It's Time to Come Clean

This is probably my favorite purse of all time as far as its looks. I love the color--and the lining is a cream and green stripe. It even came with a matching wallet that has just the right number and location of compartments.
My gripe? It's impossible to keep clean, and it's nearly impossible to find anything inside it.

Let's play I Spy. Can you see
12 receipts (five from Target)
1 bib
1 burpcloth
1 pair of Diego underpants
1 baby rattle
1 notepad
2 pens
wire for hanging curtains
3 wall anchors for supporting wire
2 tins of sugar-free Altoids
3 packages of fruit snacks
2 Tootsie pops
1 unopened lip stain
a tape measure


The sad thing is that, aside from the receipts and the curtain hardware, all of it went right back in there.
What does your purse say about you?

  1. This just makes me feel better! I have so many of the same things in my purse and I am always cleaning it out just for it to turn into chaos again!

  2. I love your bag...LOVE that color and it looks very well worn in. My bag looks the same. I can't find anything in there. I have to leave my phone on vibrate so I can feel it when it rings. Love that you have kids underwear in there!!

  3. What my purse says about me is that I am an old bat with back problems and pack rat tendencies.

    (It is one of those healthy back bags that is stuffed to the brim with everything I need and most of the things I don't!)

    ;)

  4. I just bought a new purse and it's bigger than my last one...so I haven't quite filled it up yet.

    But considering my recent remodel I am right there with you on the hardware. I even have a piece of tile floating around in there.

  5. I feel so much better! I really don't like carrying a purse around...and switch them way too often. I have a little backpack keychain attached to my keys that holds my license, debit card, etc. I also have my iphone...these are my 2 must haves. Some days I carry my huge bag that holds my camera...the plan was to carry that all the time...but it's huge, and even though it's loaded with compartments, it's always a wreck. Yesterday it was loaded with things to go to the city...snacks, water bottles, etc. A mess.... :)

  7. That is too funny and I think all women can relate.
    My purse says that I am a total slob who never throws anything away - which is not true but I seriously keep everything in my purse forever! The bright side is that I can always find weird things when I need them - ha ha.

    I love that you have a tape measure in your purse - ha ha - I might have to add one to mine :D

  8. My purse says that I have a bit of OCD. I know everything that's in there and everything has it's spot. I won't buy a purse unless it has a flat bottom, lots of compartments and everything will stay in it's place. I know pathetic, but I guess that's me!

    I have a friend whose husband said, "Maybe you need a bigger purse." To which she replied, "I need a bigger purse like I need a bigger pair of jeans, I will just fill it." (smile)

  10. The amount of stuff I "need" seems to expand and contract according to how big my purse is. Since I've moved here, though, I don't carry one. At all.

    Maybe what that says about my personality is that I don't have one. :)

  11. My purse would say the same thing about me that yours says about you: that someone has a very busy life, and they like to be prepared! My purses are gigantic and filled to the brim. There are always at least two pair of glasses: sunglasses and reading. Sometimes distance ones too. (I'm blind as a bat) Also two wallets (one for the checkbook) a coin purse, 2 sets of keys (1 for home, 1 for work) a hairbrush/rubberband combo, Excedrin, an iPhone, and at least 5 different lipsticks and/or lipglosses. Oh - and a baggie with at least 13 different vitamins and supplements in it that I swallow during the course of each day. A pack of almonds. And that's just on a regular day.
