The Give Away is Here!!


I've noticed lately there are a few things in life that I'm way more particular about than I ever thought I would be. Garbage is number 2 on that list. Ever since the garbage strike in Oakland, I've been very aware of just how much waste there is in the world. I don't throw things out if it's something that can be re-used or re- purposed. In a distant 3rd is water. Water bills can be very expensive and I'm too cheap to pay for water I don't get a good use out of!! My number one thing is partly what inspired this give-away. I'm a huge supporter of home businesses and supporting local business over the big chain stores whenever possible. So, this is a give-away to support to of my home-based business I love to support!
First, is a clutch-icke made by my friend Jen! It's a wrist purse that she makes in all sorts of different fabric styles. You'll have several to choose from. I keep mine in my purse as a coupon holder, make-up holder or as an extra quick purse to throw in a diaper bag or if I just need some lipstick and some money. She's got tons of other stuff out for the fall. Check them out: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7111633

Second, is a $10 Mary Kay gift card from my sister. She's been selling Mary Kay for several years now and I have become a huge fan. They have all sorts of great products and some great deals on their holiday packages. Check out the website: www.marykay.com/abyers

So, now it's up to you! Comment away. All you have to do is leave a comment on anything! Maybe tell me what local businesses you love to support! If you don't have a google account, than click anonymous and sign your name. Friday, October 2nd a random number will be chosen and I'll post the winner at 5pm PST and get your prize off to you. If this one is a hit, I'll just have to do some more!

I think this one needs to come to me because it matches the purse you gave me, and it would be perfect to store box tops in :)

Hi all commenters...
Please note that there are only a couple Clutch-ickes on my Etsy site at the moment, but there will be some to choose from by the end of the week!
Thanks Katharine for your support!

hey Katharine! I love supporting small businesses, and shop on etsy, etc. to show my love!! I support my sister (who's a photographer) instead of taking my kids to The Picture People or Sears. I loved the little tote! Cute!

I think my wife would love those prizes! Your post doesn't say that family members are excluded from entering, so here I am. Don't tell her, it would probably be a surprise Christmas present. :) Shhhh.

What a great idea ... Jen has the cutest purses/handbags ... I have one of her "boobie blockers" and it is adorable :-)

What a fun idea, Katherine!!!!! A friend of mine from high school (who is currently serving the Lord in China) has her own line of mineral makeup...this makeup totally ROCKS!!! It's all I use! Anyway you should check out her shop on etsy...it's fun! www.mixologymakeup.etsycom :) My dream is to one day run my very own home-based business!
