You guys have my mom to thank for this giveaway! She won this bag playing bingo and thought she would pass it onto me to offer up to one of our readers! This Raspberry Fizz Messenger Bag from Vera Bradley is valued at $82. It features three pockets under the flap, two inside pockets and a full zipper pocket on the back. The flap has two push locks and a diagonal trim accent. The adjustable shoulder strap is 50 inches long and the bag itself measures 14 3/4″ by 11 1/2 inches by 4 inches. I love that the stitching on it provides a quilted look to it. You could probably fit a laptop in it, although it wasn’t made for that. It’s a good size bag for a ton of purposes.
I will make this the easiest giveaway to enter ever since I am not even making you visit any websites this time. You can write any comment you want! You can tell me your favorite flavor of ice cream, how your day is going, what you like about this blog, share with us where you are going on vacation this summer, tell my mom thank you or just say how much you want to win this!

Lazy Sunday at home today:) Thanks to your mum for the chance at a great Vera Bradley bag!
Your mom is SO generous! Weather here was great until this evening. Highs in the mid 80s after a cool week. Then tonight we had severe thunderstorms and were driving home when it hit. I’ve never seen such wind and rain and it was very scary. We ended up pulling over and waiting it out. Lots of big limbs and some trees down in the area and deadly tornadoes in other parts of the state. Hope everyone else’s weather was better.
you know what i like? peanut butter pie and messenger bags. but not together.
oh, my comment is in the wrong place.

THANKS MOM! Seriously this bag is super wonderful! Thanks for sharing, maybe I will win!
I absolutely love this bag and Vera…..Since my dog peed in my last $800 (remortgage the house) bag, I have resorted to the need to win one so my husband doesn’t declare himself bankrupt… HEHE…My day is going fabulous and I have a beautiful baby growing inside me.
Good luck to myself and (possibly) whoever wins this fabulous bag!
Your mom is very special lady especially since she is a Bingo player. We Bingo players know have to have a good time. It would be a honor for me to win this beautiful bag from one BINGO PLAYER to another and put my bingo winnings $$$$$ in it. It could be my good luck bag…..BINGO!!!!
I’m not usually a Vera fan but the colors and style of this bag are so cute and modern… how nice of your mom to donate it!
I would love this bag. My daughter and I need a new summer diaper bag to kick around the pool, the mall, the beach and the grocery store with.

i really love the messenger bag! i could use it anytime and anywhere! hope i’ll win! thanks a lot!
Maybe I could answer all of the questions…. I love this bag, it makes me crave raspberry sorbet!

I would love to win this bag, how good of your mom to have raised such a nice kid to host this giveaway!
The perfect bag! Thanks for the giveaway!
Thank you so much and please thank you mom for this awesome opportunity.
I would be so blessed to win this give away!

Thanks M
My favorite ice cream flavor has always been rainbow sherbet. I’m in Bangladesh as a volunteer right now, and am desperately craving a salad, haven’t had one in MONTHS. I need to stop thinking about food but it doesn’t help when the “Anti-spam word” is cupcake!

I’ve been spending my days in and out of Doctor offices unfortunately, 6 months preggo with a few complications! I try to have as much indoor/outdoor (bubbles, parks, shopping) fun as I can with my boys (Dev 3 yrs and Gab 15 mo.)! We are loving strawberries and icecream as of lately!
Thanks for this wonderful giveaway. Very attractive and unique messenger bag. Love it. Weather is gorgeous, sunny and 90. Summer is here.
I like….free stuff.
okay, i never thought i’d say it, but i’ve become a vera addict. it’s like my one thing that i’m willing to splurge on or get for free, whichever is appropriate at the moment! i don’t have anything rasberry fizz yet, but maybe i will after i win this one. tell your mom she’s the best and way too generous to not hold onto this jewel of a bag for herself.
Oh I would love to have a Vera Bradley. I just can never afford them! I so hope I win this! It’s gorgeous!
i like cherry chocolate chip soy ice cream.
and your mom is pretty awesome for donating that.
I’m going to visit my new grandchild in August! Yea. I’m very excited.
This is a great bag!! I would love to win it. As far our summer goes…we only have a few family get togethers and a trip to Hersheypark planned. I would love to have a great bag like this to take along
Wow, so nice of your mom to give up this bag — it’s soo cute! I would love to win!
I’m a chocoholic so my favorite kind of ice cream is, of course, Death by Chocolate!

I need a new bag. I love my seatbeltbag, but I’ve had it for a while and need something fresh.
I LOVE everything about this bag!!! I love it and I love you for making this so easy to enter!

I’ve been really having a rough couple of weeks and when I got up this morning I thought today was going to be just another slap-in-the-face day…then I stumbled on your Vera Raspberry Fizz contest… The excitement has me practically GIDDY! Thanks to you and your generous Mom for the boost I needed.
Yay for bingo winning mom and her generosity!
I love purses, handbags, and anything that will carry a book!
A bag is always welcome
Love it!!!
My wife would love this! My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate chip cookie dough.
Awesome bag!
Ice cream? I don’t do it so much anymore, since it makes me toot something awful, but in those moments when I’ve lost my mind, I go for Cookies ‘n Cream.
My summer will be spent visiting really old relatives, since it might just be their last year on earth. When you’re in your 90’s, people say that every year… I’ll also be attending a high school reunion and generally running amuck. Should be fun. Would be even more fun if I had that bag with me!
My favorite ice cream is anything double or triple chocolate, especially with chocolate brownie pieces. mmm, I’m gonna have to get some of that now. Thanks so much for this giveaway!!
Thank you to your Mother!!! I love that bag!!! And I have a wonderful use for it….myself & my family do fundraising all year round for Cystic Fibrosis because my beautiful Granddaughter has CF. I would sell tickets to win this and be able to benefit CF.
Oh…and my favorite ice cream flavor is BR’s Gold Medal Ribbon.
Cindy
My day is going good – it is the last day of school (I am a teaher) and SCHOOL’S OUT FOR THE SUMMER!!!
I love the bag!! Hi, my name is Lindsie and I’m a bagaholic!
Hi, Kristi here, I love my 20 yr. old wonderful son, Heath bar blizzards, my 80 pound dog Daisy, laying out at the pond or beach like I did today, Ralph Lauren Romance perfume, hanging out with my 2 nieces who are 8 & 5.
I hope my future husband looks like a mixture of Benecio Del Toro, Ray Liotta and the fine guy on the show Burn Notice. Please God. ~Grin~
Thank you for your giveway and thanks to mom! Kristi
I love the Vera Bradley collection! I’ve been dying to get a messenger bag and the Raspberry Fizz is a beautiful design! I would love to have one when I go back to college in the Fall!

Thanks so much to your mom. I love the bag and would love to be wearing it all summer.
GREAT BAG!! I had a Vera Bradley once that I lucked onto at a thrift store, but alas, my best friend decided she would love to have it and I couldn’t deny her. So, it became her favorite diaper bag. Anyway it was a pleasure and a joy to see her get so much enjoyment out of it, and I am sure your Mother will feel the same joy in knowing her bag was being enjoyed by someone else. Thanks, Mom for the opportunity to be on the receiveing end of such a wonderful gift!
(Lots of “JOY” in this little blog, huh? haha! that’s what life is all about!)

I’d like to express wonderment about the fact that it’s the most gorgeous sunny and beautiful day here finally and I’m still inside in front of this computer looking at my favorite blogs.

My daughter just spent the day at the emergency room, and it wasn’t fun. She has a puncture wound in her foot that she had to get checked out. She has to get surgery soon.
I was hoping to give the prize (if I won) to my daughter.
By the way, that sounds like something my mom would do for sure! Thank your mom for me!

I really like this bag. It would fit all the stuff I feel I need to take whenever I go away for the night. Its different and very attractive.
Oh, my favorite ice cream flavor is burgundy cherry.
I would love to win this one really cute
This is by far the most beautiful of fabrics. I have two bags from like ten years ago and they make this bag look like heaven. And how nice of your mom to donate this to the giveaway.
i love chocolate ice cream
Great Bag Would love to win this
I am thinking that I am playing at the wrong Bingo Parlor. What a cute prize. I could definately see if my laptop would fit in it. That would make a perfect carrier
very nice!
Random acts of kindness are the best since they are always unexpected and usually always needed by the receiver. Your Mother must be an amazing person who clearly today demonstrated that to us in terms of this giveaway! My dilemma on a daily basis is trying to find clothes and accessories to wear that fit into my lifestyle of being a mother with 3 small children and also looking stylish at the same time. I am always lugging so much “stuff” with me everyday that the kids need and I am continually feeling “dumpy” looking and unattractive. I am on the hunt for functional but feminine and chic looking clothes and accessories that will bring out the fun, flirty woman in me but enable me to also be the mother that I am. That is why I decided to join in on the fun today and enter your giveaway! This messenger bag is not only totally functional and perfect for my lifestyle, but it is also tres chic and so pretty and feminine. I would love to use it to help me begin to put my best foot forward!
Very pretty.
I love the bag!
Thank you !
You can put a smile on my face by telling me that I’m the winner!
great prize! I hope I win.
What a nice bag. It will match the ones under my eyes!!
I would definitely have to fight my daughter for this one.
This is such an adorable bag and looks quite spacious! It would go just perfect with my pink hair.
Great bag. I want to win!

I just went to the “big city” with my husband and five year old son. We went to the home improvement store – which was crowded with people. I honestly don’t know which one acted more mature.
I need a bubble bath, some “mommy time”, and possibly a cocktail… but that bag would sure make my entire month a little brighter! PAISLEYS! Whoo Hoo!
ooooh that was super nice of your Mom to give it up for your contest! It’s gorgeous! I don’t think I could have parted with it! (and believe me, I won’t if I win, haha)

I can’t believe it is May and it is already too hot and too humid – what am I going to do in July and August – yikes!!

I love Vera Bradley
