I got this in the mail. Isn’t it beautiful! My friend Karen from ChatBugKaren made it! I have been admiring her quilt work for eons.
I needed a new bag to carry my stuff to church and back. Now that I am in my mid 40’s, I figured it was time to retire my nylon backpack. :beanie:
I’d spotted a deal at the online Target on a nice messenger bag, but when I went to check it out locally, it was too large and ugly. I suddenly remembered Karen — maybe she would make me a bag? YES! She even let me pick out the material for my bag! And she added a pocket for a water bottle at no extra charge!
If you need a new bag (or quilt!), definitely check out Karen’s Etsy shop. I’m sure you’ll find something you like.
Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

Oh, that’s very cute!!
What are you dragging to church that required a backpack?

Lin- besides my huge, 3-inch study Bible (you know I am such a hog for information), I have my notebook, water, phone, little cosmetic bag and a change of clothes because I clean a few rooms after church. 🙂
