Monday Musings - Blog Design

Why can't Blogger have cuter blog designs?

I am not creative enough to design my own backgrounds and fun stuff.

Sure I was able to design a couple of "Blog Love" buttons, but that was only after I googled how to do it.

I would L-O-V-E to have someone do a design for me, but I can't settle on any colors!

UGH...

It is just so frustrating!

I need a "store front" and a blog design that correlate with each other.

Guess I am gonna have to break down and figure out my colors and then have Lindsay at Scenic Glory give me a blog make-over. She is uber talented and her blog designs are totally gorgeous!

Gonna have to do some penny pinching and hire my girly!

You should definitely check out some of her designs.

Ooo la la...

Until next time, have a fabulous week!

P.S. Sorry, I didn't have any photos for your viewing pleasure today! :-(

What Ya Got In That Bag?

Since I am kind of at a loss for a post, I thought I'd try something different.

I have seen a couple of bloggers do this...

Melissa over at Write It In Lipstick is one that comes to mind first.

However, I've seen it a couple of other places too (just don't remember the blog names).

Everyone carries either a little bit or a "lot bit" in their purse, handbag, whatever.

*Yes, I know "lot bit" doesn't make sense.  Just go with it!  K?  Thanks!*

The following is what I carry in my purse.

*Stay tuned, I may do a post with what I carry in my "activity" bag to work later!*

Clockwise:

Coach Purse - score off of eBay

Makeup bag from Africa a gift from the hubs Aunt and Uncle whom live there currently

*it is chock-full of lipstick, lip gloss, and wipes for my glasses*

Mark by Avon compact

Wallet - which is 1000 years old (okay, I may be exaggerating a little on the age)

Keys (house & truck) - I have so many of those "rewards" cards on there it isn't funny!

wow, the lighting in here sucks!

Clockwise (from 12:00 position):

Emery Board - My nails are finally grown out from being destroyed by artificial tips! YAY!!!

Gum - For those days that I absentmindedly forget to brush my teeth before venturing out and about.

Pen (One of the "gifts" from my prior J-O-B)

Fire Balls! (What you don't carry a load of candy in your purse that your kids won't touch?)

2 pocket hand sanitizers - Remember my "dirty little secrets"? I told you I carried 2 of them!

Batteries - Um, not quite sure what these were doing in there...hmmm....

So there you have it!

That's what's in "that bag"!

Do YOU Love to Shop? How About if You AREN'T Spending Your Own Money?...

I'm not usually one to do this kind of thing, but I will totally do anything to better my chances of winning!

What a Fan-tab-u-lous birthday gift this would be for myself - if I won it that is!  :-)

My girl Lindsay over and Scenic Glory is having a give-a-way for a $75 gift certificate to Modcloth.

Yes you read that right...

$75.00

If you have never been to the site, you totally have to check it out!

While you are over at Scenic Glory, check it out and stay a while.

That girl is totally talented!
