Fundraising continues

We had a pretty successful fundraising event with the Purse Party. I sold 7 purses so far and have a few left. If you're interested, let me know.

This is one of my favorite purses, and unfortunately it's hard to see. The artist who donated it also makes purses for the Hollywood crowd, and was recently commissioned to do a purse for the Bill Engvall show. The minimum price on this is $150.

















This is another great little purse. Lot's of fun colors. It to was donated. Starting price $50.





















This is another fun purse. Crazy enough for the weekend, but still nice enough for work, with a little extra flare. This one starts at $75.

080808 - Let the games begin...

I'm such a huge fan of the Olympics! And having just completed my USA Track & Field Coach certification, I'm going to be a real pain. I'm sure to annoy the heck out of everyone with my editorializing! Can't wait.

Ken and I went to the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and had a blast. The great thing about being there in person is that you really see (or are reminded of) what the Olympics are really about. We stayed through all 51 men's ice skaters (bet you didn't know there were that many there). That's because on tv, we only see the top 15 or so. And everyone cheered for everyone, regardless of which country they were from.

I have 2 knitting projects I'm working on during the Olympics. One is a scarf that I should be able to get through pretty quickly. The other is a felted computer bag.

Go USA, Canada, Mexico, Estonia, Argentina, Iceland, Germany, France, Denmark and the other 70+ countries being represented.
