Bella Bags winner

Congratulations Robin!
I’ll be in touch shortly about your bag.
And you can thank P as he’s the one who drew your name from the basket.

Thanks *so* much to all of you who participated by commenting and/or buying a Bella Bag–and special thanks to MarcΓ­a, the wonderfully talented bag lady (hah!) who made all this fun possible.

I’m off to bed now my peeps (it’s after midnight where I am!).

A presto!

    Congratulations Robin!
    Awww man, Michelle, I was hoping that you would let Luna pick the name out of the basket. I promised to give her a new chew toy should she happen to pick my name! πŸ˜‰
    Enjoy your prize, Robin. πŸ™‚

    Hi Sognatdrice, or D,

    I like your blog but this (?) I did not understand, but however I’ll come back again…

    Visit mine I posted some Spain Pic’s you might like that?

    Carol, thanks for stopping to congratulate πŸ™‚

    Robin, well I’m happy that you won something here…those birthday gods are pretty good πŸ˜‰

    Giulia, perhaps you should’ve told Luna this *before* the name drawing! She likes chewing πŸ™‚

    Sharon, hopefully yes; I’m communicating with Robin now about what she’d like–or at least what she’d hate so I can avoid that πŸ˜‰

    JoAnn, these are the results of a contest I ran here on the blog to win a free bag; the original contest post is linked inside the announcement if you’re interested…but anyway, I’m in the mood for a little Spain, so I’ll be right over πŸ˜‰

    Enza, hah! Freudian slip! If it had truly been up to P, I’m sure he’d have picked a Calabrese girl anyway πŸ˜‰

    JennieBoo, you’re such a sweetheart πŸ™‚

    Jo/Sasha, my pleasure; and the same goes for you around here πŸ™‚
