I GOT ANOTHER "W"

I love it! When I first discovered Heidi's monograms, I fell in love. I told her I wanted a backpack with a "W" or one that I could hang on my wall. As we weren't able to find a bag I liked, I opted to get the "W" for my wall, which I showed to you last month.

I loved it and decided to just hold tight on the backpack. Well, Heidi sent me a message saying that her supplier had just come out with a bag she thought I'd like. She was right and I placed my order. Here's what arrived in the mail today.

The front.

The back. Notice the handy dandy zippered area back there? Love it.

Now, I'm not one to spend money frivolously and I never pay full-price for anything. However, I always have a little stash of Christmas and birthday money that takes me forever to spend. I recently decided that I would use that money to splurge on handmade items for myself and not think about how I could buy something comparable at Target for a fraction of the price. I must say, that's really hard for me to do. Not the spending money on myself part, just the aspect of not spending the minimum possible on something I want. It goes against my nature in a huge way! However, I love the things I buy, my friends (or the strangers whose monogrammed magnets I may have to buy) earn some money, and it's money that was intended to play with in the first place. Everyone wins!
