My Clutch on Steroids (sorry for being a slacker!)
Here is my over-sized wristlet that I carry every day. I was lugging around way too much crap, so I bought this for the wedding and then never stopped carrying it. I do have my eye on a new coach purse, I think I trip to the outlet mall is in my near future!
The Wristlet
The messy insides (you can still cram a lot of crap in a tiny bag, I am living proof)
Receipts of some recent household purchases:
A menagerie of gift cards
Stuff to throw away
The guts
1. Stamps
2. Checkbook
3. Milk card (yes, I am an old lady)-we go through at least 2 gallons of milk/week
4. Credit cards
5. I Pod that I barely use
6. Store punch/loyalty cards
7. ID (aka mug shot)
8. Sam's card
9. Keys and store scan cards (and my adorable niece and amazing key chain from Jena)
10. VS free stuff cards (should probably go cash those in)
Last but not least, my phone that is huge and does not normally (or ever) fit in my bag
Re: My Clutch on Steroids (sorry for being a slacker!)
Your JC Penney and Kohls receipts are making me jealous
I love your wristlet, it's inspiring me to get rid of my over-sized purse once and for all!

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermNice! I cannot believe how much stuff you manage to fit in that thing! lol
By the way, what the he!l is a milk card???
I'm really impressed that you can fit all of that! I carry a giant purse that is filled with more junk than any person could ever need, so I'm not sure if I could make that work. Oh, and the bag is super cute!
By the way - I love the backsplash behind the counter you were taking these pictures on!

I was wondering this too! Is it that if you buy so many gallons, you get one free or something?
Haha! See I am an old lady, you guys don't even know what a milk card IS?!?! It is a buy so many get one free card that our local grocery store offers. I finally gave in and let them give me one since I do buy A LOT of milk.
Xan-Phone cover is purple, but it is a bluer purple crystals on a purple plastic, I get made fun of for my "bejeweled" case all the time, but I love it.
Megan-That is my new back splash in my new kitchen! Did I ever post the pictures of the new kitchen??
Well in that case, I'm pretty sure I'm going to swing by and steal it from you, cool?
I don't think you ever posted pictures of the new kitchen, just some progress pics. Get on it, girl, we wanna see!
Haha! I think maybe it is a midwest thing, we are old school round these parts.
Xan, if you want one I will totally send you one, they are super cheap at a store in our mall. Tell me what kind of phone you have and I will pick one up for you
We don 't have the floor done or the trim up yet, we are slacking big time. So I think that the only thing we have probably done is stuff on the counter. I will have to get my butt in gear so I can put up the finally finished pictures!!
I don't even remember seeing progress pictures! I'm loving the backsplash and counters, though! Is that Santa Cecilia granite?
And, yes, get your butt in gear so we can see the finished product!!!
Megan & Chris
The counter is laminate, I am too cheap for granite, and we aren't planning to live here much longer so I didn't want to spend the extra money. I will repost the progress pics.
We are in the exact same boat! We actually just decided that it's not worth putting a bunch of money into our house, because we aren't going to get it all back when we sell it (which we decided this weekend should be in a year or less).
Are you guys doing the work yourselves?
Megan & Chris
We totally need a milk card!! We go through so much freaking milk- When I was growing up our local store would do a thing like that on their loyality card- but they stopped it when the price of milk sky rocketed and I haven't seen in since. So Jealous! haha
Cute wristlet! I too am amazed that all that stuff can fit in there!
I LOVE your cell phone cover!! Too cute!!
