Design Your Own Monogrammed Cosmetic Bag Giveaway!!!

Hi everyone. I don't even know what to say--I haven't realized how long it's been since I posted anything. I think this is the longest. I have finished a lot of redecorating though and will share pics with you soon. Anyway, since I have sadly neglected my blog and people really visit it as statistics show (thank you), I am going to redeem myself and do a design your own monogrammed cosmetic bag giveaway or if there's already one made that takes your fancy it's okay too and of course I will monogram it. Check out the cosmetic bags here and the monogram fonts here. You pick any fabric you see on the site or my fabric collection here.

Just go visit my site and tell me which of my designs is your favorite and why. I will run this for a week and I will announce the winner on the 16th in the morning.

Last December I was trying to monogram some gifts and my fairly new embroidery machine kept giving me an error message. It kept telling me to rethread and kept beeping. I did everything--change the bobbin, the needle, another thread to no avail. The beeping noise went on and on. Since I won't get the free one year service till June (which is about now) my hands were tied. I didn't use the embroidery feature until about a few weeks ago out of frustration and necessity and voila! It worked. I don't know what happened but I have been monogramming some stuff for my daughter and I nonstop. I was told it might that particular brand of thread or it was just one of those things! In retrospect I think it might have been the bobbin thread. I was using a not so good brand. So I switched and it might cost more money but worth it. There's so much to learn with embroidery--I guess I will learn as I go along and I have a really helpful forum that I can run to.

I will be back --promise!!

    Do you still have that fabric? If not, what do you think might coordinate nicely?

  6. Debbie,
    If you still have the fabric, then I'd love to go with that so I have two matching pieces. Do you need anything else?

  8. The monogrammed cosmetic bag and the Debbie in Morocco bags are FABULOUS! The picutures don't even begin to do justice to Debbies' workmanship and quality!
