What do you say?
Okay, so before you pass out because I’m actually posting to my blog, there’s something really important I want you to know - I’ve missed you!!! Now that that’s out of the way, I have something really important to ask you…
When someone compliments you on something you’ve made, do you say, “Thanks, I made it” or does a simple “thank you” suffice? I’ve carried this purse a handful of times, and each time a stranger has complimented it. While I was tempted to tell them I made it, I chickened out every time and just said thanks. Of course I knew I would come to my blog and show you all my purse.
So here it is! And did I forget to mention that I made it? ‘Cause I did.
So what do you say in that situation?

I truly admire people who are able to post to multiple blogs each day. I have a hard time finding time to read my favorite blogs each day, let alone post to my own. So that it is why I have decided to focus all of my energy on my FrugalMom.net Blog. I’ve had my FrugalMom.net website and forum for over 4 years now, and although the blog is a little late to the party, it has arrived with bells on.
Frugal living must be in my blood, since it is so easy for me to write about it every day. This personal blog, on the other hand, is just too much work. Guess that’s what happens when you have a boring life! 
So I hope you come over to FrugalMom.net and visit! Hey - you never know - I might help save you money or find work at home!

Hi! Glad you are back
I have missed you!!!! Um- I am not sure- I think that if it is a good friend I might tell- it depends on the situation. I LOVE the purse! Gorgeous!
I would say. “Thank you! I had so much fun making it!” This way, they know you made it, but it doesn’t count as bragging:) Of course, plan on everyone you tell to then ask you to make them one. Like me. I totally want one. How much?
Glad you’re back, I’ve missed you!
I love the purse! I think Lydia’s idea is a good one…let’s them know without “bragging”!
Good to see you posting again! I love the purse. I’d just say thank you…and then tell them what a hard time you have finding cute purses. Then their next question will be, “Where DID you find that?” and you can tell them…”I made it! I can’t find cute purses, so I have to make them!”
And then they’ll say something like, Hey - can you make ME one? And you can tell them about this cute toille fabric that you have that you just don’t know what to do with.
I love Lydia and Marti’s suggestions. Very cute purse.

Wow! There’s certainly nothing wrong with telling people you made something. You might actually meet a fellow crafter (though you’re more likely to meet more people who want you to make them one).
