Designs by Keri Giveaway!

This giveaway is now over. Thank you to everyone who entered. The winner can be found here!

The wonderful owner Keri over at Designs by Keri has agreed to sponsor the first Etsy giveaway here at Everything Up Close! Her specialization is in creating beautiful bags of all types. She makes everything from backpacks to wet bags to medium, large, and extra large totes, which also double as diaper bags! She also offers customized embroidery for all orders at no extra cost. Custom embroidery is a great option if you are looking for yourself or a great gift for someone else!

Now, a bit from Keri herself. When I asked her to describe Designs by Keri and herself, this is what she told me, “I have been sewing all my life. I worked in the medical field for over 25 years and then decided to retire and work for myself. I am having the time of my life doing it! I love designing new things daily and emailing with customers all over the world. I customize my bags and often get great ideas from my customers. I make diaper bags, boutique totes, purses, lots of baby accessories, etc.”

So you are probably wondering what you can win. Keri has offered one lucky person the chance to win a custom medium sized diaper bag/tote bag. She will give the winner the choice to either pick any medium diaper bag/tote from her store OR to pick their own fabric and have their bag embroidered with a name or initial.

Here is a sample of one of the medium diaper bag/totes from her store:
