Time to find out who won our first ever giveaway!

Congrats to Ida who won the lunch tote! Look for an email from me so I can mail your prize 🙂

I’m pretty excited because today is our first ever giveaway here at Just Us Four.  Back before I took on my newest challenge as an Independent Consultant with Thirty One gifts, I was working with another one of their consultants to do a giveaway.  That is actually a little of the backstory to how I became a consultant because she is now my sponsor.

I’ve been using Thirty One bags for awhile now thanks to my mom’s insatiable shopping habit.  You may remember our car bag.  We also use them around the house to store painting supplies, toys and a lot of other stuff.

My first every introduction to Thirty One though was an insulated lunch tote (notice how much of my life revolves around eating!).  My mom brought me three of them on one of her visits and I was in love!  Finally, an insulated lunch tote that fit all of my stuff (usually a breakfast, 2 snacks and lunch) and looked good too.

Have you guessed what the give away is yet?  Courtesy of Ms. Wendy James, Thirty One Gifts Independent Consultant (and my sponsor!), this week’s giveaway is for a Thirty One Insulated Large Lunch Tote.  She even hooked us up with one of the new fall fabrics too!
