Torn

I need three more of me.

There are so many things that I know I should/could be doing to help my friends.

I would like to do new art. I would like to do more promotion of the blog...the more folks who check out the bags/art... The better our chances of finding the person whilo must have one of the items...

But life does get in the way, doesn't it. I am overwhelmed by freelance and just everything. I'd like to design a shirt to sell for them. (have offer of someone who can help with the printing). I have a friend who has offered to let me do an Avon fundraiser at cost. But I don't have the time. Sigh. I am frazzling.

I have a really cute apron photo I need to get on here too... Freelance first. I wish you all the best this evening and pray for good weather

More bags available!

I have these bags in my possession (meaning they are in Conway if some of my Conwaynians want to donate/buy a bag, I can deliver!)

You will not find bags like these in stores-and especially not for only $8. (If we have to mail the bags, we ask for $9, a little extra for shipping)

The sizes of the bags do vary, but check this one out

^This bag size easily carries 3 2-liter bottles with space for more (just to give you an idea of how spacious it is) Even with the three bottles in there, I could carry it easily and the straps did not dig in and 'burn' my arms.  Now I know, you probably won't lug around 3 bottles of soda... but the point is... YOU CAN! You won't get that sturdiness from those cheapy canvas shopping bags you can pick up in the check out line.

NEXT
  I LOVE  this retro bag.

Didn't someone in your family have this print on something when you were growing up? It's awesome vintage fun!  This bag is the same height as the Purple/Star bag above, although it is slightly narrower. It fits two 2-liters with room to spare.

Retro... different decade! 80s

I love that Rachel lines most of her bags and I love that the interior pattern on this is checked. It is so 80s retro-fab to me. If you guys don't help out and buy these bags, I'll go broke because I'll buy them all for myself!

In Rachel's Words

Rachel has posted a new blog and in it, she talks about this endeavor.

I encourage you all to read her words.


Excerpt follows:

"Living the simple life isn’t all that simple sometimes.  Society gets in the way.  Our personal feelings get in the way.  Gosh, Life gets in the way!  Who would have thought that simply LIVING could get in the way of leading a simple life?

Here’s our story.

For those of you who follow this blog, you know that on April 9, 2009 our hometown was hit by a F-3 tornado.  Our home was destroyed and we lost 90% of what we had.  So many things happened that night that have had such long reaching effects that it’s mind-boggling.  We have tried twice to start over and failed both times..we are now looking at starting over again..

This is not a pity trip or a plea for handouts..I don’t do that..It’s a simple statement of fact and a harsh reality of the world we live in.

We bought the house next door to our original house, remodeled, repaired, tried to make it our new home..but sadly..hard as we tried, our heart was still with our cozy little house that we had lost…our oldest learned to walk there, our youngest was raised up there..it was the only home they had known..it was a HOME..tiny, cramped and our HOME..not just a house, but a Home..we were happy there..

The new house is bigger, nicer, lots more room, features I had always dreamed about..but still ..it was the neighbors house..to this day, it still doesn’t feel like home…"
