Say "no" to boring purses with your sharpie and mad doodling skills










  So my beloved old canvas purse was dying and I needed a replacement and I was lucky enough to find this fab red bag.  A fine enough bag, but ultimately lacking in pizzaz. Something had to be done.
  Not to brag but I'm somewhat of a master doodler.  When I was still in school and almost everyone else was dutifully taking notes, I was busy honing my craft.  Maybe you were a diligent doodler as well?  Well here's a chance to show off.

By the way, the ginger liqueur is from a local distiller here in Portland, http://www.newdealdistillery.com   and it is fabulous.  Here are the recipes:
