Halloween Carry Alls for CANDY and other Treats

Are you looking for the ultimate Halloween bag? Go trick or treating in style with this personalized Candy Tote.

Your little tricksters won't confuse their candy with anyone else's if they're treating Candy Givers to a view of their new Personalized Candy Bag.

I remember coming home from the candy collecting outing with family and friends gathered round sifting through the mound of treasures for favorite pieces. Those vanilla caramels always got my vote, along with the milky way bars, snickers and those packages of m and m's. Just enough to fill up my sweet tooth, and have more later.

Have I mentioned that I love chocolate?

Sophist-a-Wrap --- The New CarryAll

Looking for a great way to carry your little bundle of joy? Try a Sophist-a-Wrap, complete with designer buckles. These easy on, easy to carry wraps keep your baby cozy and close to Mom while you work or play. Many mom's strap on their babies while they shop, while they clean house or while they work.

This mom carries her bundle to business meetings wrapped up snug against Mommy's chest, sleeping like a... uh... baby.

He's so cozy in his comfortable spot that he rarely makes a peep. Folks comment on how well behaved he is, and how quiet he is, tucked inside mommy's Sophist-a-Wrap.

The Sophist-a-Wrap gives new meaning to Baby Bump, with its high-end buckle and designer label fabric. Every mom will want a carrier such as this to keep her bundle of joy cozy and calm.

Purses, Carry All, Hand Bags & Clutches

You'd think we'd come up with just one title for those nifty little trinket carriers that hang over our shoulders, loop over our arms and tuck under our armpits... But then, why?

Just one name for all of them wouldn't offer much clarification when we search for the latest eye-catching piece of our wardrobe accessories. Nor would it give us nearly enough options for selection. It'd be like everyone carrying the same boring, droll black bag.

Who wants a boring bag?

Ladies, if you're looking for a new bag to end all bags (yeah, I know that was cliche), you've come to the right spot. I've got a friend who sells fancy-schmancy bags, beaded works of art, that can't be resisted. I promise if you'll just go look at them, you won't be able to resist.

You Go Girl Shop can't be beat for originality in hand bags. I know it isn't a completed site, there's plenty more to be created, but the handbags... AWESOME!

The Bag is Important - Fashion Statements

Today, I went searching the Internet for blogs about hand bags, home made, specialty bags, and those carry alls we ladies love to stuff and swing over our shoulders. Nobody seemed to have what I was looking for, but, I ran into a lady who said she loved the concept and would consider making several bags for me, using the suggestions I offered. So, since she's making and sending me samples of the bags over the next several weeks. I'll have a few spectacular bags to give away as they arrive.

But, here I go thinking again... really a dangerous thing to do. If I'm going to give away spectacular handbags, there should be some spectacular women who receive them. If you're a spectacular woman, and I bet you can think of some special something that makes you spectacular, or of someone you know who is a spectacular woman who will be worthy of a spectacular handbag created specifically for you.

Come on ladies, these bags will be designed with a woman-on-the go in mind. roomy and strong enough to carry your laptop if you'd like and yet, light weight enough to carry around your most precious cargo. We all have those important things stuffed in our bags, along with the grocery list, the wallet and the all important necessities.

How many of you still carry party favors in your handbag?

What about pictures of your kids or grandbabies? Wouldn't it be wonderful if you had a bag big enough to tuck in a small photo book? How about a toy or two? What about a bag big enough to carry your keys and your wallet, and still have enough room to toss in a library book and a light jacket, without being so heavy you can't swing it over your shoulder and take off running if you have to?

Ladies, leave a comment and tell me why YOU are deserving of a spectacular hand bag!

Coolest Tote Bag Mom

This tote bag definitely makes me the Coolest Woman on the Planet and my granddaughter agrees! That's all the reinforcement I need! When the kids suggested I come up with a Valentine's Day Tote Bag for Gramma's I could hardly wait to get to my design program. I love artsy designs and my granddaughter is a major source of inspiration. I loved the idea of a tote bag with something about my Lizzie on it. She's my special Angel.

Stick figures are always appropriate and anything with a heart in it reminds me of grammar school Valentine's Day Projects.

Remember playing post office in grammar school and creating those awesome valentines with spongy folded paper arms and legs attached to hearts? They always looked so cute. My favorite ones were made with paper heart doilies and silver glitter. My first grade teacher always gave us suckers to include with the valentines when we put them in our Post Office.

So, if you're still looking for a spiffy cool Valentine's Tote Bag, or maybe you just want a Tote Bag that says how much you love your little Angel, this is definitely the bag for you.
