Josey's #1 Fan!!!!!!!!!!

Today ROCKS!!!! Josey plays in her very first school sporting event as a 6th grader tonight. Volleyball season is here and I can't wait to see my girl serve that ball. We practiced for two straight weeks this summer on her overhand serve and she is awesome!! Her 8th grade friend, Brittney, told her that she's got one of the best serves on the team!! I couldn't have my Josey girl not know how to serve overhand...it's the competitive side of me coming out!!

Sooooooooo, being that I AM Josey's #1 fan, I had to have a special game day bag right? Remember when I went that little purse party a few weeks ago? This is my new bag. We'll pretend those zebra stripes are wildcat stripes okay? And our school colors are black and white so I think it's especially fun! I'll bring some snack, cash, lip gloss and my camera tonight, I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

But wait, I couldn't just leave the bag unadorned now could I? Oh no. We must have adornment on our wildcat bag. So I went to work this moring and made a soldered piece to tie onto my bag.
I stitched together two vintage like ribbons and tied my soldered piece onto my bag handle. I used that vintage jewel button to secure it on extra good by adding some stitches through the entire knot of the bow.
And for the soldering, I used a wavy edged copper tape from Simply Swank, a pawprint stamp, SU! letters, more of that checkered ribbon and some Marth Stewart glitter.
For the back side, I used a simple black and white polka dot. My bag is actually cream colored so I distressed all the edges with Ranger Distress ink.
So there you have it! I'm off to get things done around here so we can head out for the 5:30 game. Goooooooo Cats!!

By the way, the battery in my Trailblazer is DEADER than a door nail. (What is a door nail anyway?) I called Eric with specific instructions to bring home a new battery or whatever is needed and to FIX IT pronto. If my new bag and I have to ride to the ballgame in Eric's lowriding, Nissan Flintstone Mobile I will not be a happy #1 Fan. I swear my butt drags the highway in that thing! :)
