Well Hello!

It's been awhile since my last post but here I am back again! The Thanksgiving holiday was a busy time for us so didn't have much time to post anything. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We sure did lots of yummy food! I will be posting more about our Thanksgiving later with some yummy foods that we made this year.
I was so sad to go back to a full work week after having 4 days off but I guess we need money so we have to work. LOL. I'm a little behind on posting so I will be trying to get caught up this week. :)

I mentioned earlier that I wanted to do the 365 day challenge and start that on 12/1/11. Well since tomorrow is 12/1 I think this challenge will need to be pushed out till 1/1/12. I need to get myself ready for this one! But starting this at the beginning of a new might be good. That way I can see how the year goes. so stay tuned for those posting beginning of 2012!

New Purse

I have been wanting a new purse for a few weeks now....I have been looking everywhere and just couldn't seem to find one that really caught my eye. But I didn't give up on searching...Yesterday I was looking around online and I found one that I thought might be great. I decided after work I was going to head to Oak Park Mall and check it out and see what I thought about it.

Well I came home with a new purse. I really liked this one and it was on sale 50% off! It was originally $70 and I got it for $34.99. Great deal I thought. I usually have a hard time spending a lot on a purse so I always try to find sales on a cute one I like. :)

Here is my new addition.
I'm thinking I might need a new fun wallet to go with this....Christmas is coming so that might be something to add to my list!
