the castle. And yes to all who wonder it is a real person. We saw her very clearly. Maybe a little later I will show you all the hats that we tried on. That was fun. That way we did not have to buy them all....but we could still see the memory in photo.

Numbers 206, and 207 are going to SoBo Style on the brown truck today as I write this actually. Along with a few others, these will feel right at home in the store. Listen up people in Columbus Oh. On Saturday there will be an add on 101.3 for SoBo Style and she is featuring my bags on the add. Rolly shnikies. I am so excited. I wish I could hear it. Imagine that, 100,000 people hearing about my bags.......I could not be more pumped!!!

Unfortunately would you believe that I have another stinkin' cold? I feel horrible. Trying to get my 80 bags done has been nearly impossible to do. I have 71 more to go. I will be glad to get 40 done. In comes the muck and out goes the will to do........anything, especially be creative and clean up the purse mess to start another one. I need a helper!!!! (Can you hear me whining?) Before you say "I will!!!" I should show you a picture of my mess........be ware!!!

$135

$115

2 more bags done before I left for Disney. I literally got these done 20 minutes before I left. I ran out of ink to make the books. I sent them to SoBo and they are already sold. Yippee!!!
