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.

The black fleur de lis lunch sac is adorable. Would love to win that apron!
Love, love, love the zebra lunchbox! My daughter has to wear uniforms to school, so we love to accessorize!
Love the computer cases and the hounds-tooth duffel!
Hi Rhoda,
I LOVE these!!! Especially the bag she made you and the apron.
Blessings,

I love the bag that Debbie made for you. It was fun to see her office, too. Rhoda, of all the blogs I follow with all their lovely decor and fabulous ideas, I relate to your style the most. I would love it if you could host a home office party where people could share their personal office space and give the rest of us some inspiration. Of your gift offerings, I would like to win the sampler. I am a fan of samplers, have made several myself and I especially appreciate the ones with sweet sentiments like the one you are giving away. I look forward to your posts every day.
I really need an apron, so that is what I would pic!!
I loved about everything- especially the create a bag and the totes.
