I am so excited we can finally get our first giveaway up and running!
Today we are going to meet
Jen. She's a lovely mom from Ohio who fills up her spare time making these adorable zippy pouches, messenger bags, totes, and other cute creations. Her fantastic creations are completely functional and practical, but oh so fun dressed up in cute, frivolous, whimsical, and clever fabrics. Jen has fabulous taste in patterns! You can find something bright and bold - think this
Bangle Dots Card Wallet;
or if you prefer, something soft and elegant - like this
Meadowfabulous Card Wallet. 
If you're looking for a new bag this summer, check out
these! I am particularly partial to this
Joel Dewberry Diaper Bag. She calls it a diaper bag, but it's perfect for a student, as well.
Jen is also willing to customize items, so if you find something you like, but want it a little different, don't be afraid to get in touch with her! You might just be able to get
exactly what you're looking for!

So by now you're probably wondering what we have to give away. Jen took the time to make this gorgeous Zippy Pouch for my giveaway!
This crazy awesome zippy pouch can be yours for holding all those things that tend to float around. You could use it to hold your extra cash, put all your little hair clips/pins in it, or maybe even put bandaids/alcohol wipes/neosporin in it for a little first-aid kit. This little pouch has enormous potential!
So, here's what you can do to enter the giveaway and get a chance to win this lovely pouch (with the cutest little embellishment on the zipper!) :
1.) For ONE entry, leave your name, and tell me what you would use this for if you won it.
2.) For a second entry, go to Jen's shop,
SeatOfMyPants, and look through her items, then tell me which you like best, and why in the same comment as you leave your name.
3.) So that I can get in touch with you if you win, please send me an email @ thegiveawaytree@aol.com with your name, a copy of your entry, and the email address at which you would like to be contacted.
Rest assured I will never use your email address for anything but to contact you if you win. =)
This giveaway is officially open starting now, and will be closed on June 5th at midnight.
I will randomly pick the winner on June 6th, and post the winner.
Good luck!
P.S. Guys - I know this is a rather feminine pouch, but don't click away without entering! Just think, if you won, you'd have an adorable pouch to give to your wife/girlfriend/mom/sister, and it won't cost you a cent. =P And THAT would be awesome, wouldn't it? ;)
NOTE: You CAN enter even if you don't have a xanga account, just choose ANONYMOUS and fill out the name/email address form. =)

Entry #1: Janie Little. I'd use it as a mini purse when I go traveling this Fall so I wouldn't have to carry my big one around all the time. :)
Entry #2: I think my favorite is this one: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24567947 the Splash of Spring Blooming Medium Tote. :)

Thanks for the feature, Larua! So excited for my zippy to be your first giveaway! Good luck, everyone! :)
Great idea to have a giveaway! Good luck.
Entry 1: Jenni. There are so many wonderful uses for this! I would use it for holding my chapstick and all the other small things that always get lost in my purse. And using if for a first aid kit when I go hiking/letterboxing would be a great use too.
Entry 2: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24632876 I think this fabric is so gorgeous. It was hard to choose though, all of her fabric choices are great. What a great Etsy shop.
You have a great blog. I just found it linked on Laura's blog. Now it's time to check out the rest of it!
