Filled with a loving note from my Parents, a Christmas Ornament, a book, some knitting, a note pad, chocolate and gift card to shop with; it is what I go to when I need a time out. I'm a care-giver to my husband who is currently undergoing chemo therapy. On rough days I quietly sit and hold open the bag of promise and treat myself to a magical moment of serenity, shopping, creativity or adventure...whatever in that moment I need the most to help us both get through those days. I look forward to the coming months when I can bring him outside for a walk and experience an outdoor magic purse moment with him... thank you for letting me share my magic purse story. <br />shannonbrancato@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35560798.post-84868110995628296472010-03-06T11:18:11.152-05:002010-03-06T11:18:11.152-05:00Good morning, April!

When I read through my list of what was in my purse, I realized that I forgot to mention keys!! Yikes, I don't go anywhere without my keys or my purse.

In it I carry a note pad and pen,lipstick, hairbrush,extra pair of pantyhose, a small bag of nuts, my IPOD with its head set, my dogs leash and her empty do do bags. My bible, bank books, pasport and a small lint brush. I would never leave home without my huge wallet and keys. There are a few toys in it for my granddaughters to play with BUT the most magical thing in my purse are the pictures of my family and a small note that is tucked in the corner of my wallet. It is a small worn out and discolored note that is 23 years old It simply says I love you Mumm. When my son was 7 he wrote me this little love note and left it on my purse one morning. Now when ever I am down or feeling sad. I pull out that little worn out piece of paper and read those simple words and like magic they work after 23 years They contiue to put a smile on my face.This little note makes me feel like all is well in my world and I can go on with the hills and valleys life has to offer.<br /><br />djekent@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35560798.post-51203314775024189272010-03-05T15:45:27.419-05:002010-03-05T15:45:27.419-05:00For me, a magic bag will contain the elements that...For me, a magic bag will contain the elements that are the most essential in creating a sense of joy, lightness and well being within and around me as I go through my day.

(BTW, I STILL get compliments on it, and it is old, but so cute!) My make-up bag, lots of lip gloss, scented hand sanitizer (for me), non-scented hand sanitizer (for the hubs), meds, gum, sunglasses as big as Texas (so says the hubs), pens, coupons, lists, lots of Starbucks gift cards and receipts, a bottle of water, keys (some of which go to my parents old cars and house even though I have not lived there in 7 years-ha!), church bulletins, my phone, and often a decorating magazine are found in my huge magic bag. I think most woman could survive days with just what is in their purse. What a fun post! BTW, my parents live in Williston, so my mom's closet looks like an April Cornell store.

Your predecessor, dear purse, was larger and could also hold a calendar/appointment book and a novel. Alas, those are now housed in a separate "just in case" bag that lives in the car.

There is the billfold my husband gave me as a present which has never closed properly. But because it was a gift from him I cherish it and just keep it shut with a rubber band (and make sure he doesn't see it!) Then there is the daily planner that I WRITE all my appointments in. A dear girlfriend gives me a new one every year and I wouldn't trade it for the latest electronic gadget for anything.Because I live in the midwest,I have de-icer to unlock the locks on my car, or those of co-workers, a small flashlight should we lose power during a thunderstorm,a small set of screwdrivers,one of which will repair eyeglasses,a tape measure for whatever needs measuring, and last but not least,a KAZOO. I have carried one in my purse for about 30 years.I was working as a reporter in San Diego covering a parade and someone was handing them out. I put it in my purse and just a few years ago had to replace the original kazoo with a new one. The element of suprise when you start playing one quiets crying babies,defuses tense situations,and keeps folks pretty much on key during those impromptu renditions of Happy Birthday. I believe kazoos are the key to world peace. Buy one. Play it. See what happens.<br />Susan<br />takeahike@rl250.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35560798.post-80729104114673397342010-03-04T22:58:34.083-05:002010-03-04T22:58:34.083-05:00Hi April!

I have always carried a bag, and they always seem to hold so much of who I am. I have in my magic bag an angel, she is there to remind me that my daughter who passed away last year, is always with me. I have a lot of kleenex, I have been crying a lot since my daughter left me. I also have happy things, pictures of my little (maltese) dog and my granddaughters. I have about 4 different shades of lipstick, which by the way I hardly ever where, then again I never know when I might need to wear some! I have hand cleaner, from Bath and Body Works! A comb and mirror. My cell phone that I forget to turn on. Coupons that I always forget about! Discount coupons to resturants that I always use! A calander. I actually have had my little dog in my purse! I know there are some things that I left out, all I can say is my magic bag is quite full! <br />Thank You.<br />Joanne<br />tillyfena@yahoo.comJoannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35560798.post-26548581284739268782010-03-04T21:56:23.972-05:002010-03-04T21:56:23.972-05:00Mine holds:
