  29. emilee says

    i think if I **had** to choose, I would go with yellow – because it’s happy and I really need some happy.

  31. Kristi {at} Live and Love Out Loud says

    The yellow woodgrain is my absolute favorite! I’d take it BlogHer ’11, Bloggy Bootcamp, church, picking my kids up from school, to the grocery store. Heck, I’d even take that bad girl to bed with me! I love love love the market tote! *drools*

  57. amy says

    First, thanks to @jenjentrixie for tweeting this little giveaway! I would pick the yellow woodgrain. I just moved to Seattle, WA, and they have farmers markets here. I think it’s a perfect fit. ;D

  58. Jamie says

    I L.O.V.E. the yellow woodgrain. It makes me fantasize about warmer weather. I’d love to take that beautiful bag to the farmer’s market in spring. :)

  67. Cindy says

    Ooooo! I would take the black damask (with a red ruffle!) to the beach. And I would plan a trip somewhere warm just for that. ; )

  68. Eden says

    Oh, it’s hard to choose between the Yellow Woodgrain and your Pink Starbust. I think I would have to go with the pink one though; I’m not a fan of gray. ;) I would take my Pink Starbust to my college campus…I could use a new bag to carry my college supplies in. ;)

  69. taryn says

    SO fun is right!

    i’m in love with the pink starburst tote! and the black/gray damask with a pink gussy ruffle! i love pink…lol getting pretty personal ;)

    i’d love to win! i have a laptop bag and unfortunately i never get to carry it around anywhere because i never take my laptop anywhere! so i’d love to win a tote just to show it off more…anytime i could use it! fingers crossed!

  71. Leigh says

    WOOHOO! THank you! I totally love the new black/gray damask~ I would take it to BLISSDOM next week and everywhere else I go!!!

  79. Tracey says

    I would take the Yellow woodgrain to Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University! We just started this week and it is so fun :)

    Thank you for doing a giveaway!

  80. Elisabeth says

    I think my favorite post is the one where you announced that gussy was officially your full time job. So thrilling to follow this journey with you almost from the beginning!!

  83. Crystal says

    i’d pick the black/gray damask and take it *hopefully* to Relevant :) And to work. And to show off at my sister’s. Oh and probably on our beach vacation in June…

    :)

  90. Carrie H says

    I think would pick the pink starburst or the black and gray damask with the pink ruffle.

    I would take it everywhere!!! It’s so cute!

  92. emilee says

    breathing space is one of my faves, because we all need reminders of how to handle that viscous D.

  93. Piper says

    I’m all about the yellow woodgrain. I’d fill that sweetie with my knitting supplies and off to the park we would go.

  94. taryn says

    and i follow gussy on twitter too! i guess you would call me a gus-a-holic?

    @tttaryn

    and yes, my fingers are still crossed!

  100. Heather W says

    Love the Pink Starburst! Dreaming of the spring and taking that beautiful tote to the first Farmer’s Market of the season!

  104. Eryn {mamahall} says

    I would take the Yellow Woodgrain to Music class on Mondays, to Target and errands on Tuesdays, to BSF on Wednesdays, to the park, library and playground on Thursdays, and to MOPS on Fridays! And to Relevant, of course :) lOVe.

  106. Crystal says

    Favorite post lately is the finger knitting tutorial! I looked like a total rockstar today when I showed up at work with my new necklace ;) Hot stuff!

  112. Mandi says

    Oh gosh it’s so hard to decide – and one is on my wishlist for as soon as I have some extra $ to splurge on myself – I really love the yellow woodgrain! (Also love the black/gray damask though… so hard to pick!)

  113. michelle says

    Oooh…it’s a tie between the yellow woodgrain & the black/gray damask. I would carry my Gussy everywhere…I’ve been wanting a new purse!

  116. Leigh says

    My favorite post is “How I stay Organized- The Gussy folder”. It really helped me with some new things for my blog.

  123. Nicole M says

    OHHHH MAN!!! I would get the yellow and gray and I would take it pretty much everywhere I leave the house. TO the park, the store, church!! It would be my downsized diaper bag. I would LOVE on it so well!

  132. Lauren says

    Definitely the pink starburst! I’d (like many others) would use it to take my knitting to coffee shops. Knitting, friends and coffee is a fabulous combination! It might also make an appearance at the Saturday morning Farmer’s Market!

  137. Hannah says

    I’m not usually a fan of yellow but for some reason I love the yellow/gray combo! Every time I see it, it grabs at me! Hmmm… I’m a mom, I’d probably take the bag EVERYWHERE. Room to stash our necessary things when out and about for the day! Thanks for a great giveaway.

  138. Brittany says

    I love them all, but I’m totally in love with the yellow! I would use it to hold my headshots when going to auditions and my extra clothes when I go to yoga. Love the Gus!

  148. Heidi says

    totally didn’t put where I’d take it….I’d take my new Gussy to school :) it’d be perfect to carry all those kid books that I read ;)

  153. Cari says

    YELLOW WOODGRAIN!!!! Er….um…I mean… I would very much like the yellow wood grain, please. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!! {please!}

  154. Lauren says

    I love your posts where you talk about learning to sew from books and YouTube because, well, that’s how I’ve been teaching myself knitting patterns. You can only make squares for so long before you get bored (and on the topic of knitting, the finger knitting tutorial was pretty sweet!).

  157. Heather G. says

    Ooh!! I’d choose the yellow wood grain, and I’d take it EVERYWHERE!! Seriously – I would take it everywhere. And definitely to the Queen Bee Market in May!

  161. Bethany says

    I am really digging the yellow woodgrain. And I’d take it everywhere! I really think it’s be the perfect Bible Study bag since it would hold my Bible, book, journal, pens, highlighter, keys, and phone! :)

    You are so very talented!

  169. Ariella says

    I like the 1/9/11 pretty fun things post, especially those bows.
    Also like the recent organization tips you’ve posted.

  170. ShooflyMama says

    I would get the black/gray damask with a pink ruffle, and take it just about everywhere, but definitely to the coffee shop so I can read and relax in style.

  173. MayLynn says

    Black/gray damask!!! Love it and it will make the perfect tote for my trip to have my 2nd daughter in less than 7 weeks! Followed you on twiiter and liked you on FB – already have Gussy on my google reader!

  174. Sarah Ann says

    Black and Gray Damask for sure! And if I had this I would take it to the pillow party I’m going to on Saturday- total girls night so I’d have everyone oooing and ahhhing over it! :D

  188. Maggie says

    Definitely the black/grey damask {with pink ruffle}. I would take it with me to the fabric store! I can’t wait to try out the zippered pouch tutorial and I need to pick up some yarn for a gift I’m making, so this would be the perfect stylish bag to carry my purchases in! :)

  191. BreeT says

    I love your posts about how you quit your day job to make your dream come true! What an inspiration!

  195. Meredith says

    I love the pink starburst and I would absolutely take it everywhere with me! It is soo cute!

  203. Shasta Looper says

    I LOVE the yellow woodgrain market tote with the grey ruffle! I would take it with me on our upcoming Dollywood field trip with 60 5th graders. Lots of room for permission slips, epi pens, and bandaids :)

  219. ashley says

    hard to chose just one! but if i must, i loooooove the black/gray damask with the pink ruffle. thanks for the surprise giveaway! a (underscore) gurski (at) hotmail (dot) com

  228. Catherine says

    I LOVE the yellow woodgrain! I would use it when I take my little boy to the library…and I can think of about a million other places I could use it, too!

  230. Southern Gal says

    I love your about me page. And the favorite posts are the ones leading up to your quitting your “day” job to sew full time. An inspiration to me.

  231. Taryn D says

    I just adore the yellow wood grain! I would use it to carry my preschool silent auction stuff around. A sure way to make me smile when I get stressed!

  233. tara says

    I love love love the yellow woodgrain and I would totally take it with me to this new tutoring gig I have at the University and all my classes. It would cheer me up on the longest days!

  239. Ashley says

    I love ANY post about Bauer. I’m dog crazy myself, so I love getting on here and seeing his cute little face. I just to hug him and kiss him and eat him up. But I won’t ;)

  246. Megan says

    I LOVE them all, but I would probably pick the yellow! Where wouldn’t I take it?! It would be great for church especially!

  248. ashley says

    i’d loved the post on organizing…the one where you made the cute binder. Inspired me to make my own!

  255. Janis says

    I love the yellow woodgrain tote! I would definitely use it anytime I went to the market…or anywhere!

  257. Lindsay says

    I fell in love with the pink starburst market tote when you first posted it. I would bring it with me when I take my 2 year old to the park for a picnic! I might also use it as my bag when I go to teach my dance classes.

  264. Danielle J. says

    Woot! Woot! I LOVE the Gray/Black Damask I would like to replace my drab purse with that beauty!!

  272. Lindsay Luton says

    I LOVE the yellow woodgrain tote and would use it to carry around everything that comes with having a 15-month-old son!

  275. Jamie says

    I would love the woodgrain tote- I would take it everywhere I go. I could take it with me when I go to the flea markets looking or treasures.

  279. Janis says

    I loved your post where a reader gave her gussy to a homeless woman. random acts of kindness, expecting nothing in return. I love it!

  283. Corrie says

    I’d take the pink starburst bag with me EVERYWHERE and share Gussy with my girlfriends and also recommend Gussy to the guys who are in National Guard with my hubby!!!

  299. Kelly says

    I’d choose the black and gray damask…but if given a choice I think I’d like a white ruffle. I love things that are neutral that can literally go with anything. :) I would take my market tote EVERYWHERE!! I would use it to tote around my own stuff and my daughter’s stuff in style. :)

  304. Corrie says

    My fave post is your “about Gussy” post because it tells your story of how you & Zack were newlyweds and having a rough time and it goes on to tell how you taught yourself to sew, quit your full-time job, and made Gussy your full-time job. It’s inspirational.

  309. gina says

    my favorite post on here – is every post you write.

    seriously.

    your blog such a GREAT mix of business news, pretty and inspiring photos, soul-bursting joy and enthusiasm, encouragement… great giveaways; it’s a DAILY must read for me!!!

  320. Kelly says

    My current fav post is your tutorial on how to sew a zipper. I love learning new things, and you did a great job explaining how to do this…keep the tutorials coming!!!!!

  329. Jan says

    I like to damask tote. I would “tote”ally take it everywhere I went, but especially to the market because it is soooo much more responsible than paper or plastic. I would wear it proudly and be green, gussy style! jfletch56@hotmail.com

  332. Erin says

    I would love to have the pink starburst! I would take my gussy to work, school, and everywhere in between!

  334. Mindy says

    I would take the black/gray damask with pink ruffle EVERYWHERE! I think it would make the perfect purse for me.

  337. april c. says

    i already ordered a damask tote, so i would choose the yellow woodgrain for my *new* laptop. i would take it to every coffee shop in san diego – which will be our new home in a little less than 2 months…. in the words of someone famous: “YEOW!”

  339. Suzanne says

    I follow you on Twitter!! And I forgot to say where I’m going to take my tote, because the answer is EVERYWHERE. But I would be most excited to take it to knitting!

  340. Erin says

    My favorite gussy post was your letter to Bauer–I love your Bauer posts because we got our puppy at about the same time you got yours!

  346. April says

    I love the yellow woodgrain! I would take it with me to our local farmers market, or anywhere else for that matter, it is adorable!

  348. Brittany says

    I also follow you on twitter, but then, you knew that. Thanks for the opportunity, Gus! Happy day and congrats to whoever is the winner! (i hope it’s me…)

  349. connie says

    I love the yellow woodgrain one! It would make the perfect bag for travel..I’d take it to Germany with me on my next trip.

  351. april c. says

  361. Rachel says

    Love the black & gray damask! Gorgeous! I’ve been thinking that I need a new carry-back-and-forth bag for class and work… mine is getting a little worn… I’d use this bag daily!

  367. kim says

    aaand my favorite post was when you officially quit your day job. your excitement radiated from my computer screen!

  369. Ashley says

    The yellow wood grain is just adorable! Well, they all are, but that yellow wood grain has stolen my heart. I would definitely carry this to church. It would be perfect to place my Bible in on those days that I have my nephews and niece and need both hands free!

  371. Kristen W says

    I love the yellow one! Love it! And where wouldn’t I take it?! The library, carry my knitting in it, the list could go on and on…

  374. JennaFarelyn says

    I love the post where you quit your day job :)

    I would want the pink starburst, and I would take it everywhere, get compliments on it’s adorableness, and have business cards inside it to promote you.

    You.. you are awesome, and I love your stuff :)

  377. Felicia says

    I love the black and grey damask and I would take it to the park when I go with my kids to carry our essentials…you know bottles and fruit snacks :)

  379. Julie S. says

    I am torn between the yellow woodgrain or the black/gray damask with the pink ruffle. I am currently wanting it to use as my primary purse, so that I can take my camera with me everywhere.

  385. Shannon Vytlas says

    I would pick the Yellow Woodgrain Print and I would take it EVERYWHERE!!!!
    It would be especially cute taking it to flea markets, I could fit a lot of little treasures in it.

  393. Chelseabird says

    Where wouldn’t I take the yellow woodgrain market tote really? Well since I am not sure I will tell you where I would take it: to class, to the movies, on a photo adventure, on a bike ride to the park, on a date to my favorite pizza place, on a picnic – just about everywhere really!

    Hoping to win this one! I would LOVE a Gussy tote!

  398. Julie S. says

    My favorite post is your About Gussy post. It is so incredibly refreshing and inspiring to hear your story- and even more so when you share your successes with all of us! Keep up the good work!

  404. Stacey says

    Yellow Woodgrain + I would take it along with me on my Substitute Teaching Adventures. Yes, that’s a real thing. :)

  411. Stephanie C. says

    I’d go with the yellow. Though the pink comes in a VERY close second. And I’d take it everywhere when I didn’t have my 2 year old with me! (The tote is necessary when he’s along!)

  414. katie says

    my favorite post was the youtube video when you said there was something huge coming! It was the first post I read here! You had me hooked ;)

  421. Stacey says

    The black/gray damask all the way (with yellow of course), and it would be my new ‘carry all’ bag on the go – magazines, coupons, etc!

  424. Kodi says

    My favorite post is the one where you announced you were quitting your job to be Gussy full time. I remember being so happy for you! Great decision!

  426. Daisy says

    I love the black/gray damask! It would be my new work tote. I love having a bag the girls at work envy. I have been lusting after a Gussy bag for a while now.

    My favorite post of late, is the one where you just had to ‘blurt’ it out….at least I think that es how you put it. It is so refreshing to see someone that is so honestly happy with their life. You seem to be a genuine sweet soul!

  428. Bonnie says

    ZOMG that pink starburst is adorable! I’m having a baby in stwo weeks, so where WOULDN’T it go?! Plus, it’s a boy so I need more pink and less blue!

  430. Felicia says

    My favorite post was Beauty among the hurting. It brought tears to my eyes. I am always saddened at how people treat the homeless or forget that they are human too and this story just gave me warm fuzzies.

  432. Paige says

    I LOVE the black and gray damask! I would take it everywhere! haha but seriously I’d probably use it as a laptop bag if it fits!

  433. Elizabeth Holloway says

    I couldn’t love the yellow woodgrain fabric more if I had picked it out myself! this tote would replace a diaper bag (of my soon to be potty-trained son) as my go everywhere bag :)

    thank you ;)

  442. Jess :) says

    I am having a tough time choosing between black/gray damask and pink sunburst!! LOVE them both and would take it EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! :) :)

  444. Jennifer says

    I love the black/gray damask tote with the pink ruffle. As soon as I find a job, I plan on getting one to use as my new ‘work’ tote. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later! ; )

  447. Jesica says

    Well, I like the black/grey damask! And, I would take that baby everywhere! It would help me tote all my new baby goodies, some fruit snacks for the big brother and my burts bees for mama! :)

  451. Paige says

    I love the official tour of your new home!! Your decorating style is beyond adorable and can’t get enough pics of the Whitley home! :)

  454. Rebekah says

    I’m trying to decide…I kind of like them all! either the black & grey damask or the pink starburst…so hard to choose…

    and since I live in ridiculously-warm-for-January southern California, I might just have to pack a good read and a tasty cold beverage and head to an outdoor bench with my tote! if I won, that is.

  459. Jennifer says

    My favorite posts of yours are about your new puppy, Bauer. That sweet pup always brings a smile to my face when you post pics of him. I’m sure he melts your heart.

  460. Rebekah says

    I’m so appreciating your post on sewing zippers – the last one I tried gave me a beast of a time!

  461. Michelle C says

    I love the black/gray damask with the pink ruffle. I would take this with me to school ~ I’m a full-time student! Thanks for the chance to win!
    mrsmchappell at gmail dot com

  462. sarah says

    I would have to say the pink starburst, and I would take it everywhere!! Really, I would stash a knitting project or two in it and keep it with me all the time!!

  465. Natalie says

    I loved your post recapping 2010. I got to go back and see so many stories and posts that I missed prior to being a devout gussy follower AND a laughed histerically inside… especially about that one time when that lady (was she a plumber? I forget) saw your hubby nude! Haha! You’ve let your readers in on some great times!

  466. Heidi G says

    The yellow woodgrain makes me happy :)
    I would tote my current embroidery project with me all over town to appointments and on trips. The size is perfect and the style is inspiring.

  469. Michelle C says

    My fav. post if your recent tutorial about how to make a zippered pouch. I can’t wait to try it!
    mrsmchappell at gmail dot com

  472. Patricia says

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE the black-gray-damask! I would kill to have one for our vacation this spring! I’m so sick of carrying a diaper bag or a big “mom purse.”
    I love all your products! I’ve been eying the iPad cover, too!

  480. Bri says

    Yellow woodgrain! And I would take it to Vegas this spring where my hubby and I are planning a little kid-free getaway!!

  493. Rachael says

    I totally love the yellow woodgrain with grey gussy ruffle! And I would take it to school with me…I’m a teacher and I’m always needing something to throw my planner and extra papers, etc. in! This would be just perfect! Thanks for the chance to win!

  498. Jessica says

    I adore the yellow! I’d take it everywhere, but especially think it would cheer things up when I volunteer at the free tax program. :)

  500. Diane Miller says

    Oh my Gussy….you the best!!! You know how to make winter soooo much fun and *brighter*!!
    Okay…it’s hard to choose…but today because it is so dark and gray…I’m gonna pick the Pink Starburst tote. I could carry it *everywhere.* But, if I win…I’m going to fill it with some special goodness for my friend (who *loves* tote bags) and give it to her. She has a deep deep hurt and I just know that this would be amazingly special to her….and knowing that is was handmade by such a wonderful godly gal like you would make it even more meaningful to her.
    You’re the best!! Thanks Gus!!! Hugs!

  501. Joy Dillard says

    I love love love your totes. They are all cute as a button, but I love the yellow and gray the best. If I had one of these, I would take it with me to the flea market where I like to shop for treasures. :) I would stuff it with all the necessities needed for the flea…cash, coins, lip gloss, and cell phone.

  502. liz says

    i would definitely pick the yellow woodgrain! it will be the perfect spring bag for me to take everywhere!

  507. Kate says

  511. Constance Mahaffey says

    I love the Black/Gray Demask. I would take it everywhere, shopping, church, work.

  512. Karen Davis says

    yellow woodgrain, hands down, is my favorite tote!! I would take it to the “4” and “9” Market here in Korea… basically it’s an open air market (lots of fruits and veggies and scary things like fish heads ) :) that are only on days that start or end with a “4” and “9”!

  526. Anna Camperson says

    Yellow Woodgrain – I would take this fabulous bag with me EVERYWHERE! It would be the perfect fit for my “mommy-on-the-go” lifestyle – I could hide surprise treats for my 3 year old and carry slobbery teething toys for my 9 month old – it would be PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT! :)

    -Anna

  531. Becky W. says

    My favorite posts are the ones you give advice/info etc. on becoming a better small business owner, blogger and full time Gussy. I bookmark each one you post and read through them all the time hoping to one day be as well known and successful as you are. Thanks for all you do. ;)

  533. hiyaluv says

    well YEOW lady! :) I would be happy with ANY of the market totes but I would love the yellow woodgrain. Wait, my heart just skipped a beat with the thought of carrying one about town! Where would I take it? Only every where! I should take pics of my laptop bag and show you how “well loved” it is because I don’t leave it at home. It is always over my arm and by my side! Same goes for my pencil pouch! :) oh swoon. :)gina

    Dear Market Tote,
    I will be dreaming of you and the fun we could have. And Polo says he would hide his bone in you when I’m not looking so even he wants in on the goodness!
    Love,
    gina

    okay done being crazy now. xoxo:)

  540. Jill says

    Oh Market Tote, I will take you everywhere with me! I’ll put my little Gussy bag inside of you and carry you both around all over the place ;) The yellow grain is my favorite :)
    Jill

  541. hiyaluv says

  557. Mama Pea says

    All of the color choices are so pretty! My favorite is the black/gray damask with a red ruffle. I would use it as a work/school/diaper bag for my job/classes/son — I like having one tote I can use for anything and everything :-)

    ya know, I’m all about pink, but the more I look at the yellow woodgrain one I think I’m in love! I’d take it with me to the ladies day out and bible studies, and then it would definitely have to accompany me to the ladies retreat this summer!
    thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway!

    I would totally love the black/grey damask bag and it would be going to Hawaii with me in three weeks!!

    My favorite posts are your business posts! They have been so very helpful to me as I have begun this crazy fun adventure in the world of selling handmade and owning my own biz!

    And right now, my favorite post of yours is how to sew a zippered pouch, followed closely by the finger knitting tutorial. You make it look so easy. :) I hope to try those soon!

    I love the black/gray damask!! Totally my color scheme. And as for how I’d use your gorgeous bag, my hubby and I just moved into the heart of the city and we are blessed to be able to walk to work together every day (hooray for a 3 mile round trip that doubles as my “workout” for the day). I could definitely use a cute bag to haul all the many random things I can’t live without back and forth from home to work.

    Plus, in the wet and somewhat dreary winter months of Portland OR, your bags are so cheerful who wouldn’t smile when passing one on the street? So technically I’d be doing every one else in this city a favor by carrying one around. :)

    Well,first of all….I Love your blog! My favorite tote is the pink sunburst and I would use it all the time! I travel to many swim meets for my kids and it would be perfect to carry all of my “stuff” around with me in such a fashionable way!

    Pink Starburst for sure, and I’d take it EVERYWHERE. Even to the bathroom to cart my kindle and water for my bath (like, water bottle, not bath tub water, because that would be weird).

  609. aliciamariel says

    oooh! I would go for the pink starburst because it’s so fun and cheerful, and it would go with me everywhere. I’d probably sleep with it under my pillow for extra sweet dreams. ;)

    I love the black/gray damask with the pink! My parents and husband conspired to give me a once in a lifetime birthday gift–so my Gussy would go with me to Paris!!!

  616. Rosi says

    Ohhh! I would love to win a tote bag, I *love* the pink starburst the most, but if it is Gussy it has to be good! I would sport my Gussy bag to school and everyone would ask where I got my lovely bag and I would say its a GUSSY~! Thanks Gussy for the giveaway!

    I liked your post about your workspace. You know what I love about you (and I don’t even know you!) is that you seem like you have a REALLY successful product and yet… you’re so simple. Your workspace is just a room in your place… it’s perfect! I love that it’s not over-the-top. Sometimes when people are successful it can go to their head and they need the newest, the best, the shiniest, etc. and you’re working with what you’ve got!

    I would choose the yellow woodgrain and I would carry it with me ALL the time. EVERYWHERE! I constantly carry bags around.

  637. Tara C says

    I would love the pink starburst one and I would take it with me to the Midwest Moms Media Bloggers and Brands Summit in July!

  647. Kristin Jones says

    Pink starburst is too cute for words!! I’d be the hottest mom at the local farmer’s market with that beauty! Go Kingsfield Farmer’s Market in Minneapolis…woot!!
