I found this post in my drafts. I didn't post it at the time because I thought it needed a photo. Because somewhere along the way all posts had to have photos. But it paints its own photo I think. No photo needed.

I know where that superhero trading card came from! That made me smile!

"Petrified Peanut M & M's" and "five teeny legs from a dead spider" made me laugh! And what did your fortune say?! Something wonderful that has come to pass, I hope! :)

I love this. (And yes, I'm also wondering what the fortune said. :) )

so funny yes this post definitely didn't need a photo, such memories you found in your purses

Love this, Liz. You were right. No photo needed. Was the Starbucks gift card still full? I hope so for you to treat yourself :)
