Placemat Purse and my Squeezies!

My place mat had a conversion. No she did not go to a revival but she will manage to become filled with all kinds of goodies.

 Remember her  and I made you guess what I was going to turn her into?

Here she be!

 Did you see a purse comin'? Neither did I until I brought them home. 4 for $3.99! I had the material at home so that cost my a big fat $0.00 and it gets better..... the handles were on clearance for $1.97!  I am hyperventilating cuz this purse only cost $3.00!

I love a good repurpose. Stay tuned tomorrow for the tutorial. And I might give you another BOGT (Blog one, get two tutes!) as I think I might make a clutch out of another!!! Ya' know the great thing about these purses, you can unfold them for an impromptu picnic! Woot!Woot!

I hope you have been taking my challenge to look at things differently. 

Now how about looking at life differently? Scary? No. 

Life changing? 

YES!

Try it and let me know how it's going.

 I didn't want to leave you hangin' wondering how my sister weekend went. 

AWESOME!

It is good to be home but I already miss my sisters!  We had an extraordinary time together which always makes it hard to say good-bye. (Isn't that a song or something?) I am never good at goodbyes because I am a cryer so the first 10 minutes of the drive were a bit blurry and they wouldn't let me post the ones of the shaving cream in the face joke or the drooling on the pillow. Now that made me just breakdown completely!

But here are a few highlights that got by the SCD (Sisters Commission on Decency)......

My older sis Melissa and I did some serious damage at the Outlets while we waited for our baby sis Lisa to arrive. Not sure who thought fur was making a comeback but we were doing our best "Blue Steel" look. We look so natural don't we??

I think I look like the Church Lady trying to do the Blue Steel look!

Trying not to laugh as I took the iPhone pic.

Why hasn't anyone discovered us yet? 

Took these just to show my Izzy the shoes. 

Yeah Lisa showed up and we decided a photo op was in order in front of a horse that is painted like a cow. That explains the quizzical looks on our faces.

What we do best, EAT!

Our dad used to order a Jim Dandy Sundae from Friendlys Restaurant after every meal, and he'd finish the whole thing! So we ordered this one in honor of him. No, he is still alive and kickin' but I think the whole honor him thing was just an excuse to eat 5 scoops of ice-cream smothered in all kinds of deliciousness!  

3 minutes later......

I love you sistas and I thank God almost everyday that you are apart of my life. 

The other days I thank Him twice! 

Always being renewed,
