"Honey, it was just a short trip today and only a few items why are you so upset."

I have two images for this WA and am not sure which one to use. Feedback on this one would be greatly appreciated.

Ha.. Youve met my wife !!

Great picture and idea, I suppose in order to get the bags you had to buy something in each shop.
Best of luck

Oh Karen, your heart is definitely in the right place!
Excellent entry. The composition is great with the tight cropping and perfect placement of the shopping bags...
(and the exquisite choice of stores)

Karen, your work is so clean and always presents itself so well. I have no doubt that either one is a winner!

Great take and picture of a costly obsession !
My only concern is that my brain is trying to convice me the addict is a woman but it has no clue (don't know why it stupidly wants it to be a woman affair :-) ).
