A dear friend of mine celebrated a birthday recently, and I've been on the edge of my seat waiting to be able to share this project with you!
She's a blog reader ::wave hi to Manetta:: and I didn't want to spoil the surprise by posting the bag here before she received the package.
Yay!! She got the bag -- now I can share!!
I am just *tickled* with how this bag turned out! Manetta loves world travel, and I was beside myself when I found this GREAT collage fabric with all things "London" -- very whimsy, very cheerful, very Manetta!
Happy Birthday, Birthday Girl Manetta!
Hey, you think I should think about stamping on something, sometime soon?!
Oh!! I received an email from my local s*crap shop today -- they received their new Basic Grey order today. And lots of new stamps are coming in tomorrow!! New CHA products are arriving daily! HOW EXCITING!!
I think I'll have to take a "lunch break" tomorrow. 
Love it, Love it!!

Ladies, this bag is SPECTACULAR!!! Anna did a marvelous job and I do feel VERY special to have received it! I put it into instant use in part to keep my mother from nabbing it! :-) And every time I look at it, I think of my visit to London and what fun I had. I love the little black ball fringe -- very fun and unique! THANK YOU! Thank you! THANK you! to Anna! And thanks to all of you for the birthday wishes! The start of a new year! Manetta

Isn't it wonderful when something comes together so perfectly? I love this bag. Happy Birthday Manetta.
Since you think you should stamp something how about fabric? I'm in tune with all that you post so it doesn't matter what it is...all of your hobbies speak to me! TFS

Another beautiful bag!! You are so talented! Sure wish you'd put some of your bags for sale on your ebay store with a "buy it now" price so some of us "impatient" shoppers don't have to wait 3 days to see if we win or not! LOL!
