Bags For Zaza took a day breather this week and the bags, well most of them, posted this morning. There’s something for everyone… the career woman, the teenager, the traveler, the book worm, the chic shopper. I was the delinquent picture sender as I worked past midnight and went to bed mad at the bag. The flap was too long and went to the bottom edge of the front of the purse. It just didn’t look right and the length would be a bother when digging inside. After many futile attempts at tricky solutions, I gave up and hit the sack.
Fortunately, I awoke with visions of grandeur and a fringy idea. Here are the results of 7.5 hours of sleep:
For those new to MSJ, Bags for Zaza is an adoption fundraiser to help bring home our little girl from Colombia. We have requested a daughter between the ages of 3 and 7… and chances are really high that she will have black hair, like her daddy. BFZ was started by my sister-in-law, Jennie, who is also adopting a sibling group of three kids who happen to be the same ages as our three children. Incidentally, Jennie is also the one who bequeathed the name Zaza for our little girl. We hoped and prayed that we could raise $500 for this worthy cause. Well, we haven’t heard official tally numbers in a while (due to double staffing with our head seamstress and bookkeeper) but I believe it’s nearing $4,000! Woooo HOoooo!
A heartfelt thanks to bidders, sewers, auction junkies and YOU for going over, taking a looksie and telling ALL your friends about Bags for Zaza. www.BagsForZaza.blogspot.com.
