MY FIRST GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!

Last week, over on my Family Blog, I posted pictures of a purse I had made. My inspiration for the purse came from my Mom. She had made me two of this style, and was kind enough to also send me the pattern.

I went right out and bought some fabric to try to make one myself. I had SOOO much fun making it, that I thought it might be nice if I made one to give away as a kind of "Grand Opening" gift for this new blog.

So here it is...




It's made of 100% cotton (that has been pre-washed), so it's washable. It has ties on the side for adjustability. The inside has great little organizational pockets for all your important necessities , and it has a removable bottom, which is also washable (just remove cardboard insert).

Don't you just LOVE the color combo, and what can I say about that Button? Isn't it just to die for?

Well, I don't want any of you to die for it, but if any of you would like to win it, here's what you need to do to enter the Giveaway:
1. PLEASE leave me a Comment!!
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
2. Become a FOLLOWER of this blog.

Wow, thats it!! Just two simple things. How hard could that be?

You can enter up till Midnight Saturday, July 17th, and I will announce the winner on Sunday, July 18th. Be sure to do both steps.

Good Luck, and Thank You for coming to my Grand Opening.
