thirty-one {giveaway}

When I started looking for my Thirty-One bags to take a few pictures, I realized that I have quite the collection. 🙂 Hanging right by my back door is the market thermal tote, organizing utility tote, and retro metro bag.

I got two of my bags for gifts and the rest I ordered at my friend’s party. Not all of the prints are still available, but all of the bags are. I really love them all. I keep the large utility tote in my car for groceries or to hold things I need to return. The organizing utility tote holds all my Sunday school supplies. The retro metro bag comes with me to BSF every week. The small thermal tote is great for toting around baby food or taking a lunch to the park. These bags are definitely not all necessary, but they sure are nice to help keep an unorganized girl a little more organized.

Melanie is a Thirty-One consultant and sent me the market thermal tote to try… it is awesome. I keep it in my car to keep milk and groceries cold until I make it home (we don’t live super close to a grocery store). I didn’t personalize any of my bags, but thirty-one has lots of personalization options.

Thirty-One has a great November special going on right now. For every $35 you spend you can get a medium utility tote for only $5. And for every medium utility tote purchased, a thermal tote (pictured) will be donated to Operation Homefront to assist military families in need.

Melanie is so generous and has some things to give away to you too!

Like this cute red polka dot wristlet
…and this mini zipper pouch in say it sofly.
