Friday's Blogmania was so much fun!  I'm thrilled that so many people passed through my blog and entered to win this prize pack. 

Thank you to everyone who left entry comments.  Thank you and welcome to the new blog followers too!  I hope you'll enjoy my green living posts and come back often to see what's going on at Living Green In A Colorful World.

 Lindsay @ Just My Blog who said...

"Those bags are one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. I would love to win one...but I would also love to learn how to make them!"

You are in luck Lindsay!  Not only did you win the prize pack, check your email for details,  but I actually am already sharing how you can make your own mesh sided FatBottomBags in a 2 part video I have posted at FatBottomBags.com

Don't crochet?  That's okay, I've got something for you too!  For those of you who would like your own Mini-bag by FatBottomBags, but didn't win this prize, it's your lucky day too! I'm running a recycling exchange for your very own free Mini-bag. The details are on the website on our Freebies & Exchanges page

Remember, when we all do our small part we can change the big picture!  Thanks again & go green!

We have a winner!

First off my apologies for posting this announcement so late in the day.  I've been in touch today through my fabulous new tech toy, my Iphone, but I wasn't able to log in to my blogger account, probably just because I'm still on a learning curve. 

I'm so impressed with all of you wonderful creative and generous entries!  What a generous and thoughtful bunch you are.  In fact with so many wonderful ladies doing great things to improve the world I couldn't choose a favorite.  Instead I had Ben choose a random winner after all. So without further ado, the winner of the Pay It Forward Giveaway is Courtney from Tizzy Dee on Facebook

Not only did Courtney and her husband start a non-profit group to help her communty to increase cultural and economic diversity through hosting quarterly community conversations but she is working toward a goal of helping minoity students at a local university with a home-away from home program.  Hard to believe she still has time to make these adorable Sesame Street inspired hats and other crocheted items she sells at her Etsy Shop

Thank you Courtney and everyone who entered for all you do to make our world a better place!

Just goes to show my motto is true because when we all do our small part, we really are changing the big picture!

and the Winner Is......

There were so many great ideas of how to go Green this holiday season that it was hard to choose one winner based on that alone, so I decided to draw a name from a FatBottomBag

All entries were put into a FatBottomBag and I reached in and pulled out a winner

Carolyn Keys Cutter!

The winning entry is:  Carolyn Keys Cutter who entered through FatBottomBags fanpage on Facebook!  Congratulations Carolyn!

Carolyn is going Green this Christmas by:

1. Sending everyone homemade fudge
2. Making cards from recycled papers and left over ribbons, buttons etc.
3. Eliminating wrapping paper by giving her fudge in reusable tins

Thank you to everyone who entered the Green for the Holidays FatBottomBag Giveaway.  You all had some great ways to reduce  your environmental impact this Christmas.  Look for tomorrows blog where I'll be sharing all of your great ideas and more ways to Go Green for the holiday!
