Dumb Foot

My number one "To Do" this summer was to have surgery on my foot so I'll be ready for next year.  I am on week 4 of  foot cast hell. I have either 2 more weeks or 4 more weeks depends on my next x ray. I am hoping for 2 weeks ( cross your fingers) On top of feeling totally helpless only being able to use one foot, today I am lagging.  I'm working on a post about podcasting but I don't think I will get it posted tonight. Be patient with me and I will get it up sometime tomorrow

Have you heard of 31 Gifts?  I'm not sure if it's regional or nationwide.  It's like a Tupperware party for bags!  How fun is that?  It just so happens that I am hosting a catalog party this month for 31 Gifts and I wanted to give away a personalized bag!  (Hence, the reason why I wanted to hit 100 followers before the end of the month!)  


Here is the bag I'm giving away:  



It is called the "All in One Organizer."  Sorry the pictures are so fuzzy, I took a screen shot from the catalog.  As you can see, there are many uses for this adorable bag!  The best thing about 31 Gifts is that you can personalize your bag as well.  


Here is mine:  
Isn't it just the cutest thing you've ever seen?! 


The bag comes in these patterns:  


The Details:  
The winner of this giveaway will receive an All-in-One Organizer bag with your choice of pattern and personalization!  The giveaway ends on Wednesday, July 13 at midnight.  I will choose a winner randomly through random.org on Thursday, July 14 and the winner will be notified via my blog on that day.  The winner will have 24 hours to respond to me via e-mail with their choice of pattern, personalization, and address.
