How many times have I heard women say they wish they could find their perfect purse? Do you have a blueprint in your mind of what would be the perfect handbag, tote, pocketbook, purse - or whatever label you want to give it?
HOW ABOUT A CONTEST? I love a good contest, and for me a good contest is one that is pretty simple to enter and win. But I know there’s also some competitive girls out there who like to increase their chances, so on the simple side, to enter just leave a comment here telling me all about “Your Perfect Pocketbook!”
To increase your chances to win you will get one additional entry for each of the following actions (please be sure to let me know in your comment which ones you did so I can count in your extra entries):
- Post about my contest on your blog (let me know where to look!)
- Post on Twitter
- Post on Facebook
- Add to any other blog’s contest list
- Join my newsletter or tell me in your comment if you are already on my mailing list
- Follow my blog or tell me you already do (thanks Pat for the reminder on that!)
Just a few of my own designs
CONTEST DETAILS:
I will select three winners on Sept. 30th (which just happens to be my 7th year wedding anniversary to the love of my life!)
Grand Prize Winner will receive one custom made pocketbook based on the details included in her winning entry! The winning Pocketbook will be handcrafted by me (Dianne Hadaway) in fabrics, trims and hardware agreed upon by myself and the winner, and will be constructed and delivered within 4 weeks of the announcement of the Grand Prize winner! On Sept. 30th I will announce the names of the top 3 pocketbook designs as described in the comments submitted. Then we’ll let our blog readers vote on the most Perfect Pocketbook design. Voting will be open for one week only. Whoever gets the most votes wins. I and my daughter will personally decide any tie-breaker and we will announce the winner on Oct. 7th. The winner will agree to allow copyright for the design to be owned by Mama’s Pocketbook and the design will be named after the winner! Mama’s Pocketbook may recreate the design for sale, however each pocketbook will be made as a one of a kind original utilizing various fabrics and trims. No two will ever be alike! Please note that my creations are rendered from fabric, I do not sew with leather. It’s possible to use pre-made leather accents like straps, handles or hardware, but I do not construct full leather bags. Thanks!!
First Place Winner will be selected by random drawing through the list generator at Random.org and will receive a purse organizing package included a
Pouchee Organizer and Three (3) of my
Fabric Card Cases in fabric selected by the winner from the available fabrics on the product pages for these items.
Second Place Winner will be selected by random drawing through the list generator at Random.org and will receive a purse organizing package including Three (3)of my
Fabric Card Cases in fabric selected by the winner from the available fabrics on the card cases product page.
Contest begins NOW (9/6/2010)– Only one detailed entry per person please – Describe your ultimate Perfect Pocketbook! Include such details as size, shape, what kind of pockets and organizational features you’d have. Would you mix fabrics? What kind of trim? What kind of closure? Does it stand on it’s own? Crossover the body hobo style? Is it large, medium, small? Is it colorful or neutral? Does it do double duty (diaper bag/ personal bag or business tote/laptop bag)? Use your imagination and be detailed!
I think I’ve thought of everything, but if something’s missing, I’ll add it when it becomes apparent!
THANKS FOR JOINING IN – HAVE FUN DESIGING YOUR PERFECT POCKETBOOK!
