I caved

My teens and friends' husbands have been teasing me about my purse. They say its really a bag and HUGE. Its partially true as there are times when I am digging in it and I can't locate my wallet and there's only like 5 things in it. So, I caved last week and bought TWO Vera Bradley purses! I know. But, they are so darn cute! And enjoyable. I have NEVER in my life paid so much for a purse. Yet, I am a female and beginning to do more girly things - make-up, perfume, pedicures. Its weird though b/c I still am a rough and tumble tomboy. I like to play in dirt and get messy. I could care less about what I'm wearing and it still only takes me 20 minutes or less to get ready, including my shower.

So, here are the cutie petuties from Vera Bradley

Hipster in Purple Punch

I didn't want to pay shipping and I admit I wanted instant gratification. So, I located a store that sells Vera Bradley and went there. It also happens to be my co-workers favorite store. They purchase all our birthday gifts from Love Street in Smyrna, GA.

I had to post this 'commercial' from Grassroots Films:

Seignadou Soap

Added a new widget to the blog - Seignadou Soap!

I am unabashedly going to plug Seignadou Soap now. I recently went into my supply of the nuns' lip balm and I am almost out. It lasts a long time, those little tubes. :) I also seem to open about 3-4 and stash them all over, so I am never left wanting. I also seem to be giving way a lot more because people are seeing how much BETTER and cheaper ($2 each) it is than Burt's Bees.

And, if you are still a little skeptical, here are a few links to other people's takes on the Summit nuns' product line:

Also, the sisters are in the final stages of renovating their kitchen and refectory, but they still need about $24K. Take a look around their Future Full of Hope Fundraising Campaign site (complete with tons of photos) and also add their blog to your RSS feed for updates and views into their lives. They truly are an awesome group of women giving totally whole-heartedly their lives to Christ. And, they live in complete JOY!

Thank You.

Time Out over

Ok, so I had to cut off my blog and change some facts in profile for there was some mischieveous activity occurring. But, that is now done and past and we can move on.
