  Here is my bag:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  after having it for well over 1/2 a year, i still absolutely love this bag and continually have people stop me to ask about it.  i chose the microfiber option (leather is also available) . . . think kate spade . . .  and it wipes clean so easily.  the inside is bright pink, you can also choose black, but i like to open my bag up to happiness and not a black whole where things are easily camouflaged.  
  
  
  this adorable back would make a GREAT and truly one-of-a-kind mother's day gift  . . . and if you are already thinking of father's day . . . we can put your pictures on wallets as well.  
  
  
  how much?  for a bag like mine with a picture from one of your photo sessions with me, just $150 plus shipping!  you can go out and spend A LOT more on a bag that someone else has.  or, you can get a great deal on a one-of-a-kind bag that ONLY you will have.  sounds good to me.
