I am so addicted to Pinterest. If you are too, you may recognize this. This pic of this purse showed up on the site a few days ago and I think I gasped when I saw it. I love it! And while I 'want' it, I think my sister 'needs' it. Seriously. It's sold by Nordstroms, but unfortunately it says it's not available. Boo.

Happy 1 year anniversary to my house! Sometimes I wonder if it's a little unnatural how much I love my house. Do other people feel the same way? In honor of the occasion, here's another before and after. This time, it's the hallway bathroom. What a difference paint, towel hooks, new knobs, a new faucet, new lighting, and accessories make!

I stopped by the library after work at noon today and picked up a few more books.

Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. The newest one, I think. Still have to read Shopaholic and Sister. Maybe they will have it next time.

Losing It...And Gaining My Life Back One Pound At A Time by Valerie Bertinelli. My biography/autobiography pick.

Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie. A fun romance.

Happy reading!

Since this blog is called 'my pretty purse,' I should start posting more about purses, right? Here's a coin purse from Kate Spade. It's a hedgehog, how funny is that?!

Year after year, I tell Billy exactly what I want for Christmas and he never gets it for me. He has said that he thinks 'she doesn't really want that, does she?' What?? On December 26, I'm pretty sure I will be buying these for myself.

Why am I always saying I'm not crafty? Look what I made -

I'm a horrible singer, so when Ruthie was born, I made Billy sing this to her in the hospital. I found a sign online, but it was $54 (plus shipping I'm sure). I made this one for $7. I was going to put it in my foyer, along with some mirrors I'm wanting, but I think both will look good in the black and yellow room (aka future nursery). Now I need to find new stuff for my foyer!

Speaking of 'signs,' on my first day back at work after I had Ruthie, this was the song that was on the music system when I walked in the building.
