It's Bag Time!
There are two of my pretty bags. I don't like ebay. I don't trust them. Sara offered to list them for me on her account but I figured I'd give you guys first shot. Here's my two favorites. The pictures are kinda dark but I think you can see well enough when you view larger. They're about the size of a standard purse. I use the first one I made as a makeup bag (and I have a LOT of makeup), and I end up throwing bottles of contact wash and toothpaste and all sorts of stuff in. They hold a lot.
So here's the plan, Stan. $25. These are just two bags. I can do custom, and I can make more of the police or roses or whatever the hell you want assuming I can find it. The police I know I can get more of. I can do velcro, I can do buttons, I can make more pockets, shorter straps, whatever. Now, I will take my cost and the rest goes to charity but there's two ways of doing this. I can donate to a charity of your choice, or I can keep that cash until I get to $100 worth of donations and put them all into one charity. The Breast Cancer Foundation keeps popping into my head. You ask, I shall do.
Sara's mom is having some major health problems and she lost her job. She wants to really start a business she can do from home, sitting down. Like sewing. I would like to help her as much as possible. This is a wonderful lady who deserves more than life has allowed her. She has no health insurance, no state aid, nothing.
I have a great job and so does my husband. We aren't hurting, but it pains me to see someone who was like a mother to me, even in my crazy teenage years when my own mom was about to give up on me, suffer this way. If there is the demand, I would like to give some of your requests to her to make herself. Master sewer that she is. The money wouldn't go to a traditional charity, but you would be putting food in a sick lady's mouth when she so desperately needs it.
If you want these, let me know. We'll work out a Paypal payment or something. Just shoot me an email. First come first serve. I have these two, but I have enough material to make 2 more of the police bags and I can get more of the rose stuff. They have firefighter stuff. I think I have some laying around somewhere. There's teacher stuff, animals, flowers, whales, sharks, whatever you want if you want custom. Just ask. I'm sure I can find it.
Thank you guys, for being supportive in my little journey to sanity. I really like doing this.

I miss you, Crimefighter!
Thanks for showing us what a classy and remarkable woman should be. Take a minute to find my friend Rob up there. I feel much better about the world knowing you guys have our backs.
Damn, this just sucks. -
I linked here from Mrs. L, and she's right, about what a funny, bright, brave, decent lady she was. I am so sorry for your loss.

I've read everyone of these entries and wondered why she never came back on to just check in. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I just wanted to tell you how terribly sorry I am for your terrible loss. She was a gutsy, brave, funny woman, and the world was a much better place because of her presence in it.
Hugs to you and all those who loved her,

I'm the artist in Oakland, Calif. who sent a huge box of tie materials to your friend Sara about a year ago. I have a question or two...
1. Did it arrive?
2. Did she use them?
Love to know!
And I miss your blog, far away friend.
