a hot giveaway...day THREE!!

if you haven't entered the first two giveaways, be sure to do that, you know...if you'd like to! it's always fun to win...and someone asked if they can win more than once...i say...of course. i'm using random.org to pick the winners...so if random.org loves you enough to pick you twice...then woo hoo!!

and thanks for sticking with me with all of the giveaways! i only got two done before this week, so now i'm doing them pretty much the night before! which doesn't leave much time for me to blog 'other' stuff. i promise to be back to my rambling self next week!! and i hope you'll be back too! it gets me super stoked to see so many entries for the giveaways. i love having readers as excited as i am!! thanks guys. :0)

now on to giveaway number three!!

i have had my diaper bag, a petunia picklebottom one, for about three years. it's great quality, but almost so great, i couldn't justify buying another one. but i was truthfully ready to 'switch' out. plus once i became a mom, my purse was non-existent...and my diaper bag became my purse most of the time! ((or i just throw it all in my coat pockets!))

so when i found maranda of hot mama handbags and baby ever after...i had to just ask if she'd sponsor a review and giveaway for this week. i was SO excited she did agree. so i had her make me ((as in HAND MAKE ME!!)) a super 'hot' bag. and HOT it is. i just LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! in fact after i opened it i emailed her immediately telling her how much i loved it. isn't it beautiful...

let me tell you also...this picture does it absolutely NO justice at all.

here's a picture of the inside full of my stuff...

there's a ton of stuff in there. and i could get more if i wanted to! four cloth diapers. a wipe case. a wet bag. a pack of boogie wipes. a pack of 'clean your toys' wipes. a pack of disposable wipes. a sippy cup. three pairs of socks for mcd's playland. and there's still room!! this bag has three 'elastic' pockets, and three non-elastic pockets. i love having the pockets and having the bag feel a bit more organized. i opted for the adjustable strap. i like it because then i can snap my wetbag on the ring when there's diapers in it. i'm also highly impressed with the magnetic/button closure. i've never used a diaper bag that closes like this, but i love it. i should've gotten a better picture of the inside print too. i love the fabric. i got to pick my own!!

and one thing i love is looking at this...

it reminds me...i'm a HOT MAMA! :0) lol. sometimes you just need to be reminded at how 'hot' you are. and what's better than a purse/diaper bag/etc to tell you that anytime you need a pick me up!

the only thing i 'miss' about my other diaper bag is an outside pocket...but i'm getting along JUST FINE!! and i've gotten a TON of compliments on my bag since having it! so much so i emailed maranda and asked her for business cards to hand out when people asked where i got my super HOT bag!!

maranda doesn't only make big ole bags, she has smaller sized handbags, clutches...and if you get a diaper bag...matching changing pads...which is on my list to get for my bag!!

now...what's in it for YOU!! because i KNOW that's what you want to know. this is a giveaway after all!!

so maranda has generously offered up a

THIRTY ($30) DOLLAR GIFT CERTIFICATE

to one of you!!

::so here's your MANDATORY ENTRY::

**are you able to count your purses...or just have to take a guess because there are so many?**

((i am not able to count my purses without having to go into the closet and actually counting them! i had a purse party last year or so and got a ton of them...and plus a girl can never have enough purses. i'm pretty sure i have between 12-15 purses. and hardly use them! geesh. but i figure i won't be using a diaper bag forever!!))
