1000 follower party & a giveaway you can tote your stuff in!

My Blogging Friend Donna is hosting an amazing event, she has hit 1000+ followers this week! That is something I only dream of accomplishing someday!

So it is time to celebrate! Do you know miss Funky Junk?? Well if not, you need to jump on over to her site to see all of the wonderful things that she does. I am inspired by her daily, and just spend some time looking and you will quickly know why.This is just one of my favorite items that she made, you can read more about it HERE.

There are so many more amazing things over at Funky Junk, you just have to go see for yourself, plus she is having a different giveaway each day this week!

Not only does Donna make the most amazing things, but she has the best tips ever!

And did I mention that she is a great person? She really has the most kind heart, is funny, and can really brighten your day any time you need it! So be sure to go visit Donna over at Funky Junk, and if you love her blog don't forget to follow her so you don't miss a single amazing post!

Now on with more fun! I am lucky enough to be a part of Donna's amazing week! If you are new here at The little Green Bean I am happily married to one of the most amazing men, really he is something else, just ask anyone who knows him! We have 3 wonderful boys, who keep us going all the time! We both work full time, but always find time to do projects and crafts! I recently started a small little business over on ETSY selling some of my hand made goodies. I started making tote bags from recycled coffee bean bags, and from there, I just couldn't stop! I have always been crafty, but I feel like I have finally found my niche'!
I love to also take "junk" and re-purpose it! It is simply amazing what you can do with stuff other people throw away! And not to mention, great for the environment! I am willing to spray paint almost anything, and am learning to love the local thrift stores! Here are a few of my favorite things I have re-done!See the before and after of these chairs hereThis was a door that I noticed at my neighbors that had been leaning up against his garage forever, he sold it to me for $6!

So on with the giveaway! One lucky person is going to win one of my original tote bags! Be sure to leave a comment back at Funky Junk, letting Donna know which bag you would choose if you win!

Here are the 3 bags that you may choose from, there are many more are available at mt Etsy shop, among many other fun things!

Aww you are so nice! I notice you aren't giving away my Charlie owl I am coveting. That's good, when I finally save up the $ it will still be there.

Hey, maybe I'll try to convince my hubby I need it for my recovery.
