I love to shop local.

And I love to shop small businesses when possible.

That is why I am completely in love with Megan of My Joy Designs.

Megan is a local-to-me mom of two daughters: 3.5 and 12 years.

This is what Megan has to say about her biz…

I have been sewing since I was fifteen years old, so about 20 years. I don’t just sew all of the products , I also design them. I don’t use patterns so everything I make is truly a myjoy original. I love it. It has been my passion since I was a kid and can’t seem to get enough of it!

She makes the most lovely bags and headbands and…our favorite…Ugly Monsters.

That’s Charlie’s right there next to Mr. Giraffe. Eddie’s is white.

So far I have only allowed myself to get these for the kids because Cort says I need another bag like I need a hole in the head.

But he just doesn’t KNOW, ya know?

I NEED one of her bags!

the Essential Bag

The Essential Bag is perfect for organizing your purse or your diaper bag.

reversible adult headband side one

annnnd side two

Megan is generously gifting ONE lucky person with both the Essential Bag AND the Reversible Headband!

We are starting Day 2 with ANOTHER THIRTY ONE BAG!

This time from the lovely Rebecca Thomas…

I am a full-time working mama for two little princesses. I sell Thirty-One on the side as a way to save for my kids education. I’ve been doing it for several months and it’s super easy and super fun.

I love knowing people who sell Thirty-One because I MIGHT be obsessed.

I have the beach bag, the picnic thermal tote, the large utility tote, the hang up home organizer, a large storage bin, and of COURSE the organizing utility tote.

It is my fave.

In fact, I think it is EVERYONE’S favorite.

Rebecca even picks it as her fave things she sells:

This is my FAVORITE Thirty-One product. I love to use it as a day bag when my kids and I are on the go. It holds diapers, wipes, my camera, bottles of water, books, toys and anything else we’ll need for a day of fun. If you book an online party through me, you will be eligible for tons of free products, hostess rewards and even booking bonuses!

And you know what’s coming…

She is giving one away to one of you!

You get to pick the pattern (if you want it personalized, you will have to pay for that part).

Good luck!

And party on!
