So I'm not going to let it pass without some more F U N!!

My aunt made me a bag like this when I was in grade school. I stil have mine also. I think it would be something that I would give to my daughter to have when she gets to school.

This is darling. I like the idea of my little one using it as a bookbag but I also like the idea of using it myself for my cross-stitch projects. Very cute!

Oh yes, most definitely add these to your Etsy store. This one is just too scrumptious! I would use this for my traveling counted cross-stitch bag. It is a passion that has had to be shelved for the last few months, but this fall (I am determined) I am going to jump back into it. And what a perfectly darling bag to jump-start me! :)
My daughter would love this-and yes you should put the in your etsy store. Holly

Great bag. I'd use it when I go shopping for groceries or movies and books. Congrats on the
200th. Thanks for allowing Canadians to enter
It would be a toss-up on the use of the bag - either a library bag, a knitting bag or a car tote.
Cute cute!!
I'd use it for taking crayons and such to church for the girls, so much prettier then the boring tote I use now.
I would use it for church, it's sooo pretty!!!!!!

Okay, here's me: I LOVE HANDMADE STUFF, I LOVE DENIM, AND I LOVE PATCHWORK, so I'm all over this one. This is so cute...FOR ME, not my girls (sorry girls-you've got enough bags). I use bags similar to this for my Bible bag for church. I also use them to put my papers in for my meetings. I go to places a little more stylish than just carrying things in my hand or a brief case or something.
You did such a good job! I love this. I'm going to look around your store!
Oh,my goodness -- so cute! What a great prize -- please enter me in your giveaway! Thanks!
ADORABLE!!! yes..you should sell these in your etsy!!! Too cute!!! I would love to win!!!! Thanks!! :)
That would make a cute library bag!
What a cute tote. I always have a book or two on me, and this is perfect for that.
What a neat bag! I would use it for my phone, camera, books, papers and all the other things I'm always carrying around.
Very cute--I would use for jsut about everything! Why not try Etsy?
Adorable and you're very talented so keep it up!

Very cute, and I love that you're still using one your mom made you!
Love the tote!! I keep thinking it shouldn't be too hard to make my own, but the reality is that I'll never make the time...so I need to win one instead!!

My daughter would probably try to take it from me! She loves handmade things, which I feel is an awesome trait for an 8 year old. Myself, I'd use it to hold the book I'm currently reading and my Couponizer. Thanks for the chance!
Stop by my blog to check out what I'm giving away.
