I wanted to coincide this giveaway with my new clutches that will be in the store on Monday (not the end of November - woot woot!) but decided you all are worth not having to wait (and maybe that means another giveaway?). And I do have to say this isn’t just a piece from my stash - I hand-stitched this embroidery, thinking of my adoring readers, all 17 of you.
So if you want to be included in the pile, leave a comment with your name and a valid email address (none of this girl@yahoo.com - legit ones, people!) and answer the following question and I’ll pull a name Friday: If you could participate in any reality TV show, which would it be and why?
Sarah says:
I would be on Project Runway because if I made it onto that show it would mean I know how to make amazing clothes quickly; which I don’t at all!

I would be on survivor. Just to see if I could do it.
That bag is sooo pretty!

Very beautiful!
The Simple Life, because Paris and Nicole are hilarious together.

I have been bugging my husband for a few years now to be my partner on The Amazing Race. We make a great team when we travel, and look at all the places we could explore together!

I would be on Deal or No Deal. I love Howie Mandel. I love it when he says, “Ladies Please” and then all the ladies come walking down. And I know, I just know I could walk away with some money.
The suspense of that show just kills me every time I watch it! I already have my 3 people picked out that…the ones that help you “make decisions”. My husband, Joy, and my mom. Last week I started my video to audition for the show…seriously I did. My friends all think I am nuts, but what is life without taking a few risks and just seeing if you get accepted…

I would say Top Chef. Not that I stand a chance of actually winning, but at least I could eat all that yummy food.

Unfortunately The Mole is no more (the cool one with Anderson Cooper, not that cheezy knockoff celebrity version), so I would have to pick Amazing Race. It’s probably the only time in my life that I’d get to visit all of those places and pack that much life experience into a few short months.

oohhh…project runway! i would be the first to go…but, the experience would rock! i also loved that show about interior decorating..but i don’t get bravo and i think it was short-lived….
adorable bag!!!

Whitney says:
OOOOOOOOOooooh I LOVE the clutch, Candace!!! Now onto the question…eh hmm…I would be on The Biggest Loser so that the trainers would kick my butt into shape, and I would have a rockin’ body. Also, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to learn how to control my portions, but some things just taste SO good!

Randi says:
Such beautiful detail Candace!!
I would be on HGTV’s Design Star. I would love to learn all those cool techniques to decorate rooms. I wouldn’t last too long, but it would be a great learning experience.

oh amanda says:
Oh, Candace! How pretty!
And uhm…I could NEVER EVER be on Survivor. I’m too weak. Plus I can’t eat gross stuff. My mom and I tried out for Amazing Race. (How could they NOT choose us?!) So, I’ll say Amazing Race b/c I want to travel to all those amazing places. Hey, maybe we could audition, y’know, our description could be “bloggy friends”!

Cara says:
This is very interesting!…I would have to say that I would love to be on The Biggest Loser. I wish it would be for the vanity of it all, but I’m 25 on BP meds and prone to diabetes in the future. It would be awesome to have the life change so I can be around for my family and have an awesome quality of life while I’m with them. I would also learn a lot of things to pass on to my kids!

Heather H says:
OOh - that purse is beeeautiful!
If I could be on any reality TV show, it would be “So You Think You Can Dance.” This is twofold - I love to dance and would have a blast working my a-double-s off, but it would also require that I was professional dance material, which I’m not, but I wish I was. So I would get two wishes in one - a reality show and kick butt dance talent.

I would love to be on Survivor! I think i would have such a blast.

Elizabeth (formerly devriesthree) says:
I so totally would love that clutch and I am a fathful reader and commenter, so here goes…
I’d want to say Survivor but I’m not American and my kids are too precious to me to leave them for any period of time like that. I’d love to say Last Comic Standing, but I’m not funny… I’d just want to hear everyone else… I think I would have to (final answer) say Amazing Race because I’m good under pressure and that would be a sweet chance to see the world.

Rachel says:
Oh Candance…You do amazing work…Your things are as amazing as Kelly’s pictures…I love the color as well…Its my favorite color of course…You are truely gifted in the clutch department…
Anyway..The question…I would want to be on the biggest loser. I am currently doing WW, but I am not doing very good for the last couple of weeks. Being on that show with the one on one everyday help would keep me motivated…Thanks for asking…

Nik says:
Cute clutch! Pick me!
I think I would want to be on The Amazing Race, even though I don’t think I could be on a team with my husband on there. We’d spend the whole time fighting over who was going to drive and who’s going to read the map. I’d have to do it with a girlfriend.

deb says:
hmm, i think this may be the first time i have commented. but i have been reading for quite a while now. i would say amazing race.

Amanda says:
I would so love to do the Amazing Race with my husband if they accepted Canadians! I loved that show. I think we’d do good, there’d likely be no way we’d win but I think we could get far enough at least.
I have wrist issues and my husband can’t run for too many extended periods of time because of his knee. So that’s likely what would halt us.

Kim says:
Love the clutch, it is really cute!
I would be on the Biggest Loser. I really would love to be, it’s my favorite show but Madison started crying hysterically when I said I wanted to be on it so I guess I can’t do that, at least not until she’s older. But wow, talk about motivation and kicking it into high gear! What a great show!

Candace says:
Hey Candace—So I’ve been reading your blog for a while–however this is my first time to comment. I’m a friend of Kelly’s from college and started reading your blog cause your name is Candace (spelled the right way I might add!) and your husbands name is Tim and so is mine. I thought that was funny! Anyway–I guess I’m “delurking” as Kelly calls it—not to win your adorable clutch–although that’d be okay by me! But I’ve been meaning to comment for some time–and well–today was the day! And as for the question–I guess it would have to be The Amazing Race–although I’d have to do it with someone other than my husband–cause we’d kill each other!

wicked clutch! i love it! I would want to be part of BigBrother! all you do is louge around all day, and get to do cool challenges!

so, so, cute. I love that little bird. I would like to be on Trading Spaces. (Is that still on?) But I would like to be on a reunion show with Paige because she rocks and the show just hasn’t been the same without her.

Christie says:
That bag is amazing!
I’d definitely try out for Top Chef, but I agree with everyone else - that means I’d have to know how to be good at the show I’m going for, which I am not, but I do love food!

I would like to be on one of the PBS shows where the people have to live for an extended time in a time period from the past-Colonial House or Frontier House. My husband and I actually were almost chosen to be on Colonial House, but we didn’t quite make it. It just sounds so interesting to me. I always wanted to live in a different time when I was growing up and I think that it would fulfill that fantasy for me.
Lovely clutch. You are very talented!

bee says:
That is bee-you-tee-full!
I would totally want to be on the RockStar INXS/Supernova… whatever they do next (if they do one at all!) Of course, I cannot sing at all. But I could totally rock the glitter eyeshadow!
If you would have asked me 10 years ago, I would have said The Bachelor!

Peakmore Academy says:
oh my!!! what a simply gorgeous clutch. the red is so striking and really allows the little bird to pop! gorgeous.
okay… so i’d LOVE to be on THE AMAZING RACE. I’d love to be on that show for the opportunity to TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD. The problem would be whether to run the race with my husband or my mom. My husband is VERY physically strong and we have a great time together, but he’s seen many parts of the world via the military. Whereas my mom, though older, is also a spunky woman with lots of abilities and a quick mind who has been only a limited number of places in the US (like me) and I’d love to give her that opportunity as well. So it would be a toss up for sure.
Anyway, thanks for the contest, my fingers are crossed to win (makes typing slower, but I’m managing. LOL)

Candace! What a pretty clutch, almost to pretty to be used, and that embroidery is amazing. I love red! Okay, as for reality t.v., since NO ONE in my family (not even my hubby) would agree to do the Amazing Race with me..something about overly competitive…:) I would be on ANTM. This means that I would be much taller and much skinnier! Amazing work on that clutch, Can!

Emily says:
I’ve been reading for a long time, right after Conner was born (who is so cute, but I know you already know that).
I would totally be on Amazing Race, but I, too, am competitive so I don’t know if anyone would compete with me. Holli, maybe we could go on together!

Kate says:
Man! Lots of people came out of the woodwork for this give away!! So throw my name into the pot too, although with this many people, my odds aren’t lookin’ so hot… That clutch looks stellar! Nice and fallish.
I think that if I were to do a reality TV show, it would be a toss up between Amazing Race (which I think would be fun and doable), and Top Chef (which is completely unrealistic for my skill level, but would be fun to work with professional grade equipment and gourmet ingredients).
