A few months ago I treated myself to a new purse. My old purse was still in fine shape but it was way to small, especially for a mom of three toddlers! I needed something I could throw a change of pants into (thanks to my newly potty trained kids). I needed something I could throw my new camera into. I needed something that had room for all the junk Nick wants me to carry whenever we're out (his phone, gum and wallet). Obviously this purse would need to be on the large side!
I saw some cute ones at Kohls and Target but then realized I wanted something original. Something that 1 out of every 100 women at church wouldn't have too. I turned to Etsy. I love Etsy! Not only has Etsy allowed me to earn a little money doing something I love, but it's also a super fun place to window shop. I have my eye on some fun jewelry, a sweet camera bag and a nifty camera strap just to name a few items!
After days of browsing on Etsy, I finally found a bag I loved. It would go with all of my various coats and it was big enough to hold all my stuff!
Contest will run until 9am Sunday the 21st and the winner will be announced Monday morning! Only open to US Residents.

Those fleece hats are darling! I also love anything personalized. When I was little, there weren't many things with "Renee" on them. :) It's a nice touch that you can choose your fabric as well. Love it! And maybe someday, I'll sort out my old t-shirts and have a quilt made!
Ok...shared on FB. :)
And shared on Twitter...even though I only have 2 followers there... ;)
I like the diaper bag. And honestly my 2 yr old re & re & resewn back together bag should be laid to rest.
I looked and I like the personalized polkadotted b/w cosmetic bag best - the same one shown in your post. Dots are just happy to me!

I like the modern floral cosmetic bag...but I also like the ones where you can pick your own fabric (especially the brown/pink fabrics!) and have it personalized. Very cute!
I follow your blog!
I like the brown with blue circles.
Helen you know I love this stuff since I bought that diaper bag. It came in the mail a few weeks ago and it is loaded for the hosiptal. She even did our full last name instead of a monogram. The fabric is such quality too!

I love the little fleece hats but sadly there's not much call for them in Arizona. I think I'd choose one of the medium or large diaper bags. :-)

I am a total sucker for anything with a name. Hence, my love of "The Princess and the Frog"hat. Even though I don't have a toddler, or anybody with a small enough head! ;)
OK I LOVE that diaper bag, but don't need it... yet.
I also like the Alabama purse (sans the Alabama logo - no offense). Does she do custom designs... like more traditional patters? I need a new purse now that we're ditching the diaper bag...
I just wanted to say thank you for all the great comments and a special thanks to Helen for asking me to have this giveaway. It has been a great experience! I can't wait to see who the winner is and which bag is picked for the prize. I welcome any emails, custom orders or comments that ya'll have. Thanks again for this oppurtunity.

I'm loving the Alex diaper bag...which I would SO use as a purse.
You know I follow your blog, Helen. How could I not? It's my first stop the minute I hit my computer (even if I don't get to read blogs as much as I used to! booooo)
Of course I tweeted!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the diaper bag!!! And with three on the way I may need to get myself one of those!! :)
Commented on facebook!

Honestly everything was cute, but every girl can use a new cosmetic bag...they just get yucky after a while!! Thanks for the give~a~way...it's always fun to enter!
Her shop is amazing! My favorite is this http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27071944 purse!!
If I hadn't just spent a small fortune on a new Vera Bradley I'd make a purchase. Her prices are amazing!!!!
