The Delights of Anticipation

Oooo, oooooo!!!

I am taking a break from the world of illness I find myself in these days to tell you about a little giveaway going on that I would seriously give a body part to win.  At the risk of encouraging more competition I thought that you should know;) 

Epiphanie Bags are a photographer's (or aspiring photographer's) dream come true.  These bags are so pretty I want to carry it everyday.  The moment I saw them I wanted one and last week I got to push buy on the Lola bag!  Not only is this bag gorgeous and functional but i just read this morning that ...wait for it......PW Ree has one too!!!  Yup.  I'm that cool.  This bag was also featured in Popular Photography Magazine.  I know, I know. :)  I can not wait for it to get here.  I have big plans for me, my camera, my girl and a couple of old chairs this spring and summer and this bag will be just perfect for this!

Back to the giveaway.  They are giving away your choice of a new Canon 5D MarkII or $2500 gift certificate to Southwest Airlines!  I don't even know which one I would pick.  I want the MarkII so bad I can't think straight.  It is what I have been lusting after as my next camera and it would come to me a lot quicker than I can buy it myself but the gift certificate would be perfect for Paris this year.  Decisions, decisions.  I need to win 1st right?!

If you are in need of a new camera bag head over and take a look.  Enter the contest too if you want or not I mean you really don't need to....or want to right?  Just saying;)

I Heart Faces Book

Yesterday morning I received the most delightful email.  A little bit ago I told you all about a photography contest that I had entered on a whim.  Much to my surprise my photo was one of the ones chosen to be a part of I Heart Faces new photo book.  It has been a long wait but the book is finally done! 

I am so thrilled to have been able to be apart of this.  To have one of my photos published is a huge thrill.  You can preview the book hereat Blurb.  My pic is on the top left of page 60. 

I can't wait to get my copy!

*Le Sigh*.....Big Time

 

I gotta tell you, I really don't have anything to say right now.  I just saw these shoes and had to share.  There are really no words for what I am feeling right now.  I saw these lovelies and literally leaped out of my seat.  No joke.  If it wouldn't have scared the kids I would have screamed.  These shoes are the most magical, perfect things I have seen in a while and if they do not find their way onto my feet this summer I just might very well die.  Well, perhaps that's a bit dramatic, but I would be very, very sad.  I almost hesitate to give you the link for fear that you will all buy up my pretty wedges and leave none for me, but alas, they are already sold out.  No worries, they will be back in stock at some point;)  So here.  Enjoy!

What!!! Me on Forbes.com!!

So, a little while back the author of the fabulous book Mommy Millionaire, whose forum I participate in here, asked me if I would write an article for the Mommy Millionaire online magazine about the CPSIA drama.  Now, I'm no writer but I said okay.  So I wrote up a little something and sent it in.  Fast forward to this morning, I hop on the forum for some chat and what do I see?  A post about how my little article was picked up by a website called Overlawyered.com and Forbes.com!  What!!!  Can you believe it?!  You can find them here and here.  I am in shock.  Who knew?!  If I'm on some kind of winning streak I better take full advantage;) I need to get working!

I'm In Love With The UPS Guy

Sorry honey but it's true.  The UPS guy just came with my new camera!  Aaahhh!!!!  You will just have to imagine the high pitched squeals and jumping for joy that are happening here.  I can't wait to play.  You better believe I will be reading my instruction booklet from front to back at Thing 2's swim class tonight!  Okay, I'm off to jump some more and look at all of my goodies.  More to come......
