The purse dump challenge

I guess if I'm going to issue a challenge, I have to do it myself too! So I dumped my purse, then kind of arranged it in a pleasing manner (that's the decorator in me!). It doesn't look like as much as it what it feels like I carry around! I have my planner which is a wreck, but I've had it for 10 years and love it to death. I have a very well used Tide to Go stick--they really work! A bag of baby wipes which I always have whether or not I have a baby 'cause something's always going to be sticky or dirty. Two pairs of glasses (my husband is in optics and would be shocked that they're not in their cases!). My coin purse. Hand gel. Cell phone. Bath and Body works lotion. Keys with a Homestarrunner keychain. Gum that my children always seem to get to before I can. Lipstick and a lip gloss palette from The Body Shop (has a mirror in it.). A tape measure for my many trips to furniture stores. Some business cards (Elena, thank Jarom again for helping me realize my vision for these. That little dog with the leaf in his mouth gets me more clients than you know!). And although I don't always carry it with me, today I had one of handy-dandy paint decks occupying much of the space.
I had to take a picture of the inside of my planner--much like my house it appears neat and clean on the outside, then you open it up and aaaaah!. My change purse also seems to be full of the many club and punch cards I collect. We still have donut coupons from Halloween. I also have some money in there, but only because it is allowance day.

Nice choice of gum! I love seeing the ever familiar paint color thingy-ma-bobber.
(that's the official name in my house.)

I'm going to put my tide to go in my purse right now. It's been sitting above my washer for weeks and the whole "to go" thing doesn't really work if it's in your laundry room.
