Bloggy Giveaways Carnival

This week is the Fall 2008 Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival, and if you’ve never entered a giveaway carnival, you won’t want to miss this one!  At the time of this writing, there were almost 1200 opportunities to win something.  You’ll need to visit the participating blogs to find out how to enter each giveaway, so if you find the idea of visiting 1200 blogs exhausting, just go through the list and pick the ones that interest you the most.

For my giveaway, I’ll send one lucky winner this triangular-bottom, embellished zip pouch.  It measures approximately 4-1/2″ x 7″, is lined, has a ribbon and bead zip pull, and is sturdy enough to stand up on its flat little bottom.  And you never know, I might just put a little surprise inside (time willing!).  I’ll even pay for shipping.

All you have to do to enter is leave me a comment on this post (and this post only!), and tell me what goodies you would keep in a zip pouch.  Be sure you leave a valid email so I can contact you if you win.  On Sunday, November 2nd at approximately 8 pm Central time, I’ll use a random number generator to pick a winner and will notify her/him by email. You don’t need your own blog in order to enter, just an email address.

If you enter a lot of giveaways, you can go to Bloggy Giveaways this weekend to see a comprehensive list of winners as they are chosen.  Good luck everyone!

    I would love to use this to help organize my purse!

  2. S. on October 28th, 2008 9:32 pm

    What a pretty bag. I would use this for my crochet hooks, and other miscellaneous crochets item in. I think it would be great to use to hold them, and pretty to look at as well! Thank you for a wonderful giveaway :)

  3. tami lewis on October 28th, 2008 9:34 pm

    a new makeup bag for me! hope i win it!

  4. Nise' on October 28th, 2008 9:36 pm

    Lip balm, lipstick, lipgloss, mascara, comb, roll on perfume, etc.

  5. The Chatty Housewife on October 28th, 2008 9:38 pm

    I would use this to hold my crochet hooks, or in my purse for all those little random things, or for makeup! It is SO beautiful! Thanks for the great chance to win! chattyhousewife(at)gmail.com

  6. Kathleen W. on October 28th, 2008 9:38 pm

    That’s really pretty! I’d love to use it in my suitcase for toiletries. Thank you!

  7. daisy on October 28th, 2008 9:42 pm

    This bag is BEE-A-YOU-TIFUL!!! It looks like an exquisite sunset. Loooooove me some purple!

    I love the colors, the stitching, the shape, and the size. It would be my take-my-personal-stuff-to-work bag.

    I just started a new job where I don’t have a permanent office. I just use various desks, so I would use this to put my stuff in that I would want at my desk: chapstick, mini-brush, ibuprofen (my very good friend these days), tweezers, nail clippers, and change.

    But I would want to take it out a few times a day to show it off, so that’s why I’d put my things in there that I use at my desk.

    I can imagine it already. Thank you!

  8. BQkimmy on October 28th, 2008 9:55 pm

    Cell phone, id and the ever important snack bar for my toddler. I hate carrying a big purse so a small zip pouch like this to carry the essentials in is perfect for me.

  9. Jennifer on October 28th, 2008 9:59 pm

    I would keep my make up in it!! Thanks for the chance!

  10. Ang on October 28th, 2008 10:49 pm

    Oh i am an artist i would certainly use it as a little traveling art pouch.

  15. Chelsey on October 29th, 2008 1:30 am

    How inspiring — an empty bag! And it’s a beautiful one… I would put a soother for my son in those rare moments he needs it still, some lip gloss, a pill holder, nail clippers — what possibilities!!! I’d be able to carry those essentials in this bag and put it inside my messenger bag or put it in my stroller when I’m on the road! Thanks for the giveaway!

  16. robin on October 29th, 2008 1:41 am

    That is one beautiful pouch! Love the colors. I am so low maint. that I just have to think way to hard in order to find enough stuff to carry around in a purse. I only need a few things. Okay two; my cell and my debit card. Everything else can stay in the car lol. So… I would prob. carry this beautiful thing as a purse – my debit card, cell phone, keys… I might put a few other things in there, altho’ I’d have to think about it. lol.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  20. Pamela Vest on October 29th, 2008 5:07 am

    To make cahnging purses easier i keep most of the itms n my purse in seperate pouches (I have big purses). so I would either keep make-up or things like gum tweeers and lip balm.

  21. Carol on October 29th, 2008 5:40 am

    It’s lovely, I’d put my makeup in it.

  22. Katy on October 29th, 2008 5:43 am

    I love that bag! It’s so pretty! I like to keep things organized in my purse, so I would probably use it to keep all my purse extras in….like, lip gloss, mirror, extra eyeliner…etc!
    Thanks so much for the chance!

  29. Stephanie on October 29th, 2008 9:39 am

  30. Shari D on October 29th, 2008 10:03 am

    Very pretty! I love the tones.

  33. Paula on October 29th, 2008 12:13 pm

    I like to keep stuff in my bag in (some sort of) order, so I’d use the pouch for all those little items I don’t seem to be able to leave home without.

  34. pamspride on October 29th, 2008 1:53 pm

    I would keep candy, lipstick, my wallet…and my Tums (I don’t leave the house without those this pregnancy!!) in it! Beautiful bag!

  38. Sheryl on October 29th, 2008 6:13 pm

    OH that is really lovely. Love the colors and all the detail! Hmm. . .I could keep it in the diaper bag for “my stuff” or save it for trips where I’d pack hair binders and what not. I think I’d actually put it somewhere where I can look at it cause it’s just lovely! Thank you.

  39. Rhonda on October 29th, 2008 6:35 pm

    Oh that is beautiful! I love the colors, the design, the surprise inside..
    Which brings us to the contents ; I would keep my DVR recorder that I take everywhere and it gets chocolate on it just tossed in my purse, my notepad and pen and address book. I wouldn’t want that pretty little bag soiled.

  45. Deedles on October 29th, 2008 8:34 pm

  55. Kimberly on October 30th, 2008 12:40 pm

    Gorgeous bag! I love those colors…so perfect for the season! My first thought was makeup, but actually I would probably carry it in place of a small purse. It’s too cute to hide!

  59. Kristin on October 30th, 2008 4:26 pm

  61. Lessa on October 30th, 2008 5:57 pm

    What a great pouch–it would be perfect for lip balm, band-aids, breath mints, and other little stuff that is too easy to lose!

  62. Lynn on October 30th, 2008 7:08 pm

  69. Susan T on October 30th, 2008 9:23 pm

    I could use it for make up but I would probably use in my purse to keep my checkbook and all the loyalty cards in. I have so many cards and like to have them with me.

    thank you for offering…

    cvdmvega@yahoo.com

  77. kristan on October 31st, 2008 2:25 am

  80. Jesica on October 31st, 2008 9:56 am

    I keep one of these in each of our suitcases. With our deodorant, toothbrushes, tooothpaste, ect … this way we’re always ready for a weekend trip or vacation, without worrying about having no way to brush our teeth.

  81. Becca on October 31st, 2008 10:10 am

    I would love to use it for my important stuff like my cell phone and chapstick.

  82. Kirby McCauley on October 31st, 2008 10:35 am

    This looks like it would be the perfect size for my make-up brushes. I don’t like putting them in drawers because they get lost among the random brick-a-brack & I can’t leave them out because my cat thinks they’re her “babies” & steals them!

  83. Joy F on October 31st, 2008 10:35 am

    I would put in my driver’s license, credit card, and chapstick and throw it into my daughter’s diaper bag. I HATE having to carry both a purse and another tote for all her stuff.

  84. renita on October 31st, 2008 11:01 am

    This bag is sooo cute! I would keep my lipsticks in it, of course, and some gum, some chocolate (that goes without saying), my wallet so I can go shopping, and my phone turned to silent so I can have some quiet time! Thanks for entering me.

    This is gorgeous!! It would hold my lipstick and other little things that normally get lost in the bottom of my purse! :)

  88. Cindy B. in Montana on October 31st, 2008 4:55 pm

    What beautiful colors on this bag! I’d use it as a small purse on those days when I don’t need to haul a bunch of stuff! Cute! Thanks for the great giveaway…

  89. Ginny on October 31st, 2008 10:05 pm

  90. maria on October 31st, 2008 10:13 pm

  91. Becky Newson on October 31st, 2008 10:38 pm

    What an adorable bag, I just love it!
    I think I would probably put makeup in this bag. Right now, all my things are stashed in a boring transparent vinyl bag. Blech.

  92. kristen on October 31st, 2008 11:07 pm

    That is such a cool bag! I would love that for all of my HBA and Make up odds and ends

  93. sarah on November 1st, 2008 1:05 am

    i like to keep some makeup or a lip balm for touching up…some tissues in case of emergencies…maybe some gum, chocs, candy…hair clips and a mini mirror!

  94. karen c. on November 1st, 2008 2:37 am

    This would be great for quick trips when you don’t want to take a big ol’ purse with you.

  95. Chrysa on November 1st, 2008 8:52 am

    I would use it as a makeup bag or else as a purse organizer for all those little misc. things that end up at the bottom. Thanks for the giveaway!

  96. teresa on November 1st, 2008 9:40 am

    Oh my goodness that is beautiful! I would keep my mascara, chapstick, eyeshadow, and tweezers in it. Ahh I love it!

  97. kristen on November 1st, 2008 8:14 pm

    love this! i would definitely put my sunglasses, lip gloss, and all the other VERY important and essential items that get lost in the bottom of my purse in this cute bag!

  98. Susan Ikin on November 2nd, 2008 5:52 pm

    Love your bag – I’d have to decide between my colouring pencils or a sewing kit (scissors, needles, threads) for travel
