Mon amie from denver was showing off her new purse her friend made out of a cigar box. I was superenvious, that is, until she told me it cost her $100... A HUNDRED BUCKS!!! thats insane... apparently the "handle was expensive." what. the. fuck.

am i aloud to curse on a post? hmmmmmm...

anyway, for all you crafty girls out there, this was supercute, i have to give her that. she lined the inside with leopard-print fabric and the outside she... what's it called?... i dunno, covered it with pictures of vintage pin up girls... DECOUPAGE! thats it...i think.
right well, totally cool, but hell-no worth $100.
funfun
think of the endless possiblities!
go.play.create.
AND DON'T OVER-CHARGE!

hmmm, as i look around a little more, it appears my topic is a bit passe... i don't think i even spelled "decoupage" right...how humiliating, and i thought i was being so hip. oh well, i'll try again... some day...

*sigh*

hey, don't be sad! i think that sounds really cool. i might even try to make one myself. what did she make the handle out of anyways, that was so expensive?
