My Minnie Purse

In fall 2011 our family took a trip to Disney World - our favorite vacation destination. On the last day of our trip we were shopping for last minute momentos. As I was making my decisions I kept coming back to a handbag. I didn't need a new purse. I wasn't really sure what I'd do with it; but, I just couldn't seem to walk away.

Because of the pattern on the purse each one was just a little different. I sorted through every one before finding my favorite - Minnie was positioned perfectly between the two pockets. :)

I didn't use my new purse right away. It has a big center pouch and I generally don't carry a lot of stuff with me but one sunny day I thought it would be nice to carry around a cheerful bag and it has become my favorite purse ever since.

I love the two pockets - for carrying a small camera and my phone but loving the pockets wasn't the biggest surprise - the surprise has been all the comments I get from others when I am carrying this purse. Perfect strangers stop to ask me where I got my purse. (They seem to look a little sad when I inform them I got it at Disney World - Vs., I suppose, the local department store.) I also hear a lot of comments like, "that is such a cute purse" or I LOVE your purse!"

Before my cheerful purse gets raggedy from wear I decided I should take a few photos - and why not create a page - Something that draws so much attention is worth remembering. :)

Thank you for all of your comments. Tina you are too sweet! Dale the font was free online - I am not certain of the website I got it from at this point I've had it for several years. Try googling for it. and Linda - good luck with your purse search. I saw one in white on Amazon.com (search for Disney Mickey Mouse Cartoon Handbag Purse White Pockets) :)

Wow, this layout is soo cute. I am always so busy scrapping grandkid pics that I don't ever take time to think outside the box. We are going with our whole family in July. I may look for a bag like yours, if you don't mind.

What a great page Tami. Where did you get the Disney font? I have heard you can download different fonts, but I have never tried it. Of course, I love anything Disney.

What a great page! LOVE it! Makes my creative genes going (they got sluggish with a very busy Christmas month). Makes me wish I could go to Disney World also. Thanks for this cute idea.

I feel like I can grab the purse handles from the focal photo and yank it right out of the picture. The background paper is, of course, a perfect color match for your bag. Fan-tastic.

First of all, you never need a reason to buy a new purse. This one is sooooo adorable! Love the page. Minnie would approve!
