Thank you all for the encouraging comments!!! It really boosted my spirit to making the envelope purses. I made two all ready and am quite excited, but know that there are many spots that could be polished if I ever try to make another one*wink.*
Here is a picture of the results of my envelope purses:
Not quite perfect (very rough in spots), but still pleased with it:).
Purple one.... (Which I finished last night)
Blue one.... (That I made to-day:)
Also, yesterday, my mom and I went to a flee market which was held in the middle of town. I purchased this lovely fine bone china tea cup which was only $2 bucks!!! (What a deal, right??!!!) There were many other tea cups at another table that I was looking at, but they were $12; so I did not purchase them:(Tear): 
I know it says "25th Anniversary," but it is pretty nonetheless, and a perfect price!
I also found this vintage, dainty half-apron for only $4, and I had to buy it!!! I LOVE half-aprons, so old-fashion (And this one has pockets:)! (Sorry the picture is blurry) 
When Mother and I arrived home, we were greeted by an unexpected, spectacular surprise! My aunt, who had stayed with us at the beginning of June, sent us this gorgeous-looking bouquet!!! Thank you so much, Aunt Sue!!! We LOVE it!!!
Quite Victorian looking, no? 'Tis quite pretty to look at!!!
Hope all are having a lovely evening!

Hello dear little sis! Grace, I think those envelope purses came out very cute indeed! I LOVE that teacup & half apron, too! And those flowers are gorgeous - the close-up of the bloom is enchanting! I think it could be in a book or enlarged as an art print. You are one talented girl! Hope your day opens up to sweet beauty just like God's flowers! =) I'm so so blessed to have you as a little sister in Christ! I think you are simply great!

P.S.: Please pray I've got an interview tomorrow at 2:00. I'm nervous, but I'm trusting God & His will & I will praise Him whatever the results.
