Bags {giveaway}

Some women love shoes. Some love clothes. Some love jewelry.

I prefer purses and bags. It's not that I don't like shoes, clothes, or jewelry but if there is an item that I tend to "collect" it is bags.  I think my love affair with bags started the semester I worked in the handbag department at Carson Pirie Scott.  My girls seem to have inherited this love as well.

I use bags to help organize things around our house and in the car - beach bag, library bag, purse{s}, dance bag, gym bag, lunch bag, garbage bag, and the list goes on and on.

 A few weeks ago I received an email from Amy who is a consultant with a company called Thirty-One Gifts.  I first saw a Thirty-One catalog around Christmas time and immediately fell in love with all their bags.  My wish list was quite long.  Their items are reasonably priced, cute, and they can be personalized.  My favorite items were the ones with organization in the title :o)

When Amy asked if I would want to do a giveaway I immediately said yes!

Amy offered to send our family a few items to use and review before we hosted the giveaway.  Thanks Amy for the fun things you sent to us!

 Morgan had a cinch sack she was using for her gym bag and it was falling apart so when a new cinch sack arrived she was thrilled!  She loves the extra zippered compartment on the front where she can keep a snack or other items she doesn't want covered in chalk from her grips.  It is lightweight and perfect for her gym bag.  

The flat iron cover is darling and perfect for travel!

 I need to pack Morgan dinner on the go two nights a week.  The thermal tote is perfect.  It is large enough to fit her dinner as well as her water bottle and it doesn't get heavy {could this pattern be any cuter!}.  Morgan loves the bag so much she sometimes takes it to gym just to hold her snack.

I often wish I had a small picnic type blanket in the car for when we are at the park or a ball game.  I love that this blanket rolls up and has a handle for easy carrying.  I know we will put this blanket to good use during the spring and summer.

The utility tote that I keep in the back of my car might be my new favorite tote!  It can fold down but I like to have it up ready to use.  I use this tote often for grocery bags and especially for my Costco items.  When I check out at Costco they ask if I want a box.  I always say no to a box as they get heavy and are awkward to get out of the cart.   This utility tote solves that problem.  I am able to organize my groceries in the car and easily get them in the house to put away.

Amy is giving one of my readers a Spirit Floral Thermal Tote.
