Back To School Giveaway....Day 1


My first giveaway this week starts off VERY fun!!! These are reusable sandwich and snack bags handmade by the very talented Candice over at the Etsy shop, CreATEmeMOM.
They seal at the top with velcro and can be used and washed over and over again. Perfect for those of us who want to be a little nicer to the environment by having less baggie waste AND you will save money by not having to replenish pricey boxes of Ziploc bags for your kid's lunches. Also these make great "Going Greener" party favor bags. Just fill them with little treats or use them to collect pinata candy. Moms would just love their kids to come home with a bag they can reuse!

I have to tell you that this was an especially exciting giveaway for me, because when I contacted Candice via Etsy and told her about my blog and the upcoming giveaway...she not only was delighted to participate but wanted to send me "a couple bags" to try out. She asked me what fabrics I liked and after I told her, she sent me ALL of them. The above 3 sets will be for Isaac, Vivi, and Jayden this school year. What a sweet generous fellow Mama!! She also sent the below bag for Jasmine's diaper bag for pacifiers! Yeah. Thank you so much, Candice.
I can tell you all now from experience these are GREAT bags to have!! You just turn them inside out and rinse them or put them in the washing machine. For my giveaway CreATEmeMOM is offering one lucky winner a free VALUE COMBO of five bags of your fabric and size choice! That is a $20 value with shipping. All you have to do is visit her site via the link above, come back here and leave a comment as to which fabrics you like best and what age children will be using these (just out of my own curiosity ;) and you will be entered!! You can enter twice by joining this site as a follower and telling me you did (or are already one) in a separate comment and posting this giveaway on your blog/facebook/twitter by simply using one of the buttons below this post. And finally, just because I love you ;) you can enter to win a third time by "liking" CreATEmeMOM on facebook, leave a comment on her wall saying you are from "Adoption Creates Families" and come back here to say you did that for your entry! Just follow this link.You do not need to have a blog account to enter the giveaway...just type in your first name under name/url in the comment box.
The winners of all 5 days of giveaways will be announced together by midnight on
Friday, August 5th.

DOUBLE bonus is that for those who do not win, CreATEmeMOM is offering free shipping for all orders during the month of August who use the coupon code: backtoschool. These bags are so reasonably priced at $18 for the Value combo of 5 and just $8 for a matching sandwich/snack set. They would also make a great gift with a lunch box for a little one in your life.
Order yours today to have them in time for when school starts!!

The Pirates! (Logan is 3 mo but I'm sure he'd use these for a long time.) Thanks!!!!

Oh and...I'm already a follower of this blog. (LOL)

Kristi Stacy said...

I love these! I like all the girl prints. And the boy robot print. I posted a comment on her Facebook page and liked her page and also shared the contest on Facebook

Deb said...

If it was just for 3 year old Isabel I would get the girls brown paisley. But I'm thinking ahead and would get the mixed combo pack I saw.

Mandy Jo said...

Zebra print of course for Miss Sierra!! She is 8

Robin said...

Cooper and I would both use them, seeing as how I have to make a school lunch for both of us, everyday. I'm definitely telling my friend Christine about her site. It's so her. I REALLY like the monkey print. Would I look ridiculous in the teacher lounge eating my lunch from those bags too?? :)

Robin said...

I don't know why I wasn't a follower. Clearly my family stalks your family (call Billy and Laurie and tell them to come. ha!) but somehow I still wasn't a follower. That has all been fixed now!

Robin said...

And...one more comment, (just proving my stalking point) ignore the Hello, Cupcake name. I have a cupcake blog through blogspot and it always logs me in that way. I don't love it.

Checked in on facebook

I love the owl print... for now, this mommy would be using them when she goes back to school since David is only 4 months old. He'll be munching on snack foods before I know it though!

Ooh, so many cute patterns! My favorite is the owls. My daughter is almost 18 months, and these bags would be perfect for those can't-leave-home-without-them snacks (Cheerios and/or graham crackers)

Kimberly said...

I love the robot combo one...Levi is 11 months. He starts daycare (2 days a week) this month, and these will be so helpful for his lunch and snack!

Jenn and Joe said...

I would pick the weenie dogs, because we have two! My kids are 19 months, 3 and 4!

I love the brown with multiple sized circles, and I also really like the black with white. Both are so cute. I would guess, however, my girls would like the cupcakes, which is also very cute!
