We bought this couch shortly after moving here(that's a whole different story). However, it didn't come with pillows and I wanted pillows. So, I hunted pillows forever! I looked at about 5 stores, looked online and then finally just made the decision one day that I was going to buy some that day so I could move on with my life. I went to Kohls and spent about an hour picking these bad boys out. I am horrible at decisions! I mean, what if I buy pillows I think are perfect and then find some I like more(or more important) see a better deal somewhere else?! For that reason I even get on my own nerves when I shop! Anyway, found these and love them.
Then, I wanted a new bag. Once I got it in my mind I couldn't think about anything else! I started looking in stores, but couldn't find one I liked at a price I liked. Then I'd convince myself I really didn't NEED a bag. Anyway, at a fabric store one day patterns were on sale for 99cent, so what did I do. Bought a bag pattern. I then found some fabric I already had and made this bag. 
Next...I wanted a FAMILY sign to go over these two pictures I have. I looked at two or three stores and of course online again. Then last week I remembered a friend of mine gave me a kit that had FAMILY on it. I tweaked it a bit till I liked it and made this FAMILY sign to go over my pictures. I still don't LOVE it, but it was free and that I do love.
There you have it Caitlyn...confessions.

Uh oh, Kristin -- you sound just like me! I absolutely hate shopping for all the same reasons. I feel for you, girl.
Hey, Kristin--I don't know where you get your OCD from . . . I will think about that. In fact, I'll think about it until I figure it out. And think about it and think about it . . . I love your pillows and your bag and your sign. Good work, Kristin. Keep it up ! I love you. And, by the way, this is Dad's computer, Mom talking. He showed this to me. You are so cute! I love you.
He he he!
I love the family sign. For reals. It's totally cute and I love the colors! The pillows too....and te couch! I am so glad Monty scared those people away and you guys got it! And your bag is adorable. I think you're going 'Martha Stewart' on me!...and I love it!
See...here's the thing with me and shopping that makes it easier. I buy it and then if I don't like it or find one I like better then I return it or give it as a gift to someone! If I find it cheaper...well...most stores will price match....or I return the one I bought and get the cheaper one I found. Crazy...I know. But the good news is i rarely get to shop because there's NO place to shop where I live.
I'm the same way. It takes me a while to make decor decisions. I have to find just the right thing before I purchase anything and it has to be the right price:) I've been lucky with finding fun decor at Ross and the prices are AWESOME there. The family sign is really cute...love it. Love your picture frames too. You did a great job on the bag. Do you have a sewing machine? Or did you sew it by hand?
