CONGRATULATIONS to Erma H. (comment #81) for being chosen as the winner by Random.Org

My next giveaway that I am in the process of getting together for one lucky winner is a green “Grocery Store Bag”.  Green as in environmentally friendly.   Here is a picture of the bags but the one I have chosen for the winner is the one on the left – the larger one suitable for taking to the grocery store or drug store with you.  The smaller one is considered a “Drug Store Bag” but if you are anything like me, you get more good deals than the little bag will hold on your trips to CVS & Walgreens!  These bags are made by MixedBag Designs and I purchased this one from my daughter’s DECA (Sports Entertainment  & Marketing) fundraiser.  The bags dimensions are H18 x W14 x D9.

I would have loved to have been given more time so that the winner could chose which style he or she would have liked but unfortunately, her order has been turned in so I thought I would order the one I felt was most versatile.

This is an excerpt from the MixedBag Designs website:

“Night and day this sumptuous swirl is everyone’s favorite! Indulge your flirty side and don’t let this bag out of your sight.
Our fall bags are warm and bold. We call them our “happy” bags. They are recyclable and reusable. The four sizes (selected patterns) will meet your every need…or your “every bag” needs. Bold, adorable, afforable.”

I think it will be a great prize and something I would be proud to take with me on my shopping trips!  The bag will come to you filled with coupons, samples, full size products and more!  In my opinion, this will be a rather nice little goodie bag!!

If you are interested in winning this really neat bag and all of the fun surprises inside of it, you have 6 different ways to enter plus a way to get bonus entries.

1.) Go to MixedBag Designs and check out their other bags.  Then come back and tell me what you  would want if you were going to purchase something from them.
2.) Follow me on Twitter – my button is in the top right section of my site. Let me know your Twitter name so I can follow you back.
3.) Add me as a friend on FB and if you already are, fan my Networked Blog.  (The button is down the middle of the page on the right side) Leave your FB name in the comment please.
4.) Subscribe to my news feed.  Be sure when you do this, comment me with your email address so I will be able to verify you as a suscriber.
5.) Tweet about or post about this goodie bag giveaway on your blog or Facebook with a link back to this page.
6.)  Add a link to my site on your blogroll and I will do the same for yours.

BONUS: You can get a bonus entry for referring a friend.  If anyone one of your friends joins, subscribes, fans or follows me, just have them put your name or email address in the comments and I will throw in an extra entry for you.

Since I am unsure when the bag I have ordered will arrive, I am going to hold this contest for 2 weeks.  My tenative date for closing the giveaway is November 5th so you will have plenty of time to tell all of your friends to come enter!

If the bag arrives before Nov. 5th, I may close early depending on the amount of entries.  If I have not recieved the bag by November 5th, I will either extend it another week or if I have enough entries, pick the winner and ship it as soon as it arrives.  With school fundraisers, things take time sometimes.

I believe I have been pretty clear with the rules but just in case there is something I need to clarify, please click on the “Contact Me” button on the top of any of my pages and send me an email.

Thanks & Good Luck!

In my email this evening I found a coupon for a free gift from CVS.  Mine is a choice between a 4 pack of CVS toothbrushes or any single Absolutly Divine Chocolate Bar.  I should choose the toothbrushes but that chocolate bar looks really yummy!

Be looking for an email from CVS…hopefully everyone will get this one!

Night, night everyone…I need to get caught up on some of my tv shows and try to get to bed early!
