Teddy Loves B's Purses

I captured a quick shot of Teddy in one of my B's Purses... not sure he's all that thrilled, but he looked TOO cute!

Happy Online Blog-Launch Partyversary to me!

In celebration of my three years of blogging (ah, yes…the first bloggy anniversary I’ve actually, sort of, remembered), I was thinking about having some sort of giveaway… to follow in the footsteps of some of my favorite fellow bloggers and to commemorate the special occasion! Well, since I just started my own business with B’s Purses and plan on hosting my online launch party all this weekend (September 25-27), I have decided to combine the two things…

So Happy Online Blog-Launch Partyversary to me!


THE DETAILS
If you're like me, then you know that you can never have too many purses or totes. I just LOVE bags! And I especially love bags that are unique, bags that fit me (and my personality), bags that make a statement, bags that match that perfect pair of shoes, or bags that my kids can use for piano lessons or visiting grandma's!

That's why I started up my own business as an independent consultant with B's Purses. Not only are their products beautiful, well-made, trendy and useful, YOU get to be the designer! Pick your own favorite fabrics and patterns -- outside AND inside -- and select the hardware, accessories, accents and even monogramming! It's all up to YOU!

So it's YOUR perfect bag!


THE PRIZES
For my Happy Online Blog-Launch Partyversary, I will be giving away some really neat things! By entering, you could win one of the following:

• A handy and adorable heart-shaped “purse valet” ($12 value; this is one of those neat little gadgets you can use to hang your purse at your desk or at a table in a restaurant so you don’t have to put it on a dirty, germy floor, table, chair or otherwise!)
  
• Half-off your custom B’s Purses order (depending on what you choose, that’s a $50 value… or more!; that’s an amazing 50% savings on a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind purse that YOU get to design!)
• A stylish B’s Savannah "Bucket" Purse ($110 value!!!!; this is an already designed, ready-to-send-to-you handbag in a polka-dot fabric)

The Latest Buzz

I'm just a'buzz with excitement to be a new independent consultant with B's Purses. I've always loved bags, totes, purses and handbags... and I am thrilled to be a part of a company that lets YOU design your very own!

I'm sure you already have bags that you love, but for a one-of-a-kind item made exactly to your taste, you can create it yourself! B's Purses lets you choose the shape (including handbags, cell phone cases, garment bags, diaper bags and tennis-racket bags) and the fabric/pattern (from solids and polka dots to vibrant florals and animal prints) for the inside and outside of your bag. Add a handle of your choice and finish it off with ribbon, piping or a monogram. It might cost a little more than the average bag.... but that's the point! These bags are not average at all! They are YOUR unique creations!

So if you're looking for a unique gift, shopping for Christmas presents or just itching to buy a new bag for yourself, check out my B's Purses BLOG and WEBSITE. Have fun looking through all the gorgeous styles and fabrics, and feel free to place an order, post questions, sign-up for a purse party in your home or find out more about becoming a B's Designer to make extra income for you and your family!

It's truly the latest buzz!
