GIVEAWAY!!

Ok, y'all.  If you have read my blog or know me, you know how much I love sewing and crafting and all things handmade.  I am always making things and for sometime now I have been wanting to start my own etsy shop and/or sell my goods.  I have dabbled a little bit in some things for friends and family, but have always been apprehensive about marketing it on etsy.  My main goal is to make things that people love and that I am proud of.  I love making people happy!
So, an oppportunity came up where I got the chance to make one of my bags for a blog idol of mine! :)  She just happens to be the cousin of one of my dear friends and she is awesome!  Ashley over at Ashley's Avenue is so incredibly down to earth and a woman of incredible faith.  The reason I love her and her blog so very much is because she is so real.  She is herself in every sense of the word and shows all of us that we can still be cute and fashionable without breaking the bank.  She inspires me to use my faith to be a better person, wife, mother and blogger:)!

So, in talking with her after she received the bag, I have decided to do a giveaway right here on my blog for my one of a kind bags (made with Amy Butler's fringed hobo pattern) to kick off me starting an etsy shop!!!  Yay!!!  And the best part of it all, I am going to let the winner choose the colors for their bag and rosettes!  I am so excited about it!

Leave a comment with your email on this post and I will randomly pick a winner next Thursday May 19 , 2011.

And by all means, please go visit Ashley and her sweet blog HERE!!  She truly is lovely:)
