It has been almost two weeks since my last post. I've been really enjoying blogging of late and then we bought a new computer with Windows Vista on it. I'm not really sure what Vista is compatible with, but certainly not with anything on our computer. Hence, no blog posts. Anyway, I no complain. I think we almost have the whole computer thing sorted by the minute. I have to say that I really missed being able to communicate with our lovely blogging community.
To celebrate I'd like to give away a 90mm Ausways purse with the Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane map of your choice. For those of you who don't live in these cities, I'll make you another one and you can choose the fabric. Just leave a comment and you'll go into the draw. The draw will take place on Tuesday, 1 September.
The purses in the picture above are all for sale and you can find them in the Map 29 Shop.
ooh, I have to leave a comment just for you! Especially after you told you win stuff, too! (you and Cam, champions!). It took me while to get used to Vista, now i'm fine- but need to upgrade computers soon too, yay i think.

Ah yes. Vista. It's odd, isn't it? We have a new computer with that on it too. I think you can upgrade free when the new version of windows comes out soon.
What a great giveaway, btw!! :o)

I've been admiring your Ausways purses for a while now. To win one would be fantastic! I don't know anything about Vista. I might just stick to XP for a while yet...

Yay for the new computer. Not so good about Vista, hopefully I will never get to experience it, we are a mac household at the moment

Oh I'm always up for a bit more mappy purse goodness. Actually I'm in lurve with that housey fabric...
So I'm still keen for a coffee but late september is looking like my first opportunity :-( The Fella is off to Beijing for a conference.

I would just love and adore a Melbourne Map Purse - I would be the envy of all my city bound girlfriends!! Love finding ace Melbournian bloggers!

A thought... maybe if you lost the purse - it would find it's way back to you cos of the map??

Technology drives me mad at the best of times, but I am a mac girl through and through... dont even bother asking me ANYTHING about PCs. I love your purses and would love to win one... I've got got my fingers (and toes) crossed!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I think you already know about my fondness for map 30. And purses. And cool stuff to put in purses. But not so fond of new fangled computers that don't explain their place in the scheme of things.

Hey I found you through Curly Pops!! And I just bought my first Mix Tape which I swear was writen, printed and published solely for me!! I found the community of people I have been longing for!! YAY... So I live in Syd but want to fly to Melb really soon too. So maybe a map of melb would be in order as I don't drive and need a quick reference.. what do you think?

Posted by: Yana | August 30, 2009 at 04:19 PM
I'm another one who's come for a look through Curlypops. I do love your purses and would love to be included in the draw. Since I grew up in Brisbane, I'd have to choose an area from there! Great work Crafty Girl!
