we went to the mall yesterday & Kohl's too...parking was nuts, took over 15 minutes to find a spot, felt like Xmas! did get a good score at Kohls...had a $10.00, $5.00 rewards and 30% off, got two xmas gifts for 64 cents!!!
enjoy seeing your family today!
Pluto is cute..love the collar details on the MH & wallet
Thank you! Yes - I couldn't believe how crazy Kohls was - even when we drove up, the parking lot was FULL.

I didn't have any of my coupons with - shame on me - but the lady at the register had an extra 15% and let me use it.
I don't know how id ever just pick one bag! They are all great! Enjoy your day!
LOL - thank you Ruth!
Hey there...been a while but I'm all caught up again. I try to read your email updates when they come through but I just rarely get onto a real computer to do any posting these days. I have a rare few hours today to do just that.
So sorry to read about what was happening at your daughter's school but I think you handled it perfectly. Glad she's all caught up and ready to go back and hopefully the situation there will be better. It was good to hear the staff at the school was responsive and understanding as well.
As always, love looking at all of your cute bags!
Your day away sounds nice and the shopping trip sounds like a good escape for everybody. Hope the meeting with your foster mom goes well too!
Take care and I'll try to be here a little more often now that my own trip is just ELEVEN DAYS AWAY!
Hey - it has been a while! I can't believe your trip is so close!
Thank you - Allison goes back to school today... I hope she has a good day.
This weekends on the DIS is working out for me. I am able to keep up with all your posts. Pluto is so cute. Love the wallet too.
Sounds like a fun day yesterday and more fun today. Have fun shopping and good luck finding a gift for Josh's brother, that sounds a bit tricky.
Can't wait to see Vs next bag that can fit a poncho and flip flops. Wonder what the security guy at WDW thinks when he looks in her bag. LOL
Thanks - nope, didn't find a gift for Josh's brother.

I hope we find one soon.
ROFL... Yah - the messenger is what she loves to carry in the parks - it fits her flip flops and poncho.

The security guy probably thinks she is prepared.
D,
When it comes time for me, I may be interested in the DSLR UPB type creation whatever it is you come up with, if you have done it by then.
I love all the new bags! so tempting. I am not normally a Goofy lover but that bag is my fave!
Glad to hear Alli is doing so well.
I love the idea of a daisy bag, what about some princess lanyards and accessories?
I like someones suggestion of the villains...
I'd also be interested in an AG outfit, tho I think you are done with those.
Sounds good Erin.

I love that Goofy bag too - it just turned out great! I am not sure about the princesses? They just seem so 'girly' to me - and since these are adult bags, how many adults would carry a princess bag? I only say that because I have never even had one ordered in the past or upcoming, so it just makes me wonder?
The Villians would be fun... I will be working on my first Villian bag this week - and I am super excited about the fabric for it!
I am not done with the AG outfits - it's just that no one has ordered one in a very long time. I am considering doing one for my December auction, as a change of pace?
First I want to say, dumb MOA
Disney Store! Why does it lack so much merchandise such as our soft Eeyore?!
It sounds like you were in my stomping grounds of Apple Valley yesterday, am I right? Sounds like you had a great day.
I know... When I walked past there yesterday, I didn't even go in. I wish they would bring back their warm fuzzy adult sweaters/sweatshirts and jammies.

And, yes, I was in Apple Valley - it is very close for me to go there (well, closer than anywhere else)... Too funny that you figured that out.
D I may need a new kind of bag when my next spot comes up
We are in conserve fuel mode and so I need to go Joann's but can't use the gas for that. So I will be placing an online order.
I know my problems are small compared to so many others.
LOL What kid of bag were you thinking? I hope you're not changing your UPB - I know you would love one.
I am sorry that you all are having to conserve so much. Are you doing OK?
You have very valid problems - (((Hugs)))
I love your new series of bags. It must be fun choosing the fabrics for the linings. Every once in a while after looking at your appliqués I try it on my easy bake sewing machine, but they never turn out. Im sure its the machine and not me!!!
Looks like I won't be moving in next to you. My senior son will be moving to LA in the summer so you'll no longer be half way.
I can't wait to see your Justin Bieber UPB. (I think that's what you said you're working on next. I've been doing more skimming lately than studying, but I think that's what I remember.)
LOL Cheryl - thanks for stopping by. That is such a shame that you won't be moving in next door - I was looking forward to it. I had a few tasks for you to complete for me.
EEk! I love Pluto! I may have to block you from my FB feed so a certain little blond boy does not see! He has become pluto obsessed lol.
Thanks Callie! LOL
Still love my Pluto bag better!
I just had to quote it again, because I love it!
Now I can't decide which UPB I liked better!!! I loved how they all turned out and really love the Mickey one seeing as how he's always been a favorite of mine!!
Great news on that things are hopefully getting back to normal at school and that Alli will be able to return next week.
I just had to say what is wrong with kids in school now. I had a bunch of local friends posting on FB on Thursday that a high school in my home town was going to have problems. I don't know what the problems were but come to find out they ended up locking down the school on Thursday for about 3 hours and they did find a gun!!!! Thank goodness nothing ended up happening and a few of my friends kept their kids home from school and the cops had been called by numerous parent's Wednesday night so there was a lot of police present at the school. Just all about a scary situation for any family to have to go through!!
Thanks Sandra! What a sad story about the high school in your ome town... What is goign on??? It makes no sense. Sending prayers your way.
******************************************
Alli is going back to school today... Prayers for a wonderful first day back would be greatly appreciated.
We had a wonderful day at the MOA yesterday. We got there just at opening and got a good parking spot - which, if anyone has ever been to the MOA, that's important.
We met up with my foster parents... They also had their neice with and her girls with. She is a few years younger than I am, and her and her siblings used to spend weekends with us when their parents drilled - good times.

Her girls are close to my girls in age, and even though they don't see eachother often - they always manage to get along like old friends. So we had a great time. We all went to Rainforest Cafe for lunch.
Unfortunately - we only found one gift out of the many we needed - and nothing for Uncle Brian yet...

I just dunno what we are going to get for him - we are running out of time.
I am starting my next custom order today - it is a Villian, and I am very excited about it... I purchased some awesome fabrics for this bag and I am very excited to use them!
I will be posting another bag today - it is my custom order from last week. So, keep your eyes open for that.
I hope you all have a wonderful day!
