TAG 1
The first one is the Handbag Tag from ECL and here are the rules.
Find a safe quiet place free of significant others, nosey meme makers, priests, nuns, all things religious and men in general. (If you're a guy just reverse this process to male and tell us about your wallet, tool box, briefcase or metro sexual accessory.)
1. Dump the contents of your handbag in a pile.
2. Take a photo of your handbag and the contents.
3. Be brave and 'splain to your fellow bloggers what lurks inside the handbag.
4. Tag others who might want to embarrass themselves.
5. Answer these questions:
Describe the contents of your handbag. See my list below.
What's the most important thing in your handbag? my hand cream
What's the most embarrassing thing in your handbag? too many perfumes
What's the smallest thing in your handbag? nail clippers
Is there anything illegal in your handbag? no
Contents of my bag.
1. a black JAG wallet
2. a pen.
3. old rail tickets
4. my perfumes...Chanel # 5 ..Red Door and Beautiful (depending on my mood)
5. a Rolex watch ..that I never wear (I haven't worn a watch in 12 years)
