My 2nd Bloggy Giveaways Carnival - Hand Made Bag

~ This contest is now CLOSED. I will post the winner soon. Thank you so much to everyone who left comments... you are all very kind! ~
Hello everyone! And, thanks for stopping by my blog. This is my second time participating in the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival, and I'm happy to announce that I will once again be giving away a hand made, by me, one-of-a-kind bag. This bag is a large carry all and will be perfect for books, diapers, or any other bulky things you need to carry around. The strap is adjustable and is meant to be worn across the body for the most comfort. Also, just like last time, this bag is made with recycled materials. So, if you win, you can feel good about wearing it because you will be helping out the environment.




This contest is open to everyone... bloggers, non-bloggers, US and international (one comment per person please). To be entered in the drawing just leave a comment on this post, and at the end of the week I will randomly select a winner. All I ask is that you leave a way for me to contact you... either an email address or a link to your blog.

Also, I'm starting a new business selling pre-made (and possibly custom designed) blogger templates. If you've got a minute to spare, please visit my new blog, and take the polls that I put in the side bar. This isn't a condition of entering this contest, but I would really love all of your opinions to help me create the best site possible. To go there just click on the image below, and thanks in advance for your help!




Thanks again for stopping by, and GOOD LUCK! Don't forget to head on back to the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival for lots more great prizes!

(this is a sticky post and will be at the top of my blog until the end of the giveaway which, for me, is at 11:59 EST on 4/25/08)
