That's funny! Do they not bump you off for not being a real person?

Nope! It’s my dog’s name and my last name, so I guess it looks real enough. Plus, I have come to believe that being able to claim a certain number of members is more important to FB than actually having real people, IYKWIM. My FB birthday is not my real birthday, either, also to try to protect my privacy.
 
Isn't it funny that sometimes you like something so much bit then you find out it doesn't suit you and suddenly you find someone to gift it to?

I've been bad. Very bad. I ordered 4 bags during MM valerie release. 3 little Valerie and 1 Theia in the color I've been lusting after for a year now. I like all that I got, but the favorite goes to the leather I've been lusting after and I only find myself wanting only one little Valerie all along. I actually decided since it hadn't arrived yet that I'll gift one to my niece so, it went to her yesterday. She loves it! And it just suit her perfectly. The vibe and everything. And today I just gift another one in cherry red Nappa to another niece. This one is older and a bit of a Punk Rock person I think she'll pull it off well. So I now end up with only half the order I placed, and maybe out of money a bit, but I feel very happy. I feel like I found them a good home and that they'd be loved and cherished. :)

Happiness is the goal in whatever we do. So keeping and gifting as makes you happy is a good thing!

This is great! I'm not on FB, but I have friends that got bumped off for using fake names. Of course they had hilarious names, and it was a while ago. Everyone keeps begging me to sign up with a funny name just to be on there. Actually, now it's Instagram.

Well, I have taken another run at rectifying my beloved Dior tote. As you know, I have been battling that cracking handle issue and have given up on getting it repaired by Dior. So, I tried tying it with a twilly, whose colors complement it but it kept slipping grr...

So today I went and got some velvet ribbon and wrapped it tightly. It is holding and adds cushioning to the hand. The color looks better in real life. I could have used a wider ribbon so that there are less horizontal lines but for now, I think I have found my long term solution..I am satisfied. What do you think?
