I just cant contain my excitement.

[iesha]

I'm selling a hand made by me bag on eBay and have 5 watchers and had a ASQ last night asking can they collect. It really looks like it might sell!!!

I'm really pleased and just had to tell someone. Woo Hoo!

link please! I like to see everyone's handiwork

Well done. I sent of my first commissioned picture yesterday and can't wait to know if they like it.

Great isn't it [proud]

here is is

I'm almost bouncing in the seat. Cant wait until is finishes to see if it sells.

oops, just linked to my page, that cant be good.

Can't see it as not subscribed to ebay

try again

You made it from magazines??

How cool and strange. Would it get soggy if it rained or is it protected with something.

PS - not taking the mick, honest, just curious.

I've never felt so proud of myself.

Well done bandofmothers.

Thanks Is exciting.

Now that is different - hope you get a good price for it!

It covered in glue and then VArnish, so it's actually quite water resistant. I made one for myslef and took it out in a gentle rain just to check and had no probs. I made a purse and covered it the same way and held it under the tap for a while and it was fine. I was pretty surprised really.

LOL at being surprised.

Cool, it's very different, and a great recycling idea.
Has it got material inside, or is it purely paper???

thanks miaou, I'm hoping for at least £10 as that will cover the cost of glue, varnish etc. But i would be just as excited if it sold for the starting price. CAnt wait!

No it's purely paper. I thought of lining it but wasn't too sure how to go about it without it looking really messy. Might have a go again as I have plenty of fabric lying around.

Very cool.
Hope it sells well and you make a profit too

Thanks everyone. I'm glad noone went "what a load of rubbish, who would want that" DH was very sceptical when I told him I was going to try and sell one.

aww thanks. I just did it for fun really but who knows, if it goes well I might just have my own business to run. lol. Oh if only!!

what does OOAK mean?

One of a kind. Love the nicname BTW

cool bag, I have an addiction to handbags, haven't treated myself for a while to one!!! Hmmm, thinks of ways to explain to hubby why I need yet another handbag!!!!!

LOL, I know what you mean, I also have an bag addiction. My latest excuses have been, the bag I was using broke while I was out so I needed to buy another. or Isn't mum nice to buy me a present. Luckily my DH spends more on his hobby than I ever could on bags.

It's very unusual - well done! Have you seen Etsy?

Yes, I saw a similar but better made one on etsy for, iirc $150. Thats why I thought I would try ebay. maybe I'll put one on there too if it sells on ebay.

Thanks for you kind comments everone. More people seem to like it that I would ever have thought. Watchers are still rising. Is it all you MNers just wanting to see if it sells?

OOh, i wish someone would bid and put me out of my misery.
