What I keep on me and a GIVEAWAY!!!!!

I'm a bit of a purse snob.
That's right...I like storage and "cute-ability" in a purse.
 It doesn't have to cost alot, just be completely useful. 

I have alot of purses in my closet.  I don't necessarily switch them with every outfit I wear...that's too time consuming...but I do switch them with my moods.  I switch them when I'm feeling the one I currently carry doesn't have enough storage for what I'm carrying at the time.

I buy a lot of purses at Goodwill.  But, I buy only name brand ones.  I have a SAK purse in the closet, a GAP, and several Vera Bradley ones (some I bought on clearance on the website.)  I used to have a Kate Spade one, but it wasn't big enough. 

I recently saw on a website a lady who revealed what was in her purse...so that's what I'm going to do today, and I have a GIVEAWAY too.

This is the purse I currently carry.
 It's a Vera Bradley.  I bought it on clearance.  It's not necessarily my favorite pattern, but I can't get over the storage!  It has two pockets on the front, one huge zippered one on the back, 3 on the inside, and another huge zippered one inside too.  Unbelievable!  And I love the shape of the purse.

Inside, this is what I'm carrying...


I've got a big calendar to control our crazy schedule, matching wallet, library cards, pens, nail file, phone, extra gap mini purse for lipsticks, hair clips and hair bands for whenever Grace or I need some.  Hairspray, mentos, and ibuprofen.

Now, for the GIVEAWAY...I'm giving away a purse I made last year.

I converted a market tote that I got from Target last spring.  It's a light denim color with a very cute lining.
It's got a magnetic clasp,
a zippered pocket inside, along with 5 other pockets I added.
Remember, pockets are a girl's best friend!
I did add a customized flower pin that is removable so you can wear it on the purse, or on you!
So, to enter you can do up to 3 things, and be entered 1 or 3 times, it's up to you:

1.  leave a comment telling me what is in your purse, right now!
2.  Become a follower and leave me a comment telling me so.
and lastly,
3. Write your own post, tweet, or facebook your friends about the giveaway.
Leave me a comment telling me what you've done, and I'll announce the winner on Sunday, Feb. 5.

Good luck and empty your purses!

  15. Right now I am using a small Vera purse that my mother gave me. It is the perfect size to fly with . It can wrap around your neck. I used it to fly around Christmas and still using it. It has lots of pockets.

  16. My purse -- a quilted not Vera Bradley bag that could use retiring -- has really only basics. I've got my wallet, kleenex, lipstick, a pen, a comb and a mirror. Maybe gum and a few other little odds and ends. I carry it in my tote bag and that has my calendar and keys and papers I should sort through. This looks great for summer!
