Tip: Grab your photos from last year in the 2020 resolution thread. Search your user name and the brand to find your photos.

2. Special Stories
Thanks @Claudia Herzog for the suggestion

Wear a bag that has a backstory involving a person, place, or opportunity for which you feel grateful.

Yeah, those colors... On that birthday trip my favorite moment was sitting outside one of the coffee shops, drinking hot chocolate, with extra whipped cream since it was my birthday, watching the sun set behind those red cliffs. Just... a prefect, glorious moment. I'm attaching a few pics I took on a previous Mother and Daughter trip.

Thanks so much for sharing these. How wonderful it must have been to see this on your birthday with your mother.
We are deep into a winter storm right now and these pictures made my heart sing. They are beautiful studies of texture, color, and light. Very uplifting.

Sometimes patience pays off, but sometimes you have to strike while the iron is hot - or before the bag sells out. I got interested in 'Brandon Blackwood NYC' last summer when PurseBlog did a post that featured his bags. Then they did another one today, and I took another look. I thought about making myself actually wait for my birthday next month, but I'm not a patient person. So, I pulled the trigger. Now the bag is Sold Out! Glad I didn't wait! Clearly I wasn't the only one interested, since it looks like every single one if his bags are now Sold Out, and they weren't at lunch time.

I'm curious to see the bag in person. When it arrives I'll open it to see if I want to keep the bag, but I won't wear it until my birthday, since it is my birthday gift to myself. I've bought more new bags than I should within the last year, but am giving myself a break since the need for retail therapy has been all too real the past 12 months; and the sales have been incredible.

I got the Bianca Puffer. (Yeah, my Maison Margiela Glam Slam bags, and this one... I have a real weakness for the smooshy, puffy bags.) I like that it comes with both a shoulder and crossbody strap. Nylon, so it should be durable. And that color...

Omigoodness we made a verbal agreement to go binding! Submitted the paperwork and waiting for them to sign it.....

It's a lovely home with a ton of windows to overlook the forest andfireplace and pool...

My daughters will love that diving board.....and having not only their own rooms for the first time but their own bathrooms.
I keep refreshing my email to see if they accepted our offer officially!!!

You're very welcome. Glad they could make your heart sing. We're also dealing with a sinter storm, though not nearly as bad as many parts of the country. Most of my photography knowledge comes from Mom, though some from Daddy as well. Thank you for the compliments!

My only yellow bag. Haven't carried it yet!

@Kimbashop Here are a few more.

Now I'll stop with spamming the Southern Utah pics. The two with me in them Mom took.

Here are my orange bags for the color week. Both of these are new within the last 6 months, and I just saw another orange bag that I like yesterday, so apparently I’m on a bit of a tear with this color.

It truly is breathtaking. One of my favorite places in the world.
Last year, to mark a life milestone, we had planned a trip in late Spring. It would have been our second time there as family. I had booked a hogan in Monument Valley (I love Navajo country), and a boat to go fishing around Ticaboo... And then corona came...
