BEFORE

Inspired by re-reading the Fabulous Las Vegas trip report (Jan/Feb 2006), wherein I held a genuine Judith Leiber handbag in my very own hands, I am embarking on a new crafty adventure. This is the "before" pic. You will have to wait for the "after" pic.

If you would like to guess what I'm going to do to this poor thing, first you must guess what it is. Then you have to surmise the torture in store for it, knowing only that the reason I haven't already started on the clever endeavor is that I can't find my [expletives deleted] reading glasses, which I will need, because I can't even SEE the eye of the tiniest beading needle that I own.

I'm considering writing something upon it, too. Please vote for your favorite bon mots:

1. "Really Trashy At Heart"

2. "Own The Bombness"

3. "I [heart] My Prius"

4. "Out of Your League"

Votes may be registered in the comments section or in my email, which you can find in my profile, as always, because I suck at being anonymous. Oh, hey, that might be another possibility...

5. "Can't Be Nameless"

Insert the usual disclaimers here. Probably not legal in parts of Utah. Blah blah blah, et cetera. Gotta go find my blankety-blank glasses!
