Purse Problematics

Yesterday, I lost my credit card. Unfortunately, it took standing in line with a cart full groceries before I realized that my plastic lifeline was not in the side pocket of my purse as it should be. So what do you do in this situation? Do you put everything back? Do you insist that they hold it and you'll be right back?

I did neither. I walked off like I had forgotten to grab a carton of eggs, discarded my basket in a deserted aisle--- and fled. I know, cowardly, but I blame the ADT. It's responsible for poor decision making, you know.

When I was safely in my car, I panicked. Did I leave it at work? Did the Starbucks lady give it back? I searched the console and the floors, but no luck. I drove home hoping maybe it was in the pocket of my work jeans. It wasn't.
After throwing bags, clothes, and bedsheets around my room, I dumped my purse for a final check. It took several minutes of shuffling before I found it. Clearly, my purse needs work. As you can see in the picture, I have quite a lot of crap.But I have found the solution! (Because I really do need all of this stuff). It's a placemat purse organizer that anyone with a sewing machine can make. How cute and thrifty!

  1. You and your organization methods. But seriously, that is pretty awesome. That small purse I have now drives me crazy because I need more space, but once I have the space, I lose everything. Perfect solution!

  2. I've been there with the credit card. Day before my wedding I had to go to Michaels and buy some fancy knick knacks for the tables and my card was DECLINED. I was so embarrassed. I said I would be right back and I just cried in the car. Thankfully, Barrett came up and took care of everything.


    Oh and I LOVE the fancy bag container thing. I need that for switching my purse to Penelope's baby bag.
