It's Been Awhile

Pink Purse Creative took a bit of a hiatus. I had the opportunity to work as an Account Director for a local design agency for the past six months. It was a fabulous gig and I learned a ton! But now it's back to living my dream and driving forward with my passion.

You'll be hearing from me more often and seeing new designs posted in my Etsy shop soon. Right now I'm busy, busy, busy getting ready for two holiday shows. The first one is a private party this weekend where I'll be showcasing holiday gift tags, cards and the cutest new cozy pattern. The second is the following weekend and it is the Second Annual Legendary Run Arts and Crafts Show. If you're in the Cincinnati area, stop by! There will be ceramics, ornaments, jewelry, photography, silk floral arrangements, oil painting, pastel drawings plus my handmade cards and gifts.

Hope to see some of you there. Let me know you read my blog and receive 10% OFF your purchase.

You really want to know what's inside my purse.

Yes, to start off, my purse really is pink. That's where the name came from since it really stands out and becomes a great conversation starter. I believe these are two important aspects of myself and brand...I want to stand out and have my designs be a conversation starter.

Back to my purse and what's inside. I would say I'm a typical female and carry some pretty standard stuff in my purse.

• my passport - unfortunately, no trips planned in the near future
• OTC allergy meds
• Clinique Raspberry Glace lipstick
• Maybelline Plum Crazy lipstick
• a receipt from Lookout Joe's - from this morning, got myself a mocha
• a blue lighter
• my car key with mini measuring tape keychain
• Ghirardelli Caramel Chocolate
• a pair of earrings (they belong to my sister, Nina)
• the list from this morning orientation class for JSFG
• A Red Robin brochure - Neighborhood Programs
• a room key holder from Hampton Inn, Shelbyville, IN
• half of a Butlers Irish Mint Truffle
• my iPhone
• a blue Sharpie
• a Quaker Chewy chocolate chip granola bar - I know, I love chocolate!
• a sample size tube of Aveda hand relief - best stuff on earth
• 2 tubes of lancome Juicy Tubes (1 Jelly, 1 Smoothie)
• a Delta pack of tissues
• receipt from Red Robin
• a pen
• a mint
• a bottle of almost gone ibuprofen
• 2 packs of cigarettes - I know, I should quit
• my wallet, no cash so don't even think of stealing it

That's all I have in my purse. My initial observation...why so many lipsticks?
