Giveaway Day!

 

It’s the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway day… or should I say week!

This is my third time being a part of this amazing giveaway day and I seriously get more and more excited each time! It features so many talented and creative people and artists and it opens you up to so many new and amazing blogs.

So for those of you who are new to me… hello!!! I’m happy that you stopped by, even if it is just to check out what’s up for grabs. Believe me, I’m super in love with it and I’m sure you will be too!

In fact, I’m debuting something special for you all! Several weeks ago, I dreamt of this amazing ruffle bag. I’m one of those people who absolutely loves vintage sheets and can’t help but give them a new fantastic life. So I’ve turned them into this…



It is absolutely everything I could have dreamt it to be and more. It puts me in such a great mood when I wear it. And I get compliments every time I am out and about with it.

You can see why right?!

It can fit quite a bit. Your wallet, keys, sunglasses, lip glosses, gloves (or mittens), notebooks, ipad, pens, coloring books, plastic dinosaurs (hey, I have a kiddo!) and seriously… more. I’m not making this up either! It’s a super roomy bag! But hey, maybe you don’t carry all that. It’s ok! They’re so beautiful that even when you’re only carrying your wallet, keys and sunglasses, you’ll still want to wear it.

Up for grabs is one of the Vintage Ruffles Bags from my shop. I have several to pick from so it’s winners choice!


No hoops and loops to enter here! Just simply leave me a comment. Random comments are fine. Your favorite color is fine. Or even your favorite ice cream. Any comment will do!

But if you’d like another entry, you can go ahead and tweet about it, leave a comment with not just your twitter name, but your status link. No link, no entry. Sorry!

And for those of you who don’t live in the US… you’re still able to win! It’s open to everyone!

Giveaway ends on December 16, 7pm Central Standard Time.

Thanks again for stopping by! And good luck!

 

I’d love to have you follow me and my blog but remember, GFC (google friend connect) will be shutting down in the next couple months so you might want to add me to your reader HERE or follow me on facebook or twitter get daily updates. And if you’re as addicted to pinterest as I am, you can follow me on that HERE too :)
