Monogrammed Tote Bag

I am not 100% happy w/the results, but I will take them for the first try....  I know I would've liked it better had I used a white or lighter bag, but I wanted to try the black for shits and giggles.....

6 Year Anniversary for Katrina....

It's so surreal to me that I am sitting home today listening to the news and hearing about the devastation of Irene on the 6 year anniversary of hurricane Katrina.  I still remember August 29, 2005 like it was yesterday.  It will forever be a memory deep in my heart and the hearts of my children.  God bless the people going through Irene.
