When I was back home in Marietta, I told you about meeting up with my dear friend, Debbie, and we had so much fun remembering all the creative fun we’ve had together over the years. Debbie has always been super fun to hang out with, but we never had enough time to do a lot of things together, since she was a full-time Drama teacher at a local Cobb County High School. I used to go over in the summer and hang out with her at her backyard pool, talking decorating and dreaming up fun projects that we wanted to do. She really got a kick out of several of her students leaving comments about recognizing her. I know those of you who had Debbie for a teacher loved her to pieces, like I do!
After 30+ years of teaching, Debbie is now working part time, with hopes of only teaching another year or 2 and she’s already started an at-home business of monograms. It’s time for her creative side to really shine! 
Debbie has the coolest office space/craft room in her basement, complete with a sink. She painted the walls and ceiling all black to give it a studio effect with all of her craft things and this is where the inspiration is born. She got out all of her wares that she is now selling online to show me the line-up. And boy, does she have some cute things! 
See how fun this space is?!
Stacked to the ceiling with all sorts of things, this is where she does all her crafting.
Market Baskets
Diaper Bags
Pouches for cosmetics or what not.
And she sent me my own personalized bag in my signature black/white and lime green. Isn’t it adorable?! I can see this going with me to a Beth Moore conference, holding all my pens and books. 🙂 This is called the Create-A-Bag on the website and she has oodles of fun fabrics and colors.
You know a giveaway is coming, right?!

Houndstooth Print Large Travel Bag has to be my absolute favorite. I really need a weekend bag for when I am visiting the College Diva. This would be perfect for those little jaunts! The apron is a much needed addition to my kitchen, I was just remarking the other day how I need to get an apron! Thanks Rhoda and Debbie!
I love all the fun black and white totes, but the black and white damask quilted duffle has to be my favorite. So handy for travel and so beautiful! Thanks for offering a wonderful give away and another place to find beautiful things. I love supporting women who work at home:>)
The Brown & White Polka Dot Market Tote Bag would look awesome with a Turquoise Large and small case initial !! Very nice stuff – thanks for introducing me to their site!
Hard to choose – I know my daughters would love the Sip & Snack cup – ADORABLE!
And I love the scarves & the tote bags. Everything is so cute!
All the items are lovely, but I think the large tote is so useful. I love the black and white fabrics. And, Rhoda, I also love your gift bag – so pretty! Linda
Rhoda,
Thanks so much for your wonderful blog and ideas. I love the black polka a dot. Please include me in the drawing!
Sooo pretty. Yes, please enter me in this great giveaway. Fingers crossed!!
I want to get my daughter a bag just like yours but I can’t find it on her site. I love her stuff!
I do like the Create A Bag, but I could really use something to bring my lunch and snacks in to my day job. I usually bring my lunch everyday, along with some snacks, so a tote or the lunch box bags would be great.
I like the travel bags, cosmetic bags, and scarves, but it’s all VERY cute!
Wow, what an adorable site! The cutest thing she’s selling has to be the brown and pink damask duffel bag – I do a lot of traveling and that would be adorable, That apron is hard to compete with, though!
Great giveaway, Rhoda! I love, love, love the monogrammed lunchboxes. My two girls would have an absolute fit over these, especially the zebra stripe! For me I am a sucker for a great looking tote! Black prints are my favorite.
Hope you are having a great week!
Jennifer
I love!!!! The lime green market basket! I need one!
The apron is incredibly cute! I would love to win! My favorite travel bag is the pink and white damask. Very girly.
She has so many cute things at good prices! Wow! I like the lime zebra print market tote. Thanks!
Hey! LOVE everything, it’s so hard to choose! I think today, I love the vinyl lettering, and the “under $20” option on her website! LOTS of great ideas for Christmas gifts, my mind is already churning for the holidays!!!
I love the lime and pink lunch tote, too cute! My daughter would love that.
Gee everything is fantastic and I hope her shop goes well for her. Personally I am a tote person but the market basket also caught my eye because it is different. Your giveaway is adorable, who wouldn’t want that tote and apron, very cute.
Love the houndstooth print travel bag. But, I love the create-a-bag too! You can never have too many bags! Thanks for the chance to win!
She certainly is creative. I love the black and white polka dot cosmetic totes. How cute.
