If I could turn back time......

I was tagged my my sister Abbi.

Here is the dealio:

Since it's May and all the high school kids are getting ready for prom, I thought it would be fun for my blog friends to post their prom pictures. Don't be shy, girls! Remember the bigger the hair and the poofier the dress, the better!Here are the rules...
1. Upload your prom picture. If you don't have one, email your mom and have her send it to you. That's what I had to do. :)
2. Don't forget to include the year it was taken. Again, don't be shy. The older the better.
3. Grab the "Prom Queen" button on my sidebar and add to your post. Isn't the button adorable? (I didn't grab the button)
4. Copy and Paste the rules to your blog


I tag who ever wants to do this fun little tag

This is Joyia, ME, Sal Gal (Sallie), and Pam. This actually wasn't "my" prom, I was lazy, and didn't want to dig through my boxes and get a 'earlier' prom pictire. Still this is from 1994 - wowza!! And I did have big hair! "If I could turn back time" was actually the theme from one of my proms - hince the title!! I took this pic from Sal Gals facebook, which she tagged me on.

Have fun ladies!!!!!

I'm sooo very special

Well my mom and dad always told me that I was anyway ;-) No, in all seriousness, I do feel very special on many days. I have been awarded with a couple of things, and I've also received a tag.



First off Katie A thrifty Girl's Guide to the Kitchen gave me two awards!! Thanks Katie - sorry for the delay in posting these!!! You ladies need to check out Katie's blog...she has WONDERFUL ideas!!!!!



This award's rules are:

1. Put the logo on your blog or post
2. Nominate at least 10 blogs that show an attitude of gratitude
3. Link to your nominees within your post
4. Comment on their blogs to let them know they've received this award
5. Share the love and link to this post and the person who nominated you for the award.
6. Tell us how you've come to have an attitude of gratitude
I have a attitude of gratitude because of my family – husband, kiddos – sisters/brothers…mothers/dads. I feel like I am very blessed – my mom and dad raised me to always respect, and have gratitude. I try to teach my children the same way. I am blessed, and very happy, I don’t think I could ask for more.






Next Katie gave me this one!!!
Here are the rules:


These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement.

Have a great night ladies!

Tag team back again....

I have been tagged by my good friend The Polka dotted owl who by the way has a awesome give-away going on...go check it out.

The tag is as follows:

1) Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you cannot go up to your closet and pull out that cute little purse you used back before you had kids. I want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house. No cheating!
2) I want to know how much it cost:) And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I’d love to hear it.
3) Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the heck you’re showing everyone your bag.

This is one of my little obessions, along with shoes.....sigh - the loooove :-)

OK - below is the two purses, yes I said two purses that I carried today. I am one of those people that keep either a brown/black purse in the car.....I must match - it irks me not to.

I carried this Dooney & Bourke this morning to church - which I can actually carry this one when I do wear brown...I did buy it for that reason as well. I actually obtained this one with the hubs - on a trip to Universal Studios, we stopped by the outlet, I got this little beauty for only $60.00 - I thought it was a pretty good deal :-)

The Coach I carried tonight to church - or rather I was going to ....... I all ready switched over. We got to church, the kiddos go to kids choir, and Bry started throwing up so we had to leave. Poor thing - Brax had it Thursday, germs started last night........and now poor Bry! I'm doomed! Ok on to the purse - this one I got for Christmas - from my mommy (so I got it for free)!!! I'm so lucky. I do actually have some bigger purses..these are some of my smaller ones.

I had to throw this pic in of my wallet, it's a Dooney and Bourke....the hubs got it for me for Christmas...I've been wanting a BIGGER one...and he surprised me!!! I was sooo happy, I had been carrying my small prada one around - along with another wallet that held my check book. YES I'm one of those people that will carry this D& B with her Coach....Prada, and Channel. But I loves this wallet the hubs did grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!!!

OK I tag (and who ever else wants to do it):

Abbi

Rose

Katie Lake

Ms. Heels

Andrea

Ms. Cup

Brittany

Have fun!!!
