I'm going out on a limb here by assuming most of my readers are females. How many times a day do you feel like you are not appreciated...at home, at work, by your spouse, by your boss, by your kids, by your neighbors, by your friends and on and on? Before going any further let me tell you, "I appreciate you!!"

If Glenda the good witch would have put on an evil pair of shoes before she left for work in the morning, would she have flying monkeys too?? because I could really use some flying monkeys right now to go after a few folks and slap them around a little (lot).

I was crafty yesterday.

The scrapbooking tote bag is finished. I saw someone with a bag made with Tri Kappa Cross Key magazines and thought it would be a great project to try. It was more complicated than I thought...but it's done! Don't look too closely at the seams....yikes!

AND! I finished up the hard cover book album. The hook on the side is a D-ring hanger. Bill knew exactly what I was looking for....as I expected. The instructions for completing this album were in the Scrapbooks Etc magazine this month. It seemed like a cool project and it was relatively simple. Had dinner at Gino's East of Chicago tonight. The deep dish pizza is oh-so yummy. Definitely 4.0 stars...definitely.


whoop...gotta go...more mindless TV...Real Chance of Love 2!
