My New Choo Choo {Bag}

I made an absolutely KILLER thrift score Saturday at my local thrift shop!

Some of you may know from a previous post that I carry around my DSLR in an old "choo choo bag"

Cute-Looking Chaos - Photographing the Kids and Dog

Let me just say that I am the WORST holiday procrastinator ever....

I CONSISTENTLY:

-wait until the morning of Valentine's day to get Tristan's valentines

-wait until the Saturday before Easter to get the stuff for Easter baskets

-wait until a few days before Halloween to get costumes

-And wait until like the 20th of December to think to send out Christmas cards.

It never fails!

Time just gets away from me so quickly.

So this year I decided I was going to take a stand against....

well..... myself. 

I had the idea to take the kids out to a cotton field and take some nice Christmasy looking photos because the cotton looks like snow when you look out across it.

I thought I could shop them a little and make our own Christmas cards 

Well, I got the pics taken, I guess we will see how the rest goes....

Bunny couldn't stop playing with the cotton. 

Suitcase Love

When I was growing up we had super old suitcases all over my house.

For decoration, storage, for anything really. 

Old suitcases hold a special place in my heart for sure.

And up until the other day I had no idea just how many i had!  

I even have a very old saxophone case with real velvet inside, that i just adore.  

I'll have to do a whole other post for that one..... 

I also have my little "choo choo bag" where I keep my Camera.

Ok ok.... I'm obsessed...
