ok yeah ponine, i could totally sell CM things too if i wanted cuz i know it all so well lol. one of my lead consultants i go thru was telling me they have a deal going on right now where you get the starter pack for $119 instead of the $195 and im seriously thinking i could use the extra moolah!

i have about 10...maybe more.. scrapbook projects going on. i scrap all over the place...i find pics i scrap em lol. im so behind on developing/printing pics tho...ive been lazy! i go thru monthes where i do nothing BUT scrap in my free time but than i get unmotivated and stop for awhile...but it doesnt stop me from buying more n more stuff lol.

currently i dont even know where my knitting and crocheting stuff is...somewhere hiding in my room.

i got my own sewing machine for christmas and ive been making purses. well.. so far only 2 but one is in the fabric cutting stage. im making it for my friend's birthday present...hopefully it turns out decent. i might have to make 2 so i can have one hehe. do any of you make purses? do you ever put "piping" around the edges? im not sure how to go about that. i want to try that. lol.

I don't know if I've ever put piping on a purse - yep - I have, hot pink satin to go with the outfit I made for a Christmas party. Piping, in general, can be a bit of a pain. If you can get away (color wise) with pre-made piping, that will help a lot! Use a zipper foot to put it on. And if you make your own (it's not that hard, but much easier to buy) - make sure you cut the fabric out on the bias (diagonal)!
