Getting on those New Year's Goals...

Good Morning...

Yesterday, Toni at

A Bowl Full of Lemons

had a little purse party

Yep, a what's in your purse party!

She has a fun little quiz you can take

to see what your purse says about you.

You can take the quiz here

You can see what the quiz said about my purse

at the end of my post.

So when I read, "what's in your purse..."

My first thought was...

A crumbled up cookie from the grocery store

that Jackson didn't eat.

Since that was my first thought I decided that

I probably needed to jump on this challenge

right away.

So here is my purse...

It usually has my phone case and some

hand sanitizer from Bath and Body Works on it.

So let's see what's in there...

My purse is never organized.  I tend to just dump

things in there.  Which, yes, makes it very frustrating

to try and find anything.

So what's in that pile of mess...

Nothing too exciting, the usual stuff.

Wallet, check books....not in wallet...not very smart...

cough drops, Kleenex (apparently we have a lot of snotty noses

because I had 4 packs in there)

Gum, tic-tacs, lipstick

and yes...trash!

Why is it that boys think mom's purse is a personal

garbage can?  I put enough garbage in there myself, thank you very much!

OK, I see Scott's keys...where are mine?

And yes, there is a pair of broken sunglasses in there.

I borrowed Scott's sunglasses that he usually leaves in my car on day,

threw them in my purse and guess what happened...

Yep, broken...I need to add "buy Scott new sunglasses"

to my to do list.

Store reward cards that were taking up a lot of

room in my wallet. 

Ahhh....better.  Everything back in and organized.

Notice I switched purses...

it was time for a change.

I like to change my purses out often.

I borrowed Toni's idea for the store cards and

used a regular old hole punch and punched away.

Warning...some of those cards are NOT easy to punch through!

But I got them all done and slipped on a ring and

now when I need them, they are all in one place.

No more frantically searching through my walled

among everything else trying to find them while checking out.

A little update:  A few have asked about this bag.

It's a Vera Bradley Bowler Bag.

Love it!

I also changed out my gingerbread man

hand sanitizer for a cute little penguin for the winter.

The cute little holders works wonders when trying to

get little boys to keep their hands clean.

Well, it's not a giant organizing project that

is going to move mountains,

but it's a start.

Hop on over

and get some great ideas

on getting your purse organized!

So, did you go and take the quiz?

Here are my results.

I laughed a little at my results because they

are a little all over the place.

What my handbag says about me...

You are concerned with how you appear. 

 Projecting your high status is important to you.

Umm...not really...I don't think there is anything about me that

could be considered "High Status"

You tend to be relaxed throughout the day.

You are naturally at peace.

I think I would agree with this one.

You are a high maintenance person. 

You feel lost outside of your normal environment.

HAHA!  This is where Scott would say

"You've got THAT right!"

I don't feel lost outside of my normal environment,

a little uneasy, maybe, but not lost.

High Maintance...sometimes...

You are a very creative person. 

Your life tends to be a whirlwind,

but you always seem to pull it together.

Yep, that one sums me up pretty well.

You are an outgoing and expressive person.

You always speak your mind, and you're very approachable.

That one is pretty good.

I could probably stand to keep my opinion in

my pocket a little more often.

You are a very unique and special person.

There is no one else who is anything like you.

Yep, that's right...everyone is unique in their own way,

and as special as can be!
