A great reason for my first blog comment! Thanks for the giveaway and thanks for making such gorgeous bags, Katie. You rock!

katie, your work is so wonderful. i check your blog and store constantly eagerly awaiting new things.
I have to throw my name in! I've been adoring your bags forever now and thought I'd try and treat myself to one for my birthday yesterday, but alas, I couldn't grab one in time! You're just too hot right now! Congrats - what a wonderful feeling!
am still trying to get my hands on a madebyhank shoulder bag!!!!!!
Pick me, pick me! I love your stuff. I have one of your clutches, which I love, but I am never fast enough to get one of your shoulder bags! And I really covet one of those shoulder bags! You are going places, girl!
Every day I check your sold items to see the beautiful things I've missed...Maybe one day.
yes, i need a fourth madebyhank bag.
i can't resist commenting, because that bag is so dang cute, but really - if my name is drawn, give it to another one of your adoring fans who has such a hard time finding something available in your shop.

Katie,
Your work is so unique and wonderfully beautiful. I love my made by hank purse and have bought a few others for friends who love them just as much. Canada loves MadebyHank!! I am so glad you got into the handbag business. I agree with Mary who said its always an adventure trying to get one of your bags before they are all snatched up.

Perhaps you should go back through the comments left periodically over the last few months and draw from those! ;)
Lovely work as usual.
Andrea
I think a 1/200 chance is better odds than being online when you post your bags. 8am EST is very early on the west coast!
This is so cute. What an amazing job!
