I have proof that there was a miniature sized photographer in my room while I was gone, as well as a model...

I'm impressed by the skill of a 3 year old...I'm not much better than she is for that matter.

Well, this isn't really a vase...it's not waterproof...but I didn't know what else to call it. :)

Anyway, I started with a regular poster tube.

As you can see, I was a little too excited and forgot to take the picture without anything in the tube. Ahem.

I just took some yarn, secured it with tape on the bottom (If you really wanted to do it right, you should probably use glue but I was too lazy for that) and wrapped it tightly around the tube. And around. And around.

The yarn is in place...

Finished product!

I need a new purse. My old one has primer on it (It got on there because I walked into a freshly primed door while renovating this summer...I'm kind of clumsy...), looks a little "beat up", and honestly, I want a new purse. :)

I've been kind of shopping around, nothing serious...I need to have a bag that's fairly large. I carry books, a change of clothes (only for sleepovers though...I'm not THAT prepared!)...pretty much everything.

These purses are some of my favorites that I've found...

Left "Mod Yoke Tote", right "The Charlie Bag"

Left "Belle Tote", middle "Blooming Pink Flower Bag", right "Pandora"

Left "Yellowtree Rounded Tote", right "Lydia"

I love them all (can you tell I have a thing with grey and pink?)...I would love your opinions, though! What do YOU think?

I can't decide. ;)

This is what we go through (almost) every time we take a picture...

I couldn't help laughing along with them. :)
