Congrats Maya!

Oh, that's a gorgeous bag! Congratulations!

Congrats, how cool! :)

Woohooo, I think somebody's luck may be changing!

How fun, Maya, congratulations!

That's great! It's a very cute bag!

Holy cow! That's awesome Maya! And it's animal friendly, so if the bag turns out to be great, you have a new place to buy bags from. :)

You are SO lucky - didn't you win a pair of jeans last year? Congrats!

I did Laura. I'm pretty good at winning things when writing is part of the process :)

Well, except I can't seem to win a job. Sigh.

I went and read your response-- clearly the best one. It's also clear that you need a job doing exactly this.

And, Congratulations! I can't wait to see you sport the bag.

Woooo! You totally deserve it!

Patience, BB wrote in her email to me that I am "quite a diplomat." Maybe that is my true calling.

Maya, congratulations! That's so great! Please let us know how you like the bag.

Congratulations! I agree with Patience, I wish I had half of your writing abilities :)

Fantastic! You need to be a lobbyist.

Perfect response, Maya- you were the clear winner. Maybe you should think about a job with animal rights, you could write for them or how about working at an animal product free retail shop??

That's awesome Maya! Maybe this is a sign that your luck is changing!!??!

Yay congratulations. What color are you going to get?

Maya, that's so great! You'll have to report on it when you get it. I'm interested in how it measures up to leather in terms of durability. It's a stunning bag. Will you be getting it in the brown color?

OMG, that bag is totally cool. Congrats Maya! Great response in the comment section -- very articulate :)

Congratulations - looking foward to hearing how you like the new bag!

Winning such a fab bag must feel good...how fun:)

Alecia, the color is evidently going to be a surprise. I'm hoping for tan or grey. We'll see. It's a gorgeous bag no matter what.

I honestly thought last night that you would make a fantastic political lobbyist! You are passionate, opinionated, articulate, intelligent and diplomatic. You would be perfect in that role!

Congrats!

Fabulous bag! Love the color!

YEA!! Congratulations!! A far better end to a not-so-great month, eh? Let's hope this is a sign of things to come!
