So Sweet!

One of my co-workers was sweet enough to make me this really cool purse. She had made a couple for a charitable giving auction we had at work before Halloween and I spent an inordinate amount of time talking to her about how cool they were and how I was going to bid on one for the auction. I thought they were great and talked them up to everyone I saw. I helped her pick which cover should go with which bag and everything.

I was SO disappointed when I didn't get to go to the auction (Greg was in the hospital and all) and my proxy bid (thanks, Char) didn't win.

So today when I went back to work, she presented me with one of my very own. Wasn't that sweet? I was so surprised and so very touched that she thought of me. She knew it had been a rough week so she and another co-worker came up with the idea to make me one.

So I put it on my desk when I got home tonight and went to get my other purse to transfer the stuff over and look what I found when I returned:






Apparently, Cleo thinks it's a really great purse, too. I can't decide if Elizabeth will think this is funny or be insulted that I "let" my cat lay in it. But really, she was already in it, it already had cat hair on it, why not let her stay? Besides, if I turfed her out, she'd just get in it again when I turned my back.

I will try and post some pictures of my really cool bag at some point when there is not a cat in it.

Oh, and please notice in the background of these pictures the black EMPTY cat bed behind her.
