This "Bag Lady" Comes Clean

My sweet friend, Carrie, from Carrie's Little World, tagged me a few days ago with this fun purse tag. and here's what you do...

1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you cannot go up to your closet and pull out that cute little purse you used back before you had kids. I want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house. No cheating!

2. I want to know how much it costs =). And this is not to judge. It is for entertainment purposes only. So, spill it. And, if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I'd love to hear it.

3. Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know what the heck you're showing everyone your bag.

OK, here it is...aren't you mpressed? I REALLY wanted to cheat and run out to the nearest department store and buy the most awesome purse I could find, but I'm much too honest (and cheap!) for that! LOL! I bought this purse at Kohl's and spent $40 on it, which about killed me. I don't know why, but I just don't spend a lot of money on purses. If I can find a bargain that I can live with, then that's the one for me! Here's what I carry with me...I definitely think I have a lipstick addiction! What's even worse is that all four tubes are just about the exact same color! I cannot go anywhere without hand sanitizer...I'm kind of nutsy about it. My poor little notepad doesn't even have a cover on it, anymore! OK, so now that I've come clean, I would love for these ladies to do the same:

1. Sandy-The Adams Family
2. Betty-Keeper of the Skies Wife
3. Queenie Jeannie-Jeannie's Happy World
4. Heather-Family Forever
5. Amy-The King's Table

Hope everyone's Valentine's Day is going GREAT!!!♥ Never let an opportunity to say, "I love you" pass by!

You are so funny April! I hate spending lots of money on stuff like purses too. I do think they are cute though : ). I dont have any lipstick in mine. I should probably do this just so I could clean out my purse. It gets CRAZY in there. Happy Valentines Day.

Aubs said...

How FUN!! Purses are one of the only things i do splurge on but it has to be something i love and its not everyday i find that! Hope your having a fabulous valentines day!

Unknown said...

Nothing wrong with that bag!!! It is super organized. Unlike me.

Have a great Valentine's Day!

I think your purse is cute!!! I also have a lipstick obsession, except it's one lipgloss and I only wear one shade, but have like 15 of them stashed all over the house and in every purse.

Have a wonderful Valentines Day with you cute family!!

XOXOXOOX

Happy Valentine's Day to you and your family April!♥

Hmmm... you sure travel light, don't you? I guess that's what happens when the kids grow up. I think I'm getting close to being able to ditch the crayons and drawing paper. Although, the crayons do come in handy when I can't find a pen. No one ever steals your crayon if you lend it to them; wonder why? Happy Valentines Day to a really sweet lady!

Michelle said...

Happy Valentine's Day April! Just for the record, it's hard for me to spend more than $25.00 on a purse because I beat them up so bad!

michele said...

A fun post! Oh April, I had the time to read this morning the story of your mom and dad. What a BEAUTIFUL story it was!! I am so glad they had 50 years together! I know you must miss both of your parents so much. What a great example of LOVE they are.

Queenie Jeannie said...

I will come back later and do this. Bella is still so sick.

Mamarazzi said...

Daphine said...

Hey lady!
This was a fun post! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD you didn't tag me because my poor pitiful heavy pathetic purse is way overdue for a clean out! LOL! Seriously....not joking in any way at all!!!!!

I don't like spending money on purses either! It just kills me. I do like your purse though. I would definitely pick this too! Well...maybe not. My limit is about $30 on a purse. lol!

The Quintessential Magpie said...

That is a cute tag, April, and I loved peeping in your purse! LOL!

Happy Sunday and hope your week is going to be GREAT!

XO,

Sheila :-)

Aubrey said...

Fun! I have seen this one floating around! I love seeing what everyone has had in their handbags! LOL

Brittany said...

Thank you for visiting my blog today!
I also have a fur-baby named Maddie. :)

Your purse is much tidier than mine; however, I have the same lipstick/gloss problem. And, don't get me started about the hand sanitizer... germs are so icky!
