My First Giveaway!

Happy Hump Day (finally!), is it just me or has this week been dragging on?  Today is my 12-week appointment with my doctor and I am so excited to get an ultrasound referral.

I have been lucky enough to befriend this lovely lady Susan who is so kind, has a great blog (go check it out) and an adorable and creative Etsy Shop - Girl Sunday Designs.   Susan started making snack bags a couple years ago when she sent my daughter to pre-school and noticed how many zippy bags she was throwing away. She figured there had to be a better way and had just started sewing at the time and thought this would be a easy project to work on. Little did she know a whole business would evolve from it.

Susan is currently offering free shipping right now on all of her snack and sandwich bags and she is also doing fundraising by donating a percentage of the sales back to schools or day cares who fundraise through her shop.  If you are interested, please contact Susan directly, I can tell you first hand that she is very personable and easy to work with, not to mention quick!


Susan sent me a snack bag and a sandwich bag to try out and talk about an all around fantastic product!  The prints are so, so, so adorable and I have cut my disposable sandwich bag use down by quite a bit.  Here are a few pictures of the bags in use:

Cute packaging
Snack Bag
 Sandwich Bag
 Snack bag full of pretzels for Ryan's lunch
Snack bag full of popcorn, one of Cole's favorite treats
 Sandwich bag used for all my goodies in my purse
 Less mess in my purse, love, love, love this!

Susan has been kind enough to offer one lucky ready a chance to win one snack bag and one sandwich bag from her Etsy Shop.
To enter to win a snack bag and sandwich bag from Susan's Etsy Shop you must:

1st entry (mandatory) - go to Susan's Etsy Shop and tell me what you favorite product is

2nd entry (mandatory) - must be a follower of my blog  (you do not have to have a blog of your own)

Good luck and thanks so much Susan!

Love reuseable bags!!! I've tried out making a few of my own. Still waiting for fabric to come in the mail to make more. The new puppy just chewed through a sandwich bag I bought from another Etsy seller so I need to replace it asap. I really like the idea of using it for purse items.
Nice that your giveaway is ending on your birthday!!!
