Here's a better look at my new bag that was hand-embroidered by my friend Beth. That's a lot of fancy stitching right there! (There was a small preview of it on Day 58.) The bag itself is a map bag from a military surplus store. Inside is an additional white bag with a cat pin on it for quick, small purse needs. Thank you, Beth!
You can see more of Beth's crafty creations on her Etsy store.

Project 365: Video Edition - Good Reads
Here's a sampling of the some of the great books I've read while working out at the gym. Not every book is good for while you're sweating it out on the elliptical. :oops:
For Heaven's sake...I am SO behind on my Project 365 posts. I will be backposting here someday soon so I don't get TOO overwhelmed. In the meantime, the April 2010 CleanPlace Vlogging Project started today. It also counts for my Project 365 vlog of the day.
EDIT: Photo of the day added to the bottom of this post.
Project 365: Video Edition - 3rd Vlogging Project #1
If you aren't familiar, this is a video project that is done by the teen writers on my young writers forum, CleanPlace. We did two other projects like this in 2009, one in April and one in June.
Project 365: Photo Edition - Forgiven
At our church's Good Friday service, people had the opportunity to nail to a cross pieces of paper with their names or sins written on them. On Sunday morning, we were surprised to find it on the stage with white pieces of paper nailed over them with the word "Forgiven" printed on it. Powerful.
My friend Annie and I were trying to come up with a name for the nasty piles of dirty snow that is leftover after all the other snow has melted. I think "skrow" should be the name--black as a crow, not quite snow.

The music really makes this one work as an ominous, magical scene.
