A Little Bit of Happy for Me!

Happy Independence Day to one and all! 

I am spending the holiday weekend with my daughter and her family! 

Lots of food and fun for all:)

I enjoy new handbags almost as much as I enjoy new shoes! However, I shared with you several month's ago that I have converted to Miche Bags because I hate changing everything over from one bag to another. I end up with 10 (or 20) bags all with something left in them. Then when I try to find something I left behind, I can't remember which bag I left it in. Too much frustration! Enter...the Miche Bag! One base bag for each size and you just change the shell and go!!! I have two sizes: the Prima because I love a BIG bag and the Classic for those times when a big bag is too much!

Did I show you my new Miche Shell for Summer? Oh, my! I LOVE it! 

I waited for several months for this shell to go on Throwback Thursday and FINALLY it did. With shipping I was able to make this shell mine for under $20!!! My daughter says it is so me...and she's right!!! Picture it with the black handles of my Prima Base Bag. Look at the roomy pockets on the outside. There is a big pocket on the other side that my planner fits in perfectly!

So, before Christmas last year I purchased the brown Classic Base Bag (on sale) and told my daughter I wanted this green shell for Christmas...

Green is my favorite color...can you tell?!!! I love the contrast of the green and brown. Can you believe that the shell attaches to the base bag with MAGNETS! What a clever idea! And check out my new Sweet Life Planner in the foreground:) So happy to be getting organized! 

Since I check out the Miche website almost every Thursday to see what the Throwback Thursday deal is, I found this beauty last week...

Cute! Cute! Cute! I wear a lot of fall colors so these two bags are perfect for Fall and Winter!

If you are interested in checking out Miche Bags click on the link for Gizell's website (my personal Miche Representative). And don't forget to check out Throwback Thursday--Thursdays starting at 8:00 am till gone! Click on "regular sale items" to find the Throwback Thursday deal:)

Thanks for letting me share my new obsession with you! Enjoy the holiday weekend and stay safe!

M is for My Favorite Things

Another day of the A to Z Blogging Challenge! Tomorrow will be the half-way point--Woo Hoo! The letter M was really hard because I had several directions to go. But finally I decided what would tell you the most about me would be to list some of My Favorite Things.

I don't know what's going on with my blog but yesterday's post seems to be wonky. I am so sorry but don't know what to do to fix it. 

My Favorite Things (just a few):

• Hugs from my granddaughter
• Time spent with good friends
• Debbie Macomber books
• Iced drinks--water, tea, Chai
• Stampin' Up! stamps, ink and paper
• Miche Bags
• Lined-dried sheets
• Dove dark chocolate
• Ice Cream--actually non-dairy frozen dessert
• My iPad
• Shoes--I'm a shoeaholic!
• Yoga Pants--and I don't even do Yoga:)
• Yarn--especially natural fibers
• The color lime green
• Comments on my blog posts:)

Well, that's it for today--short and sweet! 

Tomorrow is the letter N and so far I've got Nothing! Hmmm...that may be the post for tomorrow!

What are a few of your favorite things?

Update on Miche

Good morning friends!

In my last post I told you about my new love affair with Miche and how I missed out on last week's Throwback Thursday Deal for an adorable red wristlet for just $9.95 because I hesitated! Well, this morning I checked on the Throwback Thurday Deal and it is (was) a Prima Shell in a reddish brown color for...wait for it...only $12.95! I was sooo excited! The Prima Shells regular prices are between $39.95 and $69.95! And, yes, that is a picture of it at the top! While I was at it I ordered a brown Classic Shell in the sale section for $14.95! I can hardly wait till it gets here!!! Shipping doesn't take very long; I will receive my order via FedEx early next week!

If you are at all interested in Miche Bags, be sure to check out Throwback Thursday (in the sale section) at 8:00 a.m. (Pacific Time); any later and you might miss out!

I will be back a little later with a stunning swap card I received in the mail yesterday!

Have You Heard of Miche Bags?

I was going to wait till after Christmas to do a post about Miche Bags but I am so excited about them I couldn't wait! So maybe I'll do another one after Christmas:)

Why am I so excited about Miche Bags? I saw my first Miche Bag about two years ago at a county fair and was smitten. I LOVE having different purses for different outfits but HATE to change purses! I have 10+ purses and every time I change purses something gets left behind so all these purses have something in them. Things get lost...what purse did I leave that in? With Miche, you buy one, two or three Base Bags--for me they would be different sizes--then purchase Shells to change the look of your bags! Tada! No changing purses!!! The Shells attach to strong magnets on the Base Bag! What a brilliant idea!!!

My favorite sized bag is a large tote bag which I carry most of the time. Occasionally it is nice to have a smaller bag, especially when going to a wedding, funeral, out to a nice dinner, etc. Currently I carry this bag...

It is beautiful! I love it! But what about when I want to carry a black purse? Or a red one? Then I have to dump everything out, transfer some of the items to another purse and...same old problem:(

Last summer I ran into Gizell Camero at the Oregon State Fair and chatted with her a bit, looked over the merchandise and was smitten all over again. However, I didn't think I wanted to spend $39.95 for the Prima (big) Base Bag I wanted plus $44.95 for my first shell. So I waited and checked Gizell's website frequently, hoping for a sale. Finally about a month ago, Miche had a 1/2 off sale for the base bags!!! Woo Hoo! I jumped on it getting my black base bag for $20 + shipping. This is my new Miche Base Bag in black...

 Not much to look at but I can change the look with any of these Prima Shells.

Now I have the Morgan Shell on my Christmas Wish List:) And am lusting after this bag which is part of their Hope line for Breast Cancer Awareness...

I can purchase a set of braided handles that will go quite nicely!

Plus, did you know Miche has a Throwback Thursday where starting at 8:00 am till sellout, they offer an item for up to 90% off? I had a cute red wallet type clutch in my shopping cart but was hesitating. It was only $9.95, WHY was I hesitating?!!! When I got back to the shopping cart an hour later, the item was gone. PLUS...

Friday November 29th-Monday December 2nd 12am-12pm, BLACK FRIDAY - CYBER MONDAY, www.gizell.miche.com, stay on the lookout, Miche LOVES to surprise us with AMAZING deals!

Well, now that I have shared my new addiction with you I am off to get ready for Happy Stampers Club (tomorrow--eek!) and to finish my swap cards so they can get in the mail tomorrow.

Have a great day!
