*Update* I’ve closed this contest down and am busy cleaning up the comments and will announce the winner today!
I’m going to forego all the funny business and skip to the biggest giveaway I’ve ever done on this blog o mine.
Through an unplanned turn of events, my hubby’s company awarded him some shopping points and we got this in the mail:
A beautiful pink Kate Spade Hobo Handbag, valued at $245.

And it’s just not his color.
Since I’m still toting the beautiful purse my hubby gave me last Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d give this one away!
{And let me add, this is a gorgeous purse. It’s big (13″ tall, 13″ wide) and roomy, with pockets and zippers. It’s a great shade of pink for the Spring with an adorable black and white polka dotted interior. I better stop or I will want to keep it).
So, if you’d like to win this designer purse that comes with a protective bag and lots of class, do the following:

I’m a sucker for anything Kate Spade. I haven’t boughten one of her purses for a while since they are such a splurge and I just can’t justify it. This would be such a great treat. Thanks so much!
What a pretty bag. Thanks for the opportunity to win it!!
Wow. Kate Spade? You are really going all out for your giveaway. GORGEOUS! Thanks so much!
This is an awesome purse! I carry my fake Kate Spade black purse around all the time but this would be great for an updated look and reminds me of summer!!
Thanks for a great giveaway! I’ve never splurged on a purse before and would love to have this for the spring!
I subscribed
I love it! I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a nice purse, much less an awesome girly one.
Would love to win this fabulous giveaway as I have no Kate Spade purse in my collection!
That purse is so beautiful, I actually squealed. SQUEALED!
I think I’d like to win this for my mom. She needs a new purse.
I was already following you, so do I get a second entry?

I am way too cheap to ever buy a designer purse!! I love it!!!! I will twitter about it too!! Oh, I am crossing my fingers!!
Since all of my previous purses have been black, this is the perfect time to shake up my boring predictability and go for it!
I just subscribed to your blog!
My current purse is a diaper bag
I subscribed to your blog after reading 1 post! That’s got to be some sort of record.
I have the BIG button
OMG!!! Pick me please pick me!! I want this bag!! Perfect for me!!! It’s so chic!! LOVE IT!!
Cute bag! So sorry your DH is having to sacrifice his reward for fear of fashion, but I’d be happy to take it off his hands!
Wow, what a kind gift for you guys to get, and then even more kind to give it away! I currently have a purse I love very much, but this would be wonderful to win to give as a gift (how many times can one thing be given away?). Thank you for the kind giveaway!

Well I could never in a billion years spend that on a purse.
Okay I am lying. If I had it, I’d spend it. Because my true purpose in life was to shop uncontrollably.
But since I don’t have it. I’ll have to win it.
And pink is my favorite color.
And my poor purse is falling apart. Does that help my odds any?
Im a subscriber through google reader.
What a lovely purse. Would love to win. Thanks for having the wonderful giveaway.

That’s a very pink purse! Hopefully spring isn’t too far away but since we just got hit by that storm here in Ohio, it seems like winter will go on forever!

I only have ever had a knockoff, this would be the best purse I would ever own.
I’ve never had a beautiful purse like this. Mine have always been from Target. I’d love to win this and carry it in Europe when we go this spring!
This bag would be perfect for spring. I have had my old purse for long long, I could use a change!
I would love to win this. Thanks.

My purse won’t last too much longer. It is busting at the seams and falling apart. This would be great!
