Girl's Valentine's Day Purse

This is a purse that I have designed for my upcoming website. But I thought I would share it here until my website is live. Hope you enjoy. Optional flower motif is also included. This is a quick and easy project for even a novice crocheter. Please email or PM me if you have any problems.

I had a friend test it, who is an average crocheter, and she finished hers in less than 2 days, of non-constant crochet. I was thinking each purse works up in less than 6 hours, however, I am not sure about other crocheters. Let me know how long one takes you, please.
