I have a confession to make. I’ve never looked at a Thirty-One Catalog before.
What?
I’m busy.
No, seriously. I see the ads, the bumper stickers, the friends carrying them, but I never really took notice. Until my friend Aubrey (of the Chik-Fil-A platter fame) started using them. And she got asked about them so much she decided she’d be a rep just to make it official. And because I know my friend, I know if she likes a product, it’s really good. So when she shoved a catalog under my nose, I finally looked.
And I gotta tell ya: this stuff is pretty sweet.
Because I’ve got a lot of people to keep organized, my eye was immediately drawn to this utility tote.
My mind swirled with images of color-coded totes for each child’s schoolbooks. (Frankly, there are so many fabric patterns to pick from I got a little overwhelmed!) They could store their workbooks AND their pencils TOGETHER in a handy bag that could travel with them or live on the shelf and look pretty.
Sold.
And then, because I’m in the throes of planning the long-awaited beach trip, I wanted a large utility tote for all the STUFF it will require to take our circus on the road. Gimme.
(I would also take that little sweetie loaded in that tote, but I’m pretty sure Aubrey would object.)
Finally, because I’m a GIRL, my eye was drawn to all the purty purses that could also double as backpack, diaper bag, and first aid kit. Made out of blue jeans? YES, PLEASE.
I shouldn’t have been surprised by the Thirty-One goodness. Aubrey likes her life organized, every thing in it’s proper pocket. Thirty-One stuff is a perfect match for her. And because I need organization but never seem to achieve it perfectly, it may just work well for me, too.
Will it work for you? How about I give you a chance to win some and find out? Aubrey has a $31 gift certificate to be used on any Thirty-One product you want. (Cute, right?) And she is generously giving you FIVE different ways to win.

Also LOVE the Utility Tote… have been following your blog for awhile and also ‘like you’ on FB, but just added Aubrey’s blog
I’ve never even HEARD of Thirty-One things until tonight! So many cute things! One of the first things that caught my eye was the Expand-A-Tote Day Extender, but really, I think I could use one of everything!
I just followed Aubrey’s blog and I’ve follow here for a few months now.
Thanks for the giveaway! I don’t have FB or I’d follow there too!

I love 31!!!!! I have 9 kids, and 31 is my friend. It’s hard to pick a favorite but I’d probably say the large utility tote. I have six of these and could use more. They hold stuffed animals and dolls on beds, catch all for church days, blocks, laundry, etc. They are worth every penny.
So many things I want– I’ve never ordered a single thing for myself. I’d start with the large utility tote, probably.

The large utility tote in the catalog looks like it holds a lot. That might be perfect for library books.
I gave my mom the large utility tote for mother’s day. She uses it to carry things back & forth to the lakehouse. I love this product and secretly hoping someone buys me one! Oh, Thirty-One also has really good fonts. Like the fabrics, tough decisions!
Emailed Aubrey to sign up for emails!
So hard to pick a fave Thirty-One, but I, personally, wonder how I survived before my Large Utility Tote! I also own a REALLY handy Messenger Bag, which I use for school and I carry a Retro Metro bag as a purse. Love them all!
I love 31! I hosted a party in the spring and am about to host another before school starts. I have 3 oversized utility bins. One holds all our towels and floaties for the pool, one holds non-perishable snacks in the van, and the other is for whatever is needed. I want two or three more for hauling groceries to the house from the car. Such great products!
I liked your facebook page.
I am a friend of Aubrey’s, and catch up on your blog every few months. Excited for all of the new changes in your life. Congrats!
I really like the skirt purse and how interchangeable it is.
I’ve subscribed!
I love 31. Hard to pick a favorite.
. I’d love to have an all-in-one organizer tote.
I “like” you on Facebook.
