I'm Having a Giveaway!

Shannon over at Rocks in My Dryer is hosting the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival: Winter '08 Edition.

Bloggy Giveaways Carnival

I've decided to play along, and I wanted my giveaway to reflect me and my blog. So, I'm Givin' Away some knitting! I've decided to offer my "Bluebird of Happiness" bag to the lucky winner. It's a red handbag I knit myself, felted myself,and embroidered myself in shades of blue. It is my most favorited project on Ravelry and the most viewed in my Etsy shop, Elizabeth Originals. Here's a shot of it:



To enter my giveaway, leave me a comment telling me why you would like win my little bag. I really love comments and linky love (wink, wink:-). However, I will use a Random Number Generator to pick the winner. Contest closes at Noon EST on February 2. Any comments placed after that time will not be considered in the drawing.

Good luck!

Giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by! Check back for the post announcing the winner!

You are so talented! I'm in the midst of a bag crisis... handbags, diaper bags, I just can't seem to find a happy medium.

Kim said...

I love your bag because it is so RED (my fave color) and the texture is unique. SOOOOO pretty!

Angela said...

Too, too cool! I loved looking around your blog. Thank you for your great offer!

Bigbluebed said...

I would like to win because the bag is so gorgeous and so red. I would look lovely walking down the street with it on my arm.

A family of boys said...

I just love that bag! It's s unique and I tend to like unique things, but always shy away from them. Not sure why!

Karen said...

I would love to win it, because it is SO CUTE! Oh, and I only have one bag, and it is 6 years old, so perhaps it is time for a new one, LOL:) Thanks!

Jennifer said...

I so wish I could knit! THanks for the giveaway!

Ananga-manjari said...

I want to be that lucky winner. I don't own a handbag, at all, and this would help to break me away from ratty diaper bags.

Jenna said...

Please enter me (come on random luck!). I am a newbie knitter and I think having something as adorable as that purse would really inspire me as I learn by purling and knitting (and how to read a darn pattern!).

Tracy DeLuca said...

You MADE that bag? WoW! Count me in! I love bags of any kind... and with 3 kids I have plenty to carry around with me! LOl Head over to my blog for asnother giveaway!

Shama-Lama Mama said...

Oh my gosh! I would like to win because that is just the cutest little purse ever! I went to your etsy store and totally love the chocolate brown one too. Wish I had talent to make stuff that cool!
Thanks!

Rebecca said...

This is such a cute bag! I'd love to have it to use when I go out without my kids - or even with them if I leave the diapers in the car. You are so talented, I can't crochet let alone knit or felt. Thanks!

phxbne said...

I love bags and I love red and I love flowers so I love your bag!

Jill S said...

Well, I'd love to win because, really, who can have too many purses? Plus, I love the colors!!

I would like to win because I am obsessed with bags but can't knit a durn thing! This is so cute!

M the Mommy said...

I want to win your bag because it is so freakin' gorgeous it makes me want to eat my fist. Also - I just favorited you in my etsy profile so that if I don't win I could maybe order one of these bags because I may not be able to live without it.

Anonymous said...

This purse is the most cutest and most awesome purse I will have ever owned if you pick me as the winner !

Thankyou so much ,

Beth said...

Wonderful idea for a giveaway, thanks so much for entering my name! I love the bag because it is purely gorgeous and because I can't knit well enough to make one myself...I can't purl to save my life.

Anonymous said...

I'd love to wrap this up and give it to my 13yo daughter for her birthday--she loves cute bags with color, and this couldn't get any cuter--and the color's perfect.

Paisley said...

That is a beautiful bag! You're so talented! Please enter me in your giveaway!

Huse Yo Mama said...

I love this! You know why I want it? Because I knit and couldn't imagine doing this! It's gorgeous!

Anonymous said...

Eeeeek! This is so darling, I squee in delight looking at it. I'm on Ravelry, too, never noticed this terrific bag.

Oh, it would be the perfect thing to give me a touch of class and style. I'm a frumpy middle-aged momma, and in dire need of something to give me a little "glow." Your wonderful bag could take me from dumpy to dishy, right? I bet it could even whittle pounds off my butt and lines off my face. I could probably finagle an evening with George Clooney if he saw me sashaying around with this bag. See, you'd be turning my menopausal life right around by mailing this bag to me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the numbers fall my way :)

Donna Hulka said...

Beautiful! I'd like to win because a busy mom of a toddler needs a pretty pick-me-up now and then, something just for her, to make her feel special. And that's me! :-)

Tanya said...

I would love to win because red is my favorite color. :)

Michelle Olsen Sasak said...

The bag is lovely. Red is my favorite color, and the addition of the sweet little bird & branch is too cute!

I’d love to be entered.

If you haven’t already entered my giveaway, I’m giving away two prizes: craft books & decorating books at my blog

Thanks!

Nordly said...

I can't believe this bag is handknitted and felted. It looks storebought, especially the embroidering! I've tried my hand at it, and boy... it is a lot harder than it looks lol.
I'd love to win it because I've never had a red purse and every woman should have a pick-me-up powerpurse right??

Anonymous said...

Oh that is gorgeous! I deserve to win it because I'm a mom of two, so I NEVER get anything new for myself!

Hedi said...

cos this bag looks lovely, and I do like purses!

Kacie said...

Sign me up! It's adorable!

I always like to take something new to work that no one else has...they would be sooo jealous! Ha!TY:)

I love things like this cute little bag, that just ooze feminity. Especially when they're hand made.

ali said...

Okay, I admit - I am a bag addict. While I'd love to pass this on to a friend. I'd have to keep this baby for myself. It's sooo cute.

Thank you in advance. :) surrogacyrocks at yahoo dot com

Anonymous said...

I love this bag for myself, but I have to say, it would be PERFECT for my friend Leah. She's very crafty and could probably make it herself (unlike me), but I'd love to just give it to her just b/c. :)

Jennifer/The Word Cellar said...

Why would I like to win this? Because it's handmade, it's bright red, it has a blue bird on it, and it's every-so-cute! I'm headed over to your Etsy shop now...

jpandtheboys said...

I love your bag and I can't knit to save my life, so unless I win yours well then I am up a creek without a purse!! Pick me. :)

oooh.. red bag... and you managed to mention both Ravelry and etsy, too. Of course, I have to be jealous of your deck. But I only have a rickety metal railing and a 12 foot drop.

Unknown said...

I love the colors of this bag and the little bird is so precious. I could never make anything like this. Thanks!!

Jenn said...

I'd love to win this because that bag is so cute!

JC said...

You are so talented. The quality is amazing and the handbag is super cute.

Anonymous said...

I think my comment was lost. Ugh. Anyhow, I would love to win this bag because I LOVE red; it would match my red coat and boots; I've been using an ugly black diaper bag as a purse for the past five years. Now that we're done having babies, I think a real purse would be in order!
Thank you so much for offering this! It's beautiful!
Jennifer :)

Jon and Sarah said...

I am in desperate need of a 'mom purse' since all I have been using is the diaper bag.

Linda SS said...

It doesn't get any cuter than this! I LOVE birds, the colors, the lightness, EVERYTHING. Thank you - my fingers are crossed:)

Elizabeth Wickland said...

So cute!!!

Charlotte said...

I LOVE it because it's oh so "Simply Divine" and I do hope that I win!

Anonymous said...

What a beautiful bag! My sister has a new bag everytime I see her, and she buys 'name' things that are lovely, so my cheapies always look pathetic alongside. I am not a brand-conscious person, but I love beautiful things. This bag would meet all my needs - it is beautiful, it is unique, and it would make my sister jealous! :)

Shari said...

I would love to win this for a few reasons:
1. It's really beautiful-great job!
2. It's NOT a diaper bag!
3. It's NOT a diaper bag!
Oh, did I mention that? hehe, I would love a chic, yet artsy and unique bag for those nights out with my husband or the other mommies. Thanks!
