New Position

I am so happy now that I got the Professional Development/Attorney Recruiting Coordinator position. I wanted it so much and I am so happy that I spoke to K and she told me to apply. It was such a good idea and I'm so happy that I followed through with it. It could not be more perfect for me. I am so happy with the change and my new positon. It's such a great move for me! Thank you!

Freebies!

Thank you for all the free things that I have been getting in the mail. It's so much fun to come home to a package and know that I got it for free! I am so thankful that my mom sold the business and she is going to be so much happier and I am so happy for her. I am going to visit her soon! Thank you for the excellent airplane ticket deal that I got! Thank you! I am so happy for that.

She's Crafty



I am so thankful that I have rediscovered one of my passions. Crafting, sewing, painting, anything creative. Thanks to Threadbangers.com, a great DIY site, I have tons of inspiration. On that site I found out how to fuse plastic bags together to make a material that is super easy to sew. So far I have made a couple of bags out of the plastic bags! Here are some pictures. One is a test bag, its really small, good to carry shoes in to and from work. And another big one that can fit a bunch of stuff, but unfortuch I already ripped a hole in it from over stuffing it. I have to patch that up.


Here is the big and small bag together:
Here is the first bag I made, it's small.

Here is the big bag. I thought my saying was super clever and my response to those overpriced canvas bags that say "I'm not a plastic bag" :

Close up of the front of the bag:
And the back of the big bag:


I am also in the process of making a big bag with cute pleats in it to make it puffy that I used a big letter "A" from a gap bag, right on the front that I am going to give my mom. I just have to make handles for that and I will post pictures of those also.

So Thank YOU THREADBANGERS.com . It's such a wonderful site I love it. I am also trying to make a vest from a vest tutorial. I'll post pictures soon of that also. I need to sew on the buttons.

I am so happy

now that my insurance company was able to go back and pull the call from November when I verified my benefits. There was a misunderstanding, but now I am so happy that they figured it out and provided me the coverage that they originally told me. Thank you. I am so happy now that they mailed me a check for the coverage of 75%, which is what they told me. Thank you!
