My Sister's Purse

Before I get to the card I made for this post, I should probably give you a little background.  I'm the youngest of 3 girls and grew up in a house where hand-me-downs were the norm.  Of course, as a bratty little girl this really bothered me.  As an adult, not so much.  I still get hand-me-downs from my 2 older sisters and I LOVE it!  Purses, shoes, clothes, wallets, household items, and even shampoo they decided they didn't like all come my way.  Which is fine with me...less money spent on clothes = more money spent on stamps!

My oldest sister is addicted to purses.  She loves them, and I have many, many, many of her old ones.  A few years ago I was with her when she put down a good chunk of change on a purse, and I automatically "called" it when she was finished.  She told me that it would never come to my hands because it was such a nice purse.  Being out of my bratty little sister mode,  I was okay with that.  And to my surprise she carried that purse for a long time - much longer than any of the other ones she has purchased.  Here's a picture of it:

Well, last weekend, she handed me the purse.  See, she had recently upgraded to another one and felt guilty that this one was just sitting in the top of her closet not doing anything.  (There was also a new Bon Jovi CD tucked inside for me, but that is another story!)

So, I wanted to write her a thank you note for giving up a purse that she loved.  I'm still unclear as to whether or not this is "my" purse or if it is just on loan.  I probably should clarify that.   Here's my card:

I hope she likes it and thinks about her my purse when she sees it!

Thanks for looking!
