I love seeing your crafts and stuff....I just purchased a sewing machine so I love reading about all the new stuff you try! I would use these adorable snack bags for my baby girl due in July. In the beginning I would use them for anything I may need to stick in their like pacifiers or wipes for a quick trip, then as she grows I would use them for puffs and snacks! =) My e-mail address is jbryan1833@yahoo.com!
ReplyDeleteJill, stopping over from the giveaway list. I've always wanted some of these bags, I think they'd be great to take snacks to work!
ReplyDeleteThese look great - I'd would use them to carry hand sanitizer, an extra napkin, and my mini fork - like a mini-picnic kit for those impromtu grocery store stops for day trips on the train.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how to tag you in my status, but I did post to facebook about your giveaway.

ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Meredith Blair I have 3 children 5, 3, and 2. I would love to win the bags. I grew up with a mom who sewed all our clothes, curtains, table clothsm ect, ect... if it needed sewing she did it. now she is sewing for the grandbabies :) I never did learn how to sew, but I am still hping to one day, so handmade items just thrill me! I would love to win Your pouches and I would use them to help organize my purse. I just got a huge floppy bag, that holds everything, but it does hold everything, but the kitchen sink...lol... and now I am that lady in front of you at the cash register who can't find anything. I really could use some help :)
ReplyDeletemy email is meredith_blair@yahoo.com Thank you so much for considering me to win :)
I'm Alyssa. I was directed here via Stephanie on FB. Loved browsing already! These seem like the perfect thing to keep dirty onsies/burp cloths separated from the clean stuff in my diaper bag. Also seem great to keep extra nappies for cloth diapers! Alyssamc0@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI would use it to put snacks for my granddaughter for camp.

Hey, I'm Kathi and I am a student, mother, partner, crafter, writer, etc., etc. would use your snack bags to put in my children's lunch bags! Thanks for the entry!

My daughter plays travel softball. These would be perfect for those long days!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Kim, and I am expecting baby #2 in August. I would use these adorable bags with my toddler and new baby, to carry around all the little things mom's need to keep their kids happy. By the way, I stumbled onto your blog, and I LOVE your crafts! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI would use them to bring my coupons to the store.
ReplyDeleteHello! I found out about this giveaway on one of Coupons Make It Free posts. My name is Kristi and I am a Stay-at-Home Mom of two little boys which make my life a little chaotic at times and certainly unorganized. I love these adorable snack bags and would love the opportunity to win something so useful. Really, the possibilities are endless as to what these would best be used for, but for now I would use these for an easy way to organize my coupons for a quick trip to the grocery store. Ok....maybe using one for snacks for the boys if they are going shopping with me. :)
ReplyDeletekristi_johnson_31205@hotmail.com
So cute! I would use the bags for snacks, of course! :) Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteOh the joy of having a slim eco friendly snack carrier to throw in my purse!! my kids are too old for diaper bags now, but still in constant need of snacks!
ReplyDeleteI love the bags! My name is Deserae, and I am from Utah. I love to quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Lupe. I would love to have the opportunity to use your bags for coupons. We are a family of 4 and are on a VERY tight budget. I am a stay at home mom and these bags would help organize my coupons and our budget. Thank you and have a great day.

ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog today but will be back often to visit now that i know your here. I love the snack bags, and would us them to store many things. My husband and I use coupons at the store and we use the envelope system these would be perfect to carry coupons in one and put store my envelopes in another the third I would most likly use to store small but necessary things like post it's, a small calculator a pen and stamps. We haven't met before my name is Brandy and I saw a post on coupons make it free. I look forward to getting to know you better. Thanks for the chance to win these great prizes. My email is jclofa@yahoo.com Hope to hear from you soon.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Amanda - a stay-at-home-mom of my adorable baby girl and a furry Boston Terrier. We would use the bags for snacks and utensils (spoons) to the park, beach, zoo, etc. I also loved your idea to put your wallet contents in them for days at the beach! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Courtney, a friend of Steph Rex's (from when she lived in IN). :) These are super cute, and while I can think of a plethora of things to use them for other than snacks, I need them for their original purpose. My girls take their cereal in snack bags (ziploc) to eat on the way to school because they have to leave soooo early. But also, kid #2 can't have wheat, so it would be nice to have bags that are just for her and guaranteed wheat-free!
ReplyDeleteHi! I saw my friend Amanda's FB status post about this contest and decided to check it out. :)
ReplyDeleteI would give these to my friend April who's expecting in July and wants to buy and use environmentally friendly products for baby, including cute reusable snack bags like this! ;) kassiejahr@frontier.com Always encouraging enviro-friendly & waste reduction!!
Hi, I am Maya. I make all kinds of things. At the moment I am really into pottery. I would use these to take my snacks with me to the studio. I have a long class once a week but I also drive out there for practice. I always need to take snacks because of the amount of time I usually spend at the studio.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Hi I'm a new follower, I found your blog through the Happy Housewife. I love your creations, they are beautiful. My son starts full day preschool next year and he'll be bringing lunches and snacks to school everyday. Plus at least once a week we picnic, sometimes 2 or 3 times a week.
ReplyDeletehi ya I'm Duff. Sometimes nutty, always ready for a laugh at my own expense. I would use these bags in an umber of ways, the first is to keep my snacks at the 100-calorie level and the bigger one would be perfect for when i need to carry the GPS in my purse. thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHi there, I'm Mary Ann from the blog A Joyful Chaos where I blog all about my journey from a happy little Amish girl to where I am today.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this giveaway. With another baby on the way I would save these cute bags and use them as snack bags once he/she is old enough to enjoy snacks.
Thanks for the opportunity to win.

ReplyDeleteI can't get the tagging to work on FB, even after I retyped it (and yes, I did Like you). I will try one more time. Anyway, I am Kristin, mother of two little guys. I want to send snacks to their schools in reusable bags instead of (gasp!) disposable ones or the plastic containers I have been sending them in but have not yet been able to sew any myself. I only have one for the older child. Sigh. I know how you can help me out :wink: :wink: Please FB me if I win at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1327935711 -- thanks!

Hi! I'm Nicole and I found you through Sew Mama Sew. I love to sew, too, but I haven't had a chance to make snack bags (though I have wanted to for a long time!). I have two kids and they are always snacking, so I think these would be perfect for them. Thank you for doing this :)

Hi! I'm Jenn. I would use your bags to carry a rosary and snacks... but not together:-)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I've been following your blog since you posted the onesies. You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteLove these! I'd definitely use one for a pacifier keeper, and the other two... maybe for snacks?

ReplyDeletecorrieb96@hotmail.com
I love the first group and they would make my boring lunch bag so much more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI would use these for toddler snacks! Thanks for the chance to win (and I've been a follower for awhile now!).
ReplyDeleteThe amount of plastic baggies with crushed cheerios in my backseat is really sad. I would much rather have some reusable (and adorable)snack baggies! katiefewell(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteCute! I can think about about bajillion ways snack bags would be used in our house. For lunches and lunch snacks, of course. I can see keeping small purse items in one to keep them from getting lost. They'd be great for keeping thing from getting lost in the bottom of the diaper bag - or soaked when I inevitably break another bottle of pumped milk. (argh...) And I can pretty much guarantee that the three year old would snag one for his ever-growing collections. Thank you for taking part in Giveaway Day and for offering up such great goodies!
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm a mother of a 3 year old girl, I think I have more snacks on the floor than on the jar, so I think with these bags, she will be more responsible, ... yeah, as if. Well, I think she will be looking at how cute the bag is:)
ReplyDeletehello hello... My name is Steph I am mum to Moo 10year, Bear 5years and Bubble 2.5years. I can not cook Carlos handles that and very well I might add. We are currently a family in complete crisis but we have each other and the universe seems to have a much grander plan for our family. I am a re fashioner and have just learnt to crochet and am working on a Therapy Quilt. I think I would have to use your pouches to store my buttons which the kiddis keep sneaking away hehehe
ReplyDeleteI haven't been this personal in any of my comments but you asked...lol...
xo Steph
What a great idea! Although I could definitely use them as snack bags with my two sons I think they would probably end up in my knitting bag. These are perfect for holding notions (tape measure, needles, stitch markers, etc)

Beth Hawks from The Modern Lady stopping over from the Sew Mama Sew giveaway. I am hypoglycemic so I often pack something in my purse just in case I'm out and about and am feeling a little sugar dip. I would use these snack bags to replace the crappy plastic ones I now reuse lol.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Moira from Crafty Moira. I love the idea of these! I'm trying to use less plastic and this is a great way to do it! I am gluten free so have to take my own snacks everywhere! This would be a great help!

ReplyDeletehelenhsin(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would use these bags for makeup, small items that i don't want my 1 yr old getting ahold of like bobby pins, change, buttons and sewing needles. I would probably leave one in my purse, one in the diaper bag and one in my car. This is such a cute and crafty idea...wish I would have thought of that along time ago.

ReplyDeletebgeorge1957@hotmail.com
Hiya! these bags look great and I love the colours of this set. My kids are always rooting around in my handbag for snacks stashed in various pockets, so if i had these bags, at least they'd make it easier to locate the snacks!
ReplyDeleteThese are so stinking cute! What a great giveaway!..and super cute blog! I will be back to visit again soon. :) I am loving that #3. thanks!
ReplyDeleteHaving 3 "big kids" these will be great for keeping snacks/sandwiches during our trips into town during the day. Thanks for a chance to win such a great giveaway!

Cute fabrics! I've been trying to find a set of these locally and haven't yet.

ReplyDeleteI would use them in my diaper bag, I'm always toting around snacks for my toddler...this would be so much better than a plastic bag!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

Hello from Canada! I'm a SAHM with an amazing 3yo son. I love all things music and sing in the choir at our Church. I would most likely use these snack bags for snacks, as I am forever putting food in my purse for one of us! They are so cute! Thanks so much for this opportunity! God bless you and yours! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the snack bags! With two little ones, I've always got snacks in my purse. I occasionally have to use a plastic bag which I hate doing so I'd love some soft bags to use.
ReplyDelete
