Tuesday Tightwad.... With a Twist!


I see you there..... staring into your monitor for something to get you through a tightwad tuesday. Well, what if I told you that this bag was created in Uganda, and that even if you are a tightwad, you can still contribute to a great project, PLUS have a piece of Africa for yourself?

This Ugandan bag was donated as is. Complete. Beautiful. Already a bag, and ready to sell.
I threw it over that lump's shoulder as she sat there, hogging my computer when she ought to be heading off to her bed. (not that she needs the beauty sleep...)
I think we ought to start this auction with a big, whopping $15.00.
The party goes on until 8 pm, cst.

the bag came to me this way:
a friend of a friend spent some time in Uganda, and brought this bag back for friend, who then donated it to this project.

Clear as mud?

Neither of the two were grandmas.
