Smiles...that's what I love!

I am a mother, wife, sister, friend, mentor, student, traveler, daughter, and photographer. I consider myself an observer as well as a participant in life.

Not Yo Mommas Handbag
is a series of handbag creations
that I have named for the friends, family and mentors in my life...

They are all different,

they are tough as nails,
but sweet on the inside...

Each NYMH comes with a new name, background description, and a special token of appreciation for the new owner.

If you would like to know a little more about my purses, their names, how they are made, I write about it nearly everyday.....
