While frantically packing up the family to head north to our church’s Family Life Retreat, it occurred to me that I had not posted this week’s new thing!  Let me be honest, while I LOVE my new thing this week, I was really hoping for it to be something else.  There are a couple of big things on the horizon, but keeping true to the norm for our family, things are “held up”.

So, on to what I did actually do this week.

Remember when I showed you my make up bag?  What I didn’t share is how OVER the actual bag I am.  I do not really like pilfering through to find what I need.  For months and months, I’ve been pining away over this bag at Ulta.  At $28, it was a little more than I wanted to pay (hence all the waiting).  Last week, though, Ulta sent out a 20% off your ENTIRE purchase coupon and I figured it was time to get it.  When I got there I found the exact bag in a discontinued print marked down to $15.99 (and I still got the 20% off).

And, while I’m not crazy about the colors:

The inside makes me so very happy.  And calm.

So what about you?  Did you do something new?

    Oh my goodness, I just went to look at the bags and saw a print I really liked and guess what it said on the front? TRINA & CO. I think it’s a sign or something. LOL :)
