Let's Make A Deal! (what's in your purse?)
THE OLD AND THE NEW OF IT
Remember that game show? Boy! The more stuff you could fit in your bag, the better for you! Ya never knew what Monte Hall was gonna ask for next! Well... my bag isn't as bad as all that... but Hubby does call it my "filing cabinet"... *sigh* Ya know, it wasn't so many years ago that I didn't carry a purse at all! I was down to just a wallet and my keys! And my keys were actually attached to my wallet -- so IT was my keyring! It was little. LOL! So HOW did it get back to THIS???
THIS was my old ugly purse! The one I quit carrying yesterday!You can see, I kept a lot of stuff in it... IMPORTANT stuff!
my Wallet
my checkbook
deposit slips
index study cards
(with Bible verses)
my cell phone
my camera
(don't leave home without it!!!)
my keys
key to Hub's truck
5 pens
a Tide stain remover
3 lipsticks
1 gloss
FOUR chapsticks
a compact
(for mirror puposes only)
a little bit of change
my darling Luz
a button from our Harley Plant tour
So, you see? I ONLY carry the necessities of life!
LOL!
Amanda and I went shopping yesterday. We had sO much fun! It was her first time out to buy ANYthing for Luz! I was amazed! I'm tellin' ya -- she's known that baby was coming since BEFORE September, and she had not bought so much as a barrette for her hair! But yesterday was THE day. Amanda was going "clothes shopping" for Luz -- and I was invited to come along! Saturday, she and Hector are going TOY shopping for Luz. I was VERY good yesterday -- I only bought her one more pair of jammies and ONE little T-top. (it said "I'm just PERFECT, that's all" on it -- don't even TRY to tell me she doesn't NEED it!) But, I'm getting off track - because the thing is is that I bought a NEW purse! A smaller purse.
I LOVE this purse!!!And as you can see... I had to wittle down the contents a
bit... and it's a very tight squeeze to get it all in! I need a
smaller (flat) wallet that can hold my checkbook too! I
found one I LOVED yesterday - but it was as much as the
purse. So I decided I'll go to WALMART today and settle
for a CHEAP wallet!!! And I might lose the compact! LOL!
Okay... so do ya WANNA see what Amanda bought too? I know you do! She was soooooo cute! When we got home from shopping, first she started laying everything out on the floor!
And then she got it all arranged into her favorite formations
of how the outfits would be... not that they can't mix n match
in multitudinous ways!
And then...
she layed back on Luz's bed to just ADMIRE her purchases!(and dream about little Luz wearing those darling outfits!)
Oh. We were SUPPOSED to buy the dust ruffle for Luz's bed yesterday - but we got sidetracked and forgot! So she'll get that tomorrow. And the comforter was in the dryer - so it's not on the bed yet! But let me tell ya -- the room is together! By the time they leave for the airport Monday morning, that room will be picture perfect for Luz to come home to the following Tuesday!

That purse is adorable! I noticed that lipstick like the one I bought in Savannah. I know it keeps the color on all day, but feel I have to carry the gloss around all day so my lips don't feel downright WEIRD. And I can never leave without my Tide to Go Stick.
Little Luz is one blessed little girl! I can't wait to see HER in all those outfits. You guys need to have a little fashion show with her. What a blessing.
Love ya,
Susan

Little Luz is one blessed little girl!!! I know how hard it is, grandma, not to buy something for her every time you are out shopping. It is for me! I bought two fuzzy sleepers for Zoe for the winter months. I just couldn't help it!!

Now that I have a little time I scrolled through your blog to see what I missed and found this touching post with what Amanda has bought for little Luz ! I only hope that little Luz will love the outfits, little girls are sometimes already little women, lol ! When I see the 3 year old granddaughter of my best friend she only wants to choose her clothes herself can you immagine !!!
With that I almost forgot to congratulate you to your new purse ! Looks very nice !
