MommaNotes:
Okay, so thank you Beth @ Total Mom Haircut for tagging me! We're talkin' bags and here's my most recent fave bag purchase! 
I was so excited to find this bag on Etsy at the Brooke Melody shop!
I was so excited to find this bag on Etsy at the Brooke Melody shop! It isn't a diaper bag; isn't even large enough for a diaper or sippy (although Brooke Melody does have some bags that would work). But my goal in buying this was solely to get myself a Christmas gift...one that was small enough that I absolutely couldn't fit anything related to diapers or wipes in it (well, okay I have wipes in there...mostly for sticky or stinky gas pump hands). It's my out on my own bag, my night out with the hubby bag or my run to the store sans Elebelly bag. Of course, I have the Skip Hop diaper bag (got for free with my Moxie Moms membership), the backpack diaper bag that I got hoping my hubby would carry it. But I'm trying to lighten the load...and hopefully will have a potty trained Elebelly soon where I don't always have to carry a diaper and wipe in my bag.
So, Beth wants to know how much it cost...I am almost tempted to leave ya'll hanging and have you guess. BUT, I will share...it was $20. And for a handmade, unique bag, I felt that was more than affordable. I would have spent double I love it so much...but don't tell Brooke Melody that ;). I almost didn't want to share my find because I feel like it's my little secret...but now you all know. And FYI, Brooke Melody is in the process of developing a new line and has many bags, etc. in the shop on sale...
And now, without further ado, I tag:
- Margie over at Gunning It
- Mel over at Mel's Box of Chocolates
- Amy at Occupation Mommy
- Jo-Lynne at Musings of a Housewife
Ladies, show us your bags! Follow the directions at Beth's post here. Let me know when your post is up so I can hop on over and check it out.

Great bag! I too sell on Etsy..and love it. A hint..you don't even have to carry wipes in your bag for the gas pump if you carry a set of old gloves in the car...learned that from the husband! Keeps yer hands clean and saves on paper! And they are great in case you have to check oil, tire pressure etc. I also wanted to ask how you did such a sweet job on your blogspot page?! I have several blogs and don't like what they have to offer. Did you download a the layout from somewhere or did you do your own HTML? off to check out her bags...

LOVE the bag...I might have to get another bag for myself as well :-) i'll let you know when my post is up!
That is SUCH a cute bag! I can always talk handbags. Will post later this week. :-)
You know, I am totally tickled to death by this blog, and you actually got me a sale from it!
You are too sweet, and thank you!
I am so glad you like your bag :)

20$ Wow. You beat me on that one! And it's gorgeous too. I love Etsy. Oh how I love it. I'll be sure and check out your links. And I totally understand the need for the me bag - the one for non-kid outings and non-kid things. That's one of the biggest challenges with my new Bag is that I should use it always, even if the kids aren't around. I'll admit it's a little large for that.
Thanks for playing!
That's adorable! I have never been on Etsy, because I know I would probably be in the poorhouse in less than 90 days! Everything that everyone has is ridiculously adorable.
I think I'm going to need to check out Etsy now. My husband may not like you anymore!! Got the tag and am working on my post now so come over soon to check it out. Hope you are having a great week.
Thanks ladies for checking out my bag...and for commenting. And sorry in advance to the hubbies for turning the gals onto my new fave place to shop...Etsy! I'm hooked on supporting handmade and local...well at least as much as I can.
Cute bag! And thanks for the tag. I will get my post up later this week.
That is adorable! Etsy is my go-to for unique gifts - it's a kind of well-kept secret so you know you can find one-of-a-kind things that no one else will have (like your bag!)
I love the bag I'm carrying right now- perhaps I'll have to play!
Great purse. I didn't have such a cute one to post but I did it anyway. Stop by!
