I got an exciting little package in the mail yesterday, my Snaptotes affiliate cards!

I get comments on these wherever I go, and just in time for the holidays, I can save you $$ on your order!

You can also order giftcards like the super cute "bucket bag box" that got me started - thanks again, Mom, what a great Christmas gift that was!

They have lots of different shapes and sizes, you can customize one or both sides, and choose your liner color, and their quality is unmatched. I'm just DYING to get our new family photos back from Olivia, and who knows, I just might have to treat myself to another bag for my big 3-0! :)

Snappy New Clutch

I've talked about Snaptotes before, I'm in love with them. They make GORGEOUS photo handbags, and their quality is amazing. They also have a lot of contests and discounts, and recently offered a FREE CLUTCH to everyone who posted a facebook photo of their bag! That's over a $50 deal, FREE! Of course I complied, and I chose a couple photos from my last two trips to New York - the one above was 2007 on a harbor cruise, and the one below is the same sexy trio on the boardwalk at Coney Island.



It arrived today, and it looks AWESOME! I actually can't believe the quality, the photo doesn't do it justice, it is really cool. Even the inside is well built - you could choose from several liners, and I went with bright red - there's also a key strap inside and a big zippered pocket - I wasn't expecting that level of detail in this little purse, but it's really nice.



It has a big wrist strap, but since I carry huge purses most of the time I'll probably use it for a makeup bag or wallet inside of my larger purse. I'm so stoked! I'm also hoping our family photo shoot goes well enough next weekend so that I can order another larger purse with new pics :)

Snaptotes

Here's another "favorite" source: snaptotes! This is one side of the bucket purse I designed after my mom gave me a gift card a few years ago. I LOVE IT!

I chose photos of my favorite boys, the hubs & the dog on one side, just the dog on the other (hubs wasn't too keen on being in the picture in the first place). These are again by the amazing Olivia Wagner, who we had a mini session with right around our 1st anniversary in 2007. It was a gorgeous day and the grass at Lake Harriet was a beautiful lime green - Normy really "popped" in comparison. She did an amazing job capturing hundreds of images as we just rolled around playing with the dog. Normy was naughty of COURSE and right away slipped his collar and bolted across the packed park when we walked away (his grandma was supposed to be wrangling him) and as a result he has his harness on in all the photos. C'est la vie, at least we kept hold of him then.

Anyways, I chose the bucket bag style with is perfect - big enough for all the junk I carry around but not overwhelming or tote bag-ish. It has black trim and a black bottom with little feet, which really help keep it clean, and the images are just amazing and bright. I chose a lime green lining to match the grass in the photos, and I love it. There is a zippered pocket inside and two open pockets perfect for a cell phone and wallet.

Costco used to sell a gift card that was good for one bucket bag at a really great savings, but I don't see it on their site anymore. Even at regular price they're a pretty good deal, and they have other things like messenger bags, diaper bags, wallets, you name it.

I'll eventually get another one, when I come up with a photo I like enough. Maybe when I'm in NYC in a couple weeks I'll take something smashing? :)
