Birthday Bash Giveaway - the final day!

I can't believe it's already here... Day 5 of my Bloggy Birthday Bash!

I was hoping to add some kind of story to my post but I'm tired.  The hubs and I got a sitter for the kidlets and went out on a date!  I had some very delicious lobster ravioli for dinner and then we went out on the town like a true couple that has been married for almost 12 years-- Lowe's to buy plants, Dollar Tree, the pool place (man, pools are expensive!) and then to Sam's Club to round out the evening.  LOL  But we really did have a great time together.  We could just sit in the same room as each other doing totally separate things and still be content. :-) 

Anyhow, on to the giveaway!  The final giveaway for my Birthday Bash is this:

I have to say that the bag is my absolute favorite!  It is so completely super cute AND useful!  It would be great for library books, a diaper bag, or for a never-be-bored bag.  My never-be-bored bag always has a book for myself, a word find book for the kids, some flash cards, granola bars and anything else I have on hand for the rare down time in our lives.  This bag is particularly useful for times that require waiting-- doctor, dentist, airport... I'm sure you can come up with your own endless list.

Since I can't stand sending an empty bag to someone, this one is filled with an inflatable globe, a topographical inflatable globe, Crayola Colored Pencils, a mini black light (because it's FUN), Sea Monkeys (unhatched, thankyouverymuch!), wildflower seed packet, butterfly garden seed packet and a some garden snakes (of the rubber variety).

If you would like to win this, please leave me a comment with your contact info.  Winners will be chosen tomorrow (Saturday) after our final soccer games of the season-- wooohoooo! FREEEEEDOM!!!  (Don't tell my kids I said that).  And don't forget that it's not too late to enter the giveaways from earlier this week.

So glad you had a wonderful date night! My husband and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary last week, we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and then to Sam's Club - so you see, that's very normal! Thanks for the chance.

I love me a cute bag! Looks like there is a little something for everyone. The girls would love the flowers and it would be fun to plant them at the new house. They will have a big unlandscaped field called on the Banks for Plum Creek, without the creek. It's a perfect place to throw wildflower seeds. You know, I may have to do this too. My birthday is next month and if I plan well, I could have the prizes all ready and not get stressed out about it.

Okay, Marsha. I'm like TOTALLY coveting this giveaway! I am a lover of bags. I've all ready decided this bag would be awesome for my crochet, my cross stitch AND a book. Plus, I love, love, love the fabric. Can't you just see me with this bag? Hmmmm? LOL

Your dinner and time with hubby sound wonderful. My hubby and I are the same way - we just enjoy being together.

Happy Birthday, again, dear friend and remember - I would look just wonderful with that bag!!! ROFL!

God bless you ~ Julie

Boy, do I understand the soccer thing. I love watching my boys play... really, I do! But after six boys playing soccer for the last 20 years I get a little tired of the family together time that gets set aside. So... I'm looking forward to the end of the season, too! :)

Thanks for the fun giveaway! It's always nice to have something new to pull out for doctor's appointments and other such occasions.

this is perfect! my son just discovered his love for the plants outside, it would be so cute to have him help me plant some! i am sure his favorite part would be the globe and the snakes though.

thanks!

Posted by tn3jcarter

Well, day 5 of your bloggy birthday giveaway still finds me with a slow connection so I've missed out on most of the fun. Drat, drat, drat.

Just couldn't let the whole week go by though without stopping by to enter one of your contests and wishing you a wonderful birthday.

I sure hope it's been a super-dee-duper week! Happy Birthday Marshie!

You seem like someone who knows how to have some FUN!! Sea Monkeys were my major childhood obsession! I remember pouring over their little catalog wanting to buy the necklace that you could put your monkeys in to carry around. Thanks for sparking a fun memory!gomeggo@gmail.com

Apr. 25, 2008 - Wow! what a GREAT bag

Posted by missionsmom

I love the never be bored bag idea. I need this for tornado season. Since we live in an upstairs apartment we always leave when weather is yucky. That means hiding out in the basement of an old building with WAY to many other people. We usually average about 1 night a week camped out waiting for the all clear. Your bag would be awesome for this oh so boring time.

It sounds like a perfect date night! I made New Year's resolution to eat at a new restaurant once a month this year. That forces us to make a date night, even though it doesn't have to be a date, who wants to pay for 7 kids to eat somewhere new, which is most likely NOT cheap?

My kids would looooove the items in this set (except the tote, which I would love, of course). I've actually been wanting to buy Sea Monkeys for them lately and just hadn't gotten around to it. They're really into all the stuff you have included. At any rate, thanks for the chance to win.

There are a lot of neat stuff that you are giving away in this bag. I could easily find a use for each and every item. I liked your idea for using the bag for library books. I'd probably do that...or use it for groceries. You can never have too many totes. Thank you for hosting this wonderful giveaway.
