INTRODUCING the pale skinny arm. my happy almost 6 year old. and another new purse.

The kid
the cast.

cutting it off. almost there.
the skinny pale arm!

the smile says it all! SWEET FREEDOM!
here you go, I'm participating in this challenge.
the captive audience.
OH look , i was actually there.
♥♥♥
Joy will be 6 on the 12th!
here is the famous sombrero!
Who doesn't love to wear a hat that tons of other people do?
it makes every birthday complete in our family.
you haven't had your birthday unless you've gone to Mi Amigo's

THRILLED about the annoying Hannah Montana microphone that sings through an FM radio station that happens to have Hispanic music on it. FANCY!

OH a new webkin! a black cat I've been holding onto for her birthday since December.
grandma has this one, and Joy wanted one just like her.
it's name is Shadow.
excited about something.
maybe it was the webkin lil' kin from Grandma, and the cash.
Joy also got a bunch of horse things. she thinks she loves horses. and wanted something new for her Horse collection. so she got some cheap horse toy, and a Bella Sara gift set.
Bella sara, is another online thing like webkinz, with online game play and a code but these have cards that give you horse shoes, and you get to decorate a cottage, and have fantasy horse stuff. wowee! she played for all of 10 minutes. whatever! i did my part.

♥♥♥
last but not least- the new Purse.
i got my money back on the black one.
an unknown Italian leather designer. Sofia C.
unknown because there is no online retailer or store website
i did find an Italian site. and good reviews on a purse fetish online group.
i'm closer to deciding on a purse.
i bought it because if i wouldn't have , I'd fantasize about it,
decide i really want it. only to go back and have it be gone.

what do you think of this one? more me huh?
Lance liked this one better(he thought it was more me) , so did my sister.
it's all leather. canvas lining.
once again it's from TJmax and was $119.
the only others i found online from this designer were $350 retail.
who knows if that is accurate. or over inflated.

all that matters is i like the purse.

Pro's-
-it fits well-perfect over the shoulder length
- it is large enough to carry anything i want
-smooth buttery leather
-it has inside cell phone pocket, and zippered pocket.
-outside snap pocket
-fun color. not HOT pink fuchsia but more a purplish fuchsia.
-it would look fab with my uniform (black and jeans)
-it isn't old lady looking
-all leather, no painted edges, or vinyl trim.

cons-
-it's purplish fuchsia. not hot pink
-the cost is it really worth that much?
-it isn't a name brand(unknown = lame) or is that good since no one else will have it?
-there isn't a website i can pirate pictures off of. to show it to you

so what do you think of this one?

Great pictures! Love Joy's expressions! She kills me.

Grody arm. I bet it feels good to be able to scratch it though. Did it stink?

SuperCoolMom said...

Cute purse!

I am not a fan of purple( I have had a strange bias against it since I was a kid) but if you are then it is a fab purse. I always get a bigger kick out of a fun colored bag instead of a plain black/brown one. And more compliments too. It really is the style these days , I think. I love the leather. It just looks soft and comfy. I don't think a known designer is important when you can tell the bag is ALL leather. It just looks expensive. COnvenient pockets? Must have. I like it much better then the black one. Yay on the fun birthday and the cast is gone!

Laurie said...

Yay for the cast cutting!! Must be so nice to finally be free of that thing. Happy Birthday to Joy!

Cool Weekly Challenge shot! That's a perfect bits and pieces pic!

Bella Sara....ugh. WE have that stuff at our house too. Blahck. BUT. YOu did your part.

The purse is way cute. Since I only spend $15 on mine at AMerican Eagle on clearance though, I am not allowed to give you a real vote.

Happy Birthday to the big 6 year old!!!!

Cute birthday pics! That is pure happiness on her face! I like this purse a lot better. Who can say no to "smooth buttery leather"? I like the color. The craziest I've ever gone is red leather or green. I should get out of my shell.

Happy Birthday again to Joy! SO stinking cute she is animated. Just realized my Garyn turns 6 this year too. Not until the end I won't panic yet.

Thanks I still want mexican food. Maybe I can swing it this week if I don't bring up money to my hubby. If he doesn't think about it he may just take me. I think I will try it. De-lish! Looks like fun and tasty too.
