Cute Clutch Giveaway!

*****COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED.  THANKS FOR ENTERING!*****

As promised, today is GIVEAWAY DAY!  I've participated in Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day a few times in the past as an enter-er (that is, I've been one of those people click-clacking away like it was my job on every giveaway post on the list in the hopes of making some sweet scores), but this is my first time hosting a giveaway.

I'm really excited to do this for a few reasons:

1. I recently celebrated my one year blogiversary . . . and it was such a fun year.
2. Just a few weeks ago I reached over 100 followers.  (Love you guys!)
3. I've been given so much encouragement, wonderful suggestions, sage-like advice, brilliant instruction, and just downright lots of love by all of you in the creative community (not to mention I've won some super sweet giveaways in the past), it would make my heart so happy to give something back.  :)

So without further ado I present my humble offering:

Awhile back I started testing out Noodlehead's clutch purse pattern to see if it might be something I'd like to sell in my (someday I'm going to do it . . . for reals) Etsy shop.  This little cutie was crafted with a ton of love and care, but as I was not yet a pro at the pattern there are a few minimal flaws.  Not quite good enough to sell, so now you can get it FOR FREE!

It's still adorable (in my humble opinion) and totally functional (but do be gentle with her zipper!) and would be a sweet addition to your purse wardrobe (do people have purse wardrobes?  Some people must!) or as a lovely handmade gift for a friend or loved one (I'm sure you could think of someone who would love her!).

It's got space for a few credit cards, your wallet, cell phone, your keys . . . all the little essentials you need!  If you've got little ones in tow, might I suggest how sweet it would be to have this in your diaper bag as a little grab and go while you're out and about?

Are you sold?  :)

Here's how you enter:
-Leave a comment on this post telling me whether you'd keep this little darlin' for yourself or if not, who you would give it to.   (Don't forget to leave your email address in your comment so I can get back to you if you've won!)


Oh, and if you're a follower or become one let me know that in your comment too so I can say "Hi!"  :)

THAT'S IT!

I'll pick a winner on December 17th (Friday) so you've got a whole week to enter, but please be fair as there is only ONE entry per person.  If you mess up and need to leave another comment, please delete your first one.  (International friends: I welcome you to enter too!)

With the understanding that there is no obligation to do any of the following, I would still love it if you'd bookmark me, follow me on Twitter, become my friend on Flickr, or consider subscribing to my blog and come back for a visit sometime!  It'd be sweet to have you as part of the creative community at Skooks' Playground.  :)

Ok, now off with you!  You've got plenty more great prizes to win.

You do know that's what I'm doing right now, right?  ;)


Good luck!
