I recently watched the movie "Life as we know it" and really enjoyed it.
I adore the bag and the fabric pattern you used. Thanks for a giveaway. Hunger Games is still in my Amazon list of must reads.
Lovely bag and I'd love to find it hanging on the door knob of my sewing room. Thanks for the chance. I have read everything by Nicholas Sparks and highly recommend him.

What a fabulous bag! Thanks for the opportunity.
I love watching holiday movies this time of year - Elf, The Holiday, etc.
This bag is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so very much for a chance to win it. I have been reading a few books by Marie Bostwick and really enjoying them. Easy reading but very enjoyable. Next I'm reading something a little heavier, Stephen King's new novel "11/22/63"...about a man who goes back in time to try to prevent the JFK assassination. Thanks again!
That is a super cute bag thanks for the chance to win.
When I sit by the fire to read I love a good murder mystery. My favorites are John Sandford's Prey series.
Love the color combination you used on this tote. Good job!
Thanks for the great giveaway!

I love this tote & I love the fabrics you've chosen for it. If I don't win, I may have to make it myself. I am a follower. I would redcommend Outlander by Diana Gabaldon-if you haven't read this you would be in for a treat and be-come a rabid Jamie Fraser fanatic like the rest of her fans. Or Into the Wilderness by Sara Donati.
The tote is beautiful! Thank you for the giveaway. :)
I would suggest the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice or the Jane Austen book format if you prefer. ;) Lovely stuff!
I forgot to tell you my movie recommendation! If you would like to watch something Christmassy, family friendly, and with a bit of nostalgia try "Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas". :) It's a Jim Henson movie from the late 70's and it's on Netflix now.
The orange and blue prints together are so lovely! What a gorgeous bag. :) Thank you for the chance to win!
What a cute bag! I'd recommend The Accidental Sorcerer by K.E.Miller. It's really funny!
I reccomned you The White Tiger by Indian author Aravind Adiga.
Have a nice vacations!
Your fabrics are beautiful! I love the orange lining :)
I am reading Outlander/Cross Stitch by Diana Galbaldan and I am so obsessed with it that it makes me wish my commute was longer! It's a whole series too..
I like the combination of the two colours ....
As to the movie - nothing is better then the good old black and white Agatha Christie ones
I would recommend reading anything from Jane Austin. As a family we have read them all and even my hubby enjoyed them. The bag is beautiful. Thank you for a sweet giveaway!
Love the bag, just beautiful. Over Christmas break, we always need to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks and the Grinch who Stole Christmas. Let alone Christmas Story. Once we're done with Christmas movies, I'm ready to watch the Help finally.
Peace Like a River by Leif Enger
I've been admiring Anna's pattern for a while, and I love the fabrics you chose. I recommend "The Nativity Story" for a non-cheesy, realistic movie about the birth of Jesus.
addyforrest(at)gmail(dot)com
The bag is beautiful - great fabric choice! I found it fun to go back and read classic children's books - Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins, etc. ellen@myerly.net
What a beautiful tote. I'd be proud to carry that around.
What a lovely bag! Love the colours.
Just watched Mamma Mia, fun especially if you like Abba's music.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Love the blog. I would suggest Freya North books for a good read over the holidays. I'm normally a sci-fi fan but sometimes a bit of romantic comedy in a book is what you want. They are lovely books to read : )
The bag is lovely. The color choices are perfect! I really enjoy the sunny colors on the inside, it's like a little surprise when you open the bag!
I hope you're watching 'The Bishop's Wife' with Cary Grant and Loretta Young. I never miss it during the holidays.
I've been reading Elinor Lipman novels (fun, easy reads, with a twist or surprise in each one) and Margaret Maron (southern writer, mysterys - great, not gory)
I love this bag! I have always loved this pattern! Thanks for the giveaway! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net.
Such a pretty bag!! I love watching White Christmas :) A perfect snuggle up with hot chocolate movie
Great giveaway! Thanks!
I love the House of Winslow series by Gilbert Morris. They are historical fiction.
I love your bag! I hope I win! I love "It's a Wonderful Life" or "Miracle on 31st Street" this time of year. Love your blog!
This is such a cute bag! I love An Old Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott. It's a good relaxing and cozy read. :)
I love your fabric selection for this bag. I am so infatuated with Orange right now, so I doubly love it! Movies are so hard to pick, but if you are in a historical mood I really like Kingdom of Heaven with Orlando Bloom. If you can get the director's cut, it is much better!
Have a great holiday from one Canadian to another! (I'm in Ottawa)
OH this bag is lovely! I don't sit down to read much :( but i did just recently watch "Crazy stupid love" great movie!
oh winning the bag would help with me waiting for my table runner!
Hmm I think everyone should read the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho at least once in their life, so if you haven't read it give it a try !
Love the bag! Amy Butler fabric is my favorite!
I love the Tiger's Curse books by Colleen Houck! There are 3 out now, so they should keep you busy a while.
I love this bag! I'm thinking that a 241 tote needs to be my new diaper bag. If you haven't read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer yet, then I recommend that. The movie should be out soon!
You should read "Suzanne's Diary to Nicholas" while sitting by the fire. It's wonderful! I love this tote bag.
What a lovely bag, great fabric choices!
I love what Guy Gavriel Kay writes, also Terry Pratchett and Charles de Lint.
this bag is GORGEOUS! I love watching "come to the stable" during the christmas season, an oldie but a goodie! mlegracenote87@aol.com
I would love a 241 Tote, this one is gorgeous.
Great giveaway, beautiful bag! I'm loving reading anything by Jodi Picoult lately, enjoy your time by the fire! Thanks for the chance to win!
okiedokiemama at yahoo dot com
This bag is beautiful, I love all the pockets! I enjoy reading The Tea Shop Mystery Series by Laura Childs! Thank you for the lovely giveaway!
Lovely job on the bag -- thanks for the giveaway!
What a beautiful bag! One of my favorites is called Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde. It's a lot of silliness but I love it.
The tote is very cool! If Digital Expressions by Susan Tuttle doesn't fit perhaps a smaller book from the Borrowers series by Mary Norton for young (at heart) dreamers.
I love to watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer! sewvery(at)gmail(dot)com
I love the fabrics you chose for this!
My recent favorite novel is State of Wonder by Ann Patchett -- and as far as nonfiction, if you like birds, you might love Birdology by Sy Montgomery as much as I did!
Thanks for the giveaway! :)
I like most to knitting cooking.
Adorable bag! I love those older Amy Butler lines. As for books, I have a hard time reading books for fun, because I am an editor. BUT, I did really enjoy Marley and Me. :)
I just watched "Sarah's Key" - thought it was a great movie!
beth(dot)sebastian(at)gmail(dot)com
Leanne, you made that bag for me right? LOL I love it!
Good luck to us all!
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley, or Glenn Beck's The Christmas Sweater. Both good reads. The first book is pretty quirky.
Are you on Goodreads?
Another lovely blog and giveaway.
What would I recommend over the holiday period to watch... well I just re-watched 'The Blind Side' a couple of days ago such a heart-warming true story with Sandra Bullock if you haven't see it. Lovely.
email: magichappensxx AT gmail.com
I'm completely into Ms. Marple mysteries by Agatha Christie. I found out that Marple is in a classification of mystery novels called "cozies." From there I found Victoria Trumbull a woman in her 80s solving mysteries on Martha's Vineyard. I have no idea why I love these books so much, but there are a ton of them. Having a series to read is so great. Also Netflix has Marple on DVD and I love those too. Very cozy and nice to knit or craft or wrap gifts quietly whilst watching.
What a wonderful tote!
On Christmastime I like to watch the movie: "The Holiday" with Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Jack Black.
Enjoy your days,
Silke

Being a Canadian, I would be suprised if you haven't already seen the movie versions of the series of Anne of Green Gables with Megan Follows playing Anne. My hubby and I both love this series, I hope you will too.
That is a gorgeous bag! I think that is my favorite Amy Butler print!!
If you haven't seen Emmer Otter's Jugband Christmas, please give it a watch, I love it!!!
Great tote! if you haven't read any of Jennifer Chiaverini's books, they are fun and quick reads.
This is a gorgeous bag! I hope I win. As far as book recommendations...
The Help
Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers
It's a very pretty bag. Thanks for the giveaway!
I've been told I have terrible taste in books:) But I love pretty much any fictionalization of the British monarchy...I mean, really, American soap operas have nothing on Henry VIII:) Phillipa Gregory is a great place to start.
beckymac1 at hotmail dot com
I love watching the Christmas movies on TV, so very relaxing. As far as reading, the Room by Emma Donaghue.
The Princess Bride--book or movie. Although I love the book, I can't love it nearly as much as the movie with its brilliant cast.
Also, Jane Eyre, the book, which is my favorite. The recent movie is better than some but not nearly as enjoyable as the book.
gorgeous! i love ridiculous movies so i plan on renting the hangover 2 for christmas and a couple other funny ones :) raineoc@yahoo.com
Lovely bag - book - The Shack
What a gorgeous bag L! Love the 2-4-1 shape. I've just finished reading The Summer of the Bear which was really good, but the best book I've read all year is The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield - absolutely brilliant. Thanks for doing a lovely giveaway Jxo
A good book by the fire! Wonderful!
I always love the L.M. Montgomery series of "Anne of Green Gables," etc. The food and clothes descriptions are my favorite!
I adore the fabrics you chose for this bag. Thank you for the giveaway! I really love the Hunger games series, you could end up staying by the fireplace for days to read them all straight through. :)
I love the movie Love Actually this time of year. You can never go wrong with the BBC Pride and Prejudice, and if you haven't seen the miniseries "Wives and Daughters"... that is a must see !
Beautiful bag Leanne! We recently watched "My Idiot Brother" and we liked it a lot, but I think it is because I have an idiot brother! LOL
Hi Leanne,
I DO like what I see, so I´ll be happy to follow your blog. The bag and the fabrics ist so beautiful, thanks for the chance to win.
It would please me a lot, if you´ll visit my blog too or even be a follower there, and by the way, I have a giveaway too, last chance to enter is tommorow.
Liebe Grüße
Bente
I love the Monk books (the character from the tv show) by Lee Goldberg. I've never seen the show but someone gave me a book once and I laughed so much! The books are fun to read.
I love the bag you're offering.
Love your bag. As for a book recommendation - At Home; A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson. Actually anything written by Bill Bryson....
You should watch "Harold and Maude", best movie ever!
boardergirl.sm@gmail.com
You've done a great job on the bag! Love the fabrics! Book recommendations... I loved 'The Geurnsey Potato Peel Pie Society'. For movies - well, it isn't a movie, it is a miniseries, but 'Downton Abbey' was awesome!
I recently finished reading Water for Elephants...I actually didn't care much for the book but I did like the movie.
sntbosch@msn.com
I love this! So pretty! I recommend The Hunger Games too.
I LOVE your choice of the orange lining! At this time of year I love watching old black and white movies- my favourite being the Philadelphia story with Katharine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant :)
That bag is gorgeous!
I would recommend the book "Jayber Crow" by Wendell Berry. Just to warn you, it's a life story, so there isn't much of a plot---but it is beautifully written.
what a great bag, and i love that you made it from stash. well done you! good book...have you read the Hunger Games? I liked those...The Red Tent by Anita Diamant was good too..and i love A Suitable Boy...but I read it while living in London after college with my best friend, so now, i can't remember if the book was so great, or i was just loving life at the time!!! thanks for a chance!
You should watch the tv series "the tudors"
Love your fabric combinations on this bag!
Favorite movie this time of year has to be Elf. Just straight up funny!!
So cute! A good book is I Am A Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want To Be Your Class President. Easy read.
absolutely gorgeous bag - thanks for the fabulous giveaway Leanne - two movies I've seen recently that I enjoyed are Rumour Has It with Jennifer Aniston and Red with Bruce Willis - hope you have a very relaxing christmas :)
Beautiful bag! I enjoy anything by David Baldacci
I'm reading 1000 Gifts and life changing
You have made a beautiful bag and chosen lovely fabrics for it, Well yes I want it on my door knob. Lately I have been reading trashy romance novels so I think you would be better off getting a book recomendation from someone else. Thanks so much for the chance to win
I love the Poisonwood Bible
I love your choice of fabrics ... and pattern.
The Christmas Card movie by Hallmark was a big hit with my family this year!
My husband and I are totally engrossed in the George RR Martin books - A Game of Thrones and so on. Not sure if you're looking for that kind of commitment though...so if not, go watch Love Actually! I love that movie!
Thanks for this lovely giveaway :) I'll be watching Love Actually again this holidays, so I can thoroughly recommend it!
kate1485 at hotmail.com
You should totally watch White Christmas. It is so good! Thanks for hosting this giveaway...your bag is beautiful.
The bag is so fun, especially that pop of orange in the lining. I've had that pattern on my list to make.
I recommend The Help. It went deeper than the movie, though that was good too.
Love this tote bag, especially the fabric choices!
We have really been enjoying watching the Tudors.. a little scandalous period tv watching!
Beautiful tote. I would wear it with pride. If you haven't read the help, now is the time. Great read.
Holiday Inn is my holiday favorite. If you are looking for something non-seasonal try Desk Set.
A classic!

Thanks for the chance to win ^^v
So beautiful! Please count me in, thanks! I recommend "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, it's a wonderful book.
ap_lemos at yahoo dot com
Yes, I would like a tote! I'd love one that someone else made too - so special! I haven't been reading much lately, but I love all of Kurt Vonnegut's fiction.
Such a beautiful bag! I love the fabrics you used!
I love the book Jane Eyre. Such a good classic and perfect for reading by the fire. The movie Jane Eyre that just came out is beautiful!

Oh, I love Amy butler fabrics. How about If tomorrow comes by Sidney sheldon?
It would be exciting to have that bag hang on my doorknob. My doorknob is embarrassingly naked right now. I really like the film A Room With a View. Lovely Merchant/Ivory film from the 80's. Set in England and Italy. Top actors in it. It's not a fast crazy film, but I could watch it over and over.
If you haven't read the Hunger Games series, I recommend it.
This is a beautiful bag. The fabrics you chose are great too. I would recommend reading BossyPants by Tina Fey for a quick and hilarious read.
Thanks for the giveaway! Merry Christmas!
as for a movie I am looking forward to Midnight in Paris coming to dvd on the 22nd :)
Fabulous work on this bag - I hope I win! :)
asch@comporium.net
Cute bag and love your fabric choices! A good book is Firefly Lane by Kristen Hannah (if I remember correctly).
I am just starting water for elephants (watched the movie before the book-which is not normally my style) so I would recommend those 2 but in the opposite order of how I did it!
beautiful tote! I would suggest Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase..alway fun to watch!
The book i'm reading right now is - If it was easy they'd call the whole damn thing a honeymoon. So funny!
Great bag!
What a wonderful color combo. The bag is gorgeous. As for a movie, an all time Christmas staple in our house is National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. :). Curlyoz19(at)gmail(dot)com
the hunger game series is awesome!
If you haven't read The Help, do. I'm not one to read bestsellers just because they are, but am glad I read this one.
ab3belote at gmail dot com
I love your fabric choices. You did such a good job and have been thinking of getting the pattern. Thanks for the chance!
How about Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay? Or The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba (true story).
Very nice bag! I hope to win it!
Beautiful bag! If you want a guilty pleasure, "How to Knit a Love Song" is a light read perfect for in front of the fire!
Try 'Left Neglected' - I loved it!
c_mcmullan(at)hotmail(dot)com

Great bag! My favorite Christmas-ish movie is Love Actually. More of a love story than holiday movie, but totally centered around Christmas. Happy Holidays!
I loved "The Shack" by Wm. Paul Young. I was so sucked in, I read it in two days! The next book on my list is "Heaven is For Real," and I'm hoping to read it before New Year's.
jmparsons(at)vfemail(dot)net
LOve that bag would love to win....Have no suggestions, I am sorry
Your blog is lovely!
I would recommend "War Horse" by Michael Morpurgo or any of his books actually. They are suposed to be books for older kids/teens but they are truely amazing. Just one warning - you will need a few tissues close by!
This is a great bag with pretty fabrics. I like how you hung it on different things, including a tree.
my favorite book is sundays at tiffany's by james patterson
I like reading the Chronicle of Narnia with hot chocolate by my side this time of year.

What a gorgeous tote! You did an amazing job with it!
By the way, I'm in Canada today! Nice to run into a fellow Canadian.
Can I recommend a TV show instead of a movie/book? I recommend the BBC show Sherlock (which had 3 eps a year or so ago and will come back in January with another 3 eps). It's a moderized Sherlock Holmes and a lot of fun to watch.
(clumsy.chord(at)gmail.com)
Yes.
Thanks for the generous giveaway and a chance to win!
I love queen of babble by meg Cabot.....good book! Thanks for the giveaway!
This bag design is my favourite find of this SMSGD. I would love to win one & yours is one of the yummiest I have seen. Such Me colours. I have just finished reading "The Price of Life" by Nigel Brennan, Nicole Bonney and Kelly Brennan. I am not normally one for true stories but this one was fantastic. I can't recommend it highly enough.
I actually don't like to read books or watch movies. I just like to sew. I do like to read my MIL's old issues of This Old House! cathydevinney(at)gmail(dot)com
Your beautiful bag would look outstanding hanging over my door handle, on display all the time. The choice of fabric is very eye catching.
I would recommend the book, 'cloudstreet' by Time Winton. A great read about Australia back in the 1940's that has warmth, humour and great affection for ordinary people.
Merry Christmas from Down Under...
That bag is beautiful! I have a new little one and would use it as a mommy bag. :) I'm currently reading "Travels in Siberia" and really enjoying it.
I love the orange lining of the bag!
I like to revisit old favorites when I want a truly relaxing read. The Secret Garden or The Hobbit are both excellent choices.
Maybe you can knit. My hands cramp up to much when I knit and crouche so I now use the knigty knitter. It is just as relaxing for me without the pain. Tina M yelowrozen at yahoo dot com
One of the best 2011 movies: Beginners, starring Ewan McGregor. I really recommend it!
thanks!
I totaly love this bag! Those side pockets would be so handy!
I just LOVE the way the orange lining peeps out of your bag. What a generous giveaway! One of my favorite books is the Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. It's smart and funny and a quick read. akmajor (at) gmail (dot) com

Happy holidays!!!
I would love to win this wonderful bag made by you! Oh boy I wish I had a book or movie recommendation for you - my school semester just ended this past Tuesday so I've had my head stuck in books for months. One of my goals for today is a visit to the library to pick up a whole pile of books to enjoy for the next three weeks while I am off. One I will look for is The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom.
Oops! Forgot about the recommendation! Since it is the holiday season, I recommend "The Corrections" by Jonathan Franzen. An intricate little story of family, holidays, and a bit dysfunction.
Great fabric combination on this bag. Nice job! Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
I can't recommend Super 8 enough. If anything ever came close to capturing the same concepts as E.T., it's this movie.
Have a great vacation!
So pretty, I love the fabric!
For some mindless holiday reading, I really enjoy the Hannah Swenson mysteries. Lots of yummy cookie and cupcake recipes included, too!
Lovely lovely bag!
If you've got the time over the holidays, I love watching whole TV series or movie trilogies at a time. Something fun? I love watching Arrested Development from the beginning. Prefer movies? I feel like winter is the best time for re-watching the Lord of the Rings.
betsygerding[at]gmail[dot]com
Love your choice of fabrics for Anna's bag pattern. My fave book from lately is The Host by Stephanie Meyer of Twilight fame. It's such a great story.
Your bag is beautiful! The fabric/color choices are great!
A good family Christmas movie is A Golden Christmas.
Thanks for the chance
Clunsford at gmail dot com
What a great bag! I love it. Crossing my fingers!
Any of the Inspector Gramache mysteries by Louise Penny. They're set in a small village in Quebec, and most of them take place in winter--the season is almost like another character.
Love the colors of this tote!! I would recommend the movie Soul Surfer. It is based on a true story and is a great movie (nothing gory or scary). Thanks for a chance to win! :)
This is absolutely gorgeous!
The Holiday is always a nice movie. :)
mamaisaac09(at)gmail(dot)com
Gorgeous bag! Love the fabric and the pattern, thanks!
As a book sugestion, I like Noah Gordon's books, all the ones i read i enjoyed the reading. Others could be
The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon; Kiran Desai's Hoollabaloo in the Guava Orchard and Jorge Amado's books too :)
Love the tote.
I like to watch Miracle on 34th Street during the Christmas Holiday. I am reading John Grisham's latest book, The Ligitators, it is a very good book.
knittingdancer (at) gmail (dot) com
Great bag! I've been wanting this pattern. I'd recommend Jill Williamson's books. Thank you! mamalusco at ortelco dot net
Cute purse. Julie and Julia. Very cute. Liked it a lot. Enjoy your weekend.

Hello! Once upon a time I lived in Canada...
Love the bag!
Book wise, this story will draw you in: "The Inheritance of Loss" by
Kiran Desai
Beautiful! Thanks for the chance!
I love to watch Love Actually this time of year.
This is sooo pretty ... I want this wrapped under my tree:)
thehappycrochetchic@yahoo.com
This tote is great! I am currently using my purse as a diaper bag also, and this looks like it would serve that purpose well!
I am currently reading The Professor by Charlotte Bronte and am enjoying it quite a bit. CB is a wonderful writer!
Shawna:)
I am also hoping to relax over the break, hopefully that happens! I love the purse by the way!
jessicarwarfield at gmail dot com
What a great bag! You've got to read Wrapped in Rain by Charles Martin. It's one of my favorites!
You're giving this away?! It's beautiful! That orange lining about does me in - I love it! For books, I have a list longer than my arm of recommendations, but a recent one I've enjoyed is Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Wells.
I love the fabrics you've used in the fabric. It worked up amazingly.
hmmm. Movies and books...
I like watching Die Hard 2 at Christmas. :) This year I'm planning on doing a lot of sewing to Torchwood. Though I'm currently hooked on the book And the Shofar Blew so it might wait a little bit.
For a book - check out "Of Marriageable Age". Don't have it right here so don't have the author offhand. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wonderful looking bag!
hwcutie@hotmail.com
What a lovely bag! As for book recommendations...I have been reading Micheal Connelly's mysteries and they are so well written and engaging. If you can start at the beginning, they are serial, though you don't need to read them in order, but it is more enjoyable that way.
I love this bag! If were sitting by the fire, I think I'd read The Help.

I really like this 241 tote. Would love to win it.
I love seeing the move sound of music at christmas.
Gorgeous bag! Thanks for a great giveaway!
If you like mysteries, I've been enjoying Louise Penny. It's a series that takes place in a small village in Quebec. Slightly cozy-ish, but also really well-written.
Beautiful bag!
To read - I loved The Time Travelers Wife.
To watch - Pride and Prejudice BBC version with Colin Firth
Have a lovely holiday.
Thank you for a lovely giveaway! As far as movies, I like more classics, Miracle on 34th Street, It's a wonderful Life, etc. For non holiday "You can't take it with You", again an older movie is great, and my friend just brought over one of Audrey Hepburn's first movies...oh I can't remember the title, but she was a princess who leaves and has a day in the "real" world. Very good. Enjoy your time.
I recently watched Something Borrowed and loved it. It is the perfect chill out movie.

I absolutely love tote bags...especially when they have lots of pockets! As for a good book, I recently read "When She Woke". Takes place a few years in the future where law breakers have their skin color coordinated to the severity of their crime. I really liked it!
