Something New--- SETS

Checkbook Covers and Sunglass Cases

We have wanted to make "sets" of matching accessories since we started making so many wonderful and different items. So far a complete "set" includes a checkbook cover, a camera bag/make-up bag (whatever you want to use it for), a tissue holder, and an sunglass holder. I love matching things. The "problem" comes in when someone loves just one item,-- then the little "set" is missing a member of their family! But they are cute, and I'm having such fun with all the different fabrics. See what you think about our new "sets."

I've included pictures of some of the different items to show fabric and color choices.

"SETS!!"

ENTERING INTO A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I love a New Year. Everything seems fresh. To me it seems almost like a reverent time...a time to reflect on what happened last year, and a time to look forward with excitement to possible adventures, meeting new people, becoming a better person, enjoying and connecting with old friends. 2010 was supposed to be -by my definition-the "year of the purge"--meaning I was going to clean up, toss out, and reorganize. Not much of that happened, but I'm hopeful that I will do better in 2011. I have a hard time getting rid of "stuff". I might "need" that at some future point so I can't possibly get rid of it. I will do better this year. It actually feels so good to winnow out those things I don't use, don't need, don't want any more. It is a very freeing thing to give things away. I love when the American Kidney Fund calls. It becomes a good excuse to come up with a bag of things that can find a new home.

I'm so very grateful for my wonderful family and my amazing friends. They are all such good examples to me. And that is where I get my real joy--not from "stuff" but from my loved ones!!

Here is to a happy, healthy, peaceful, prosperous, and blessed New Year to one and all!!!!
