This giveaway is now closed.

Today’s a special day ~ Today through Thursday you have the opportunity to enter to win $50 Gussy shop credit. And guess what?! There will be TWO winners! Yeow!

Here’s what I’m thinking:

It’s important to take time for yourself, to remember the blessings you have in your life, to take a step back and remind yourself that we are all connected and loved and we’re taken care of ♥ — and so this month I want to bless two women with $50 credit to my shop.

Two years ago I started sewing — can you believe that? Time has flown by! And throughout these last 2 years I’ve been so incredibly blessed to have bloggers in my life, like Nester ;] , who have helped me share my passion and grow my biz.

Also, 6 months ago yesterday I quit my day job to sew full time ;D

Have I mentioned time has flown by?!

***

Inside my shop you’ll find

tote bags, laptop bags, zipped pouches (lots), wristlet/clutches, headbands AND CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS —

I know, that’s a lot of ruffled options *wink*

    You know my obsession of late with the LoveFeast Vacay bag, but the Spearmint dot zippered pouch, forget about it~adorable! Thank you for offering such generous giveaways.

  7. hiyaluv says

    i adore you gussy. I need everything in your shop-not just one thing. I have worn out my laptop bag because I don’t leave home without it. I need a new one. I also need a new pencil pouch. I need a chatty gus, and a headband in every color, and a christmas stocking, and a tote, and, and, and….

    :)gina

  12. Ashley says

    I can’t choose! I love that houndstooth pouch but those Christmas stockings are so adorable too!! What beautiful pieces you have!!

  25. kim says

    i mean, really how can i pick ONE ruffle?! i love them all! if you force me though, i’m going to go with a headband. more specifically the red plaid one. makes me want to bundle up and go for a picnic :)

  30. Naomi says

    I think those stockings are DARLING, but I could really use one of those fabulous make-ups bags too. Hard to choose!

    Signing up for your newsletter too!

  32. Monica says

    Hi there! I love your style and all your goodies!!! It was so fun to meet you at Relevant! If I won, I would quickly order a laptop sleeve – I’ve had my eye on those for over a year! Thanks for the fun giveaway!

  38. megan says

    this is hard! I love the grey and yellow floral wristlet puch along with the umbrella wristlet pouch, but I also love the vacay tote too!

  50. hannah j says

    I always LOVE the damask tote/diaper bag, and need a diaper bag in the next month! I don’t have the money to straight-up pay for it, but if I happened to get $50 store credit, I could manage the rest =)

  55. Grace says

    Definitely the stockings! I tried making our own a few years back using clearance fabric and yuck!! Not near as cute, we need ruffles!!

  60. April says

    I would pick one of your cute purses and a baby doll blanket for my daughter! You items are so cute!!

  61. Mandi says

    It’s so hard to decide what I like best. I think I’m going to have to say the black and white totes — I just can’t decide which ruffle color I like best!!

  65. stac says

    Seriously…those headbands! Ever since I cut 18 inches of hair off a few months ago I have been making all sorts of fun things to go in my hair. A ruffley headband (or two…or three…) would complete the collection!!

  72. Katie says

    I have to say I’m a sucker for the Damask totes… and purple. So of course I would choose one with a purple ruffle. One can never have enough totes!

  78. jenn says

    Pick a favorite? Geesh! That would be like asking me to pick a favorite finger…I’d really like all of them thankyouverymuch. :) But in the spirit of doing as I’m told, I’ll go with Christmas spirit and say I love.Love.LOVE the new Stockings! They’re fantastic!

  81. Michele Laramay says

    Oh, My! Those Christmas Stockings are BEAUTIFUL! I hope I win one! No, that would be two! Oh, be still my heart!

  88. Leslie says

    Love your stuff! Love the damask laptop case and those stockings? Adorable.
    Question: have you ever thought about doing the little zippered bags with a longer (longer than wristlet) strap so they could be worn as a little cross-body bag? I love something just big enough for my phone and a few essentials, but I like being able to wear it and go hands-free! Just a thought!

  105. Emily N. says

    I’m loving the “Blue bell in pink make-up bag” and I really love the new stockings. Thanks for hosting, Gussy! :)

    Love,
    Emily N.

  125. carolinecollie says

    I’m a US resident for the next six weeks — is that okay? Although I adore so SO much of the stuff in your shop, I might let my sister choose something as a Christmas prezzie. :) Or I might choose one of your lovely vacay bags and pay the difference and use it as a baby bag. Hmm. :)

  136. Meg says

    Let’s see, I already have the most beautiful knitting bag (your first, I might add), and 3 Gussy pouches…I think a pretty Gussy stocking would be on my wish list this holiday season!!

    xoxo~Meg

  143. Sue says

    What an inspiration you are to all DIYers out there……I heart, heart, heart the pink/black houndstooth zippered pouch to keep your phone (or other stuff) in. Keep up the good work.

  149. Kristen says

    If I was shopping for myself it would have to be the damask tote with red ruffle – LOVE! but if I was shopping for my pre-teen daughter it would be any of the wristlets and a headband! :)

  154. Cassie says

    I love the laptop bag! Oh, and the tote bag, and a few others… I can’t believe you’ve only been sewing 2 years! Yes, the laptop bag. That is what I don’t have, so that is what I *need* most :)

  157. Shea says

    oh, to have to pick just one fave out of your amazing items. ok, I would go with the green polka dot stuff. It is so happy.

  160. Jennifer says

    you are such an inspiration! i love everything in your shop; seriously. i’m going to own a gussy creation one way or the other :) it would be fun to fill my purse with the small pouches for some organization. the tote is amazing too…and the laptop bag…
    thanks for this opportunity!

  167. Holly says

    Gussy! I love my orange polka dot pouch, and I’ve had my eye on one of the spearmint polkadot pouches too. That and a cute headband or two!

  171. connie says

    Everything is just perfect, I love the headbands, my daughter would love a few of those, and I love the laptop bag! I don’t think there are nearly enough ruffles in the world so keep em coming!

  182. Kirsten says

    I have seriously [<3]ed the charcoal LoveFeast vacay bag ever since it came out ~ my English major-ness can't tear itself away from that lining (do I sound like a nerd now or what?) :-)

  187. Darcie says

    As they say, “You’ve come a long way, baby!” Good for you!

    I would so enjoy some Gussy make up bags and zippered pouches. A girl just cannot have too many pouches and bags, right?! Thanks for the offer!

  189. Betsy says

    wahoo! Let’s see – I love the stockings, the wristlets, the totes, and the vacation bags. Can I get all that for $50? Hmmm… :) Oh, and the headbands! Gus, you are too fun! Thankful for your creativity and boldness!

  209. Jess says

    I heart the Tweet zipper pouch in black and white. I also love the Christmas stockings — so cute!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    P.S. As a Minnesotan turned South Dakotan…enjoy the snow! ;)

  211. Jess says

    P.P.S. I joined your newsletter list! My sister-in-law would love to get one of your pretties as a Christmas gift! :) Thanks!

  213. Kelly says

    The tote bags are my favorite! I have a young daughter and I need to tote a lot of stuff a lot of places, and with this bag I can do it in style!

  225. Abigail Alberico says

    I Love the idance polkadot wristlet/clutch! Love the colors and the size perfect for holiday shopping!

  226. Andi says

    I am in complete Christmas mode, and I just feel completely, utterly and totally in love with your Christmas stockings. Please PICK ME PICK ME! :)

    I just started sewing a year and a half ago, and I have no clue what I’m doing most of the time. I fake it. But soon I hope to be where you are – you are so creative!!

  229. Megan LaFollett says

    I love the laptop bags!!! But I think I’d have to go with the stockings first, since they are ADORABLE and I’ve never picked out stockings for our family (mostly because I’ve never found any that were *just* right).

  234. Danielle says

    I love everything -but if I had to choose my favorite item would be the organge and houndstooth zippered pouch.

  246. Mary Beth (The Blue Ladybug) says

    i LOVE your totes- ALL of them! And should be receiving mine in the next couple weeks (although I’m hoping it’ll come this week *wink*) If I had to choose another item, it would be a medium zipped pouch or a wristlet!

  248. Gailanne says

  284. Kelly says

    I need new stockings since I changed the colors of my Christmas ornaments for this years, and your stockings are super cute!

  288. Mama Pea says

    My favorite is the spearmint dot zippered pouch. I have another Gussy zippered pouch and it is the perfect size for my drawing pencils. (But I love everything in your shop! It’s tough to pick a favorite because all your color combos are so great. I also like the red plaid and the green floral and the peppermint dot… I like the damask totes, too!)

  291. April in CT says

    Oh, this is tough!! I love the tote/diaper bag in damask and choosing what color ruffle would be HARD. I also love the tweet in B&W zipped pouch.

  293. Shannon says

    Okay, I’m supposed to pick just ONE thing I love?? Oy. The thing I am loving the bestest is the damask laptop bag with the ruffle, but those headbands and cute little wristlets. How can you not LOVE something called a wristlet?

  311. ches says

    I want one of everything in your shop. Seriously you are good and I cant beleive you started sewing only 2 years ago, that is so impressive. If I had to choose I think i would get a set of 3 stockings or maybe a tote bag, or a zippered pouch, idk I heart everything.

  316. Suburban Sweetheart says

    I LOVE the tote bags (I won’t call them diaper bags yet because I’m childless!), & I even recently blogged about the bag (pink ruffle is my fave, I think) on my blog post about my holiday wishlist. I adore damask & ruffles. Best combo ever?

  331. gale says

    Subscribed to your newsletter (and tried to subscribe to your blog but kept getting a URL error!) :(

  333. Jessica says

    If I HAD to pick it would be the stockings.. no wait I changed my mind,tote bag, no laptop bag.. maybe some headbands… I dont know I cant choose, its all GORGEOUS!

  336. Sarah says

    I love, love, LOVE the stockings! I also love the tote for the non-holiday times, but the stockings are precious!

  360. Ashley M says

    I really like the stockings. It’s about time to replace the old “Walmart clearance stockings” anyways, so I may have to make a purchase even if I don’t win!

  367. TracieB. says

    I love the gray/yellow floral wrist/clutch! All your stuff is amazing! I am following you on Facebook and subscribed to your newsletter as well. Thank you for the opportunity to win! :)

  368. Whitney says

    What a tough decision! Your items are BEAUTIFUL! I really love the headbands! But your baby blankets would make for a beautiful newborn prop… I’d have a tough time choosing :) You should make DSLR camera straps :D

  376. Cate says

    I have long-loved your laptop bags, but just saw your stockings….hmmm….don’t know if I could pick a favorite now!

  391. Emily A says

    I love the Damask tote/diaper bag- if I’m being practical with a baby on the way, but part of me really wants a makeup bag! :)

  411. Janelle says

    Ooookaayy, I’m obsessed with the grey and yellow floral clutch. I can’t get enough grey and yellow. It’s a little ridiculous. But everything is so stinking cute!

  418. Megan says

    I love all of your stuff! It’s all so cute. Looking today, I am really digging your houndstooth pouch. Love me some houndstooth!

  423. Tasha says

    I heart the lovefeast tote bag. But all the things in your store are so wonderful. Hard to choose just one.

    Tasha

  424. Mindy says

    My favorite is definitely the tote bag with the pink ruffle. I have actually already made my Christmas list and sent it to my husband for this year. It has a couple of items from your shop (the oragne polka-dot makeup bag) so I hope he looks at it soon! I LOVE your ruffles!

  426. Ann says

    I LOVE the orange polka dot zip pouch, and the baby blanket in cafe, . . . and the STOCKINGS! Brilliant.

  431. Kat says

    If I won, I would probably put it towards 3 stockings. We’re in desparate need of replacing our dollar store velveteen ones . . . :P Thanks for the giveaway and the chance!

  442. Betsy C. says

    LOVE your Christmas stockings! I wanted to get new stockings for my family and a gift cert would get me half-way there!

  452. Reese says

    Well! I’m so glad I stumbled upon you! I LOOOOVE your stockings! Traditional xmas stockings are so… traditional? And I can only take so much of the velvet, green, red, blech. Sooo cute. I want one :) (or two…)

  454. Reese says

    And apparently I’m spamming your comments (even though you gave permission to spam with these entries ;))

    I also subscribed to your newsletter… and am totally awaiting said promo code to buy :D

  462. Sarah Ann says

    Hi there! I LOVE your new X-mas stockings! I’ve been blog stalking you for awhile so here is my reason to subscribe! Signed myself up for the newsletter too! That’s three entries, yay! :)

  468. Rachael says

    I absolutely love your gray and yellow floral wristlet and the LoveFeast vacay tote bag in charcoal w/ green floral ruffle. I’m a teacher and this bag would be perfect for everything I lug back and forth from home to school! :) Thanks for the chance to win!

  480. Kathy says

    First of all, I’m soooooooo glad I don’t live in Minnesota anymore. Can’t take all the cold and snow anymore!
    Secondly, I heart the damask laptop bag the most, but those stockings come in at an awfully close second!

  494. Crystal says

    I am sooo in love with your charcoal LoveFeast vacay tote bag!!! What a great shop you have…lots of people on my christmas gift list would love a zippered pouch so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

  501. Ashley says

    I love the Christmas stockings! I have been on the search for cute stockings and these would be wonderful hung by the fireplace!!

  506. Tonya says

    I’m so glad you took the leap to learn to sew and quit your job!! It takes a lo to of faith and courage.
    I’m torn between to favorites:
    1. The wide bottom bag
    2. The purple and green floral wristlet

  509. Jenifer T. says

    I tried to subscribe to your blog through the RSS link you posted but couldn’t get it to work so I subscribed to you through my google account.

  539. Elizabeth Holloway says

    i LOVE your gray/yellow floral wristlet! it is so feminine and i love that there aren’t a million others like it floating around :)

    thank you

  564. Jennifer says

    Hi – I love your teal/green polka dot zipped pouch …. AND your lovely Christmas Stockings :)

  565. Sydney S says

    I’ve been lovin the Run errands with a Gussy tote/diaper bag (PINK especially!!) for a while, but those stockings are amazing as well!!

  575. Heathahlee says

    My favorite would be the totes. I love the pouches, but the totes are so big! (ahem…my son calls my purse “The Pit” because I tend to put everything except dinner in it. So big means a lot. =) )

  580. Stacey A says

    I Triple <3 love the Damask Diaper Bag with the Pink Stripe…but the Christmas Stockings would be a great way to get me away from my generic red and white ones…hmmm…Love it all!

  585. Mara says

    I love the tote/diaper bag :) Would LOVE to use it to carry my things to work! So if I win {which I will, right??} that is what I’m going to put the $$ towards!

  604. Ellen Moore says

    I like the red plaid zippered pouch. I would use it to carry tea that I really like, so when I have lunch out, I could use my own tea bag and not have to drink tea I don’t like. (I really am a fussy tea drinker!)

  605. B Gauntt says

    I would love the green floral zipped pouch or the peppermint dot make-up bag for my sister’s Christmas gift!

  615. Jen says

    I always thought I loved your bags the most, but oh my, I love those Christmas stockings…maybe I need a few of those! -Jen

  616. Judy says

    I love those ruffle camera strap covers!!! I’ve asked for one from my husband for christmas! We’ll see if he figures out how to buy one online! Ha! I’m the online shopper in our house. I don’t think he’s ever done it!

  622. Michelle C says

    I like the Damask tote with the pink ruffle! Thanks for the chance to win!
    mrsmchappell at gmail dot com

  628. Evienlizzie says

    I “heart” everything! Oh, Um, I guess (this is a hard choice!!!) The Damask tote/diaper bag with a pink ruffle. I would totally use it EVERY day!!!

  633. Annie says

    My personal favorite is the pretty bouquet make-up bag, but so many of your items would make great gifts for friends of mine… This giveaway is just in time for the holidays!

  638. Melissa says

    I love the stockings. We have a new member of the family, so we need a fun new stocking. Hoping, I win!

  639. alysa says

    It’s a toss up for me, I love your stockings AND the beautiful baby blankets! I would certainly love to have to decide which one to get!!

  640. Kelly Eifler says
