****oh and for my dear bloggy friends who would like to shamelessly promote my bag on their site...i'm not below bribery....so perhaps you would find some tantalizing goodie from me in your mailbox if i win....go ahead...you know you want to tell the blog-universe about my oh-so-wonderful bag design.

as a sidenote to the "fun" nature of a contest and such...i am so excited to see so many stores coming out with re-usable bags (and even giving them away for free)--wal-mart, target, kroger (you can design a bag and as a thank you they will load a coupon for a free re-usable bag onto your kroger card--go here), and so many other stores (even home-depot i think!). i am the first to admit that i haven't done the best job of being "green" in the past, but i am trying, and i am realizing that even little steps like carrying your own re-usable bags to the store help in a big way! and really...wouldn't it be so fun if my design won the big kroger contest, not just the contest at "mommin' it up"...then we could all sport bags with my design!
