What? No one else has any wintery photos? Here's one of our house during "Snoverkill" in February of 2010:  That's our deck from the kitchen door. The stick is a 4 ft 'snow stick'. . . .the depth was 31" on the stick. . .this after two snowstorms with just a couple of days between. . . .there'd probably been some settling. . . . . |

How about this one? My boys snuggled up warm and cozy in their pajamas under a blanket on a cold winter day reading a book!  If I won I'd choose the Sasnah Hobo Bag in medium. Thanks! |

The first thought that popped into my head when reading this was of a snow globe we used to have when I was five.  And that's a Texas winter for you.  |

I offer a larger, uncropped version of my profile photo: One of my cats, warm and cozy while he watches the Chicago Blizzard of 2011 bury the back yard.  As for the second part of the entry requirements - I'd love to win ANY Borsa Bella bag. If forced to choose my favorite, though, it would have to be the Breath of Snow Borsetta. Lovely fabric, perfect for the upcoming months! |

Photo of my buried home after several back to back storms in Winter 2010-2011 in MA.  My favorite Borsa Bella bag would be the Breath of Snow Borsetta, but would love any one them. |

This past February - my (then) two-year-olds hand print and mine.  Awwww. She's now three, and constantly asking to play in the snow (it's Christmastime, after all). Can't get her to understand that we live in Dallas, and the above snow was quite the aberration. Poor thing. ETA: Oh! As for the bag, they're all gorgeous, of course. I find myself quite taken with the travel bags. Especially the blue fleur... but then, those giraffes...  |

The mountains around us get good snowfall, but in town it rarely sticks around for long. When it does come down like this (last winter), it's a treat! Good luck to our entrants - - the winners will enjoy those Borsa Bella bags!!  |

 She was 6 weeks old in this picture... she's 6 now.  My Borsa Bella pick would be the Brown Floral Moxie. Thank you! |

Of all my dogs, Jam'r has always loved snow the most. Oddly enough, he was the ONLY one born in hot dry country!  |

These wintery pictures make me sad panda. We get no winter here, just "brisk" weather. Maybe rain every now and again...

What a nice giveaway! I live in south Alabama, we don't really "get" winter here... heck we are as likely as not to be running our air conditioner on Christmas Day. So if I posted any pictures that I took it would not look very wintery. Unless you count a few trees that look dead haha. So I did swipe one VERY pretty picture off the internet  As for which bag that is a tough choice. But I gotta admit I LOVE the Black Beauty Hobo Bag so it has my vote! |

One of my favorite winter sights is that of dogs relaxing in front of the fire:  I'd love the E-reader Roo bag in Breath of Ashes. Thanks for sponsoring the contest! |

For some darn reason, the bulk of my images still haven't been transferred to this computer...three years after buying it. LOL So I present to you one of my favorite pics from one of my favorite standard schnauzer breeders. They always have fun images on their blog:  And yes, my pair are also that crazy about snow. I'd love a Borsetta in Ume Blossoms! Thanks, Melissa, for sponsoring such a fun contest--great images all around. |

 I stink at figuring out how to add photos. But here it is, NM with an early winter storm. Don't get much snow, so this was a welcomed surprise. My first year in the boonies with my kindle. Yup, we have a fireplace! I'd like the travel bag. What a cute set of bags. I love the bigger ones too. I hope they do backpacks soon. I love a good backpack to put all the other things in it that are already bagged... |

Thanks StephanieJ! And thanks so much to Borsa Bella for sponsoring the contest. It's been ages since I won anything, so this was a fun surprise, especially as I have been wanting a new e-reader bag and I've had my eye on Borsa Bella products for a while. Congratulations to the other winners--we'll have to post pics when we get our goodies!
