Today, July 21st, we are Giving Away... (PRIZES CLAIMED)


Two Lovely Camera Strap Covers with One Add-on Feature from Designs by Jessie

Before I became a mom I was not very good about taking pictures. Like the time I backpacked across Europe with three friends. I thought, “Okay, we will be gone for six weeks visiting ten different European countries, I will splurge and take four rolls of film." It was pre-digital camera days, mind you, and you had to be careful back then about wasting film. When I arrived at the airport with my four rolls of film, my friend Emily informed me that she had brought 17 rolls!! I thought she was a little crazy and she thought the same of me. In the end, I used all four rolls of my film, she used all 17 rolls of her film. To each her own, I say.

The point of this story? Some of us take a lot of pictures, some of us not so many. But it doesn't matter if you a professional photographer, a casual picture taker, or the Paparazzi, you are going to want to win (or buy) yourself a camera strap from Designs by Jessie. Why?

Because they're darling:

They're durable:

They're removable and washable:

They make people happy when they see you wearing one (that means more people will be smiling in your photos):

They make picture taking and camera carrying more comfortable--they are lined with fleece interfacing or you can add-on minky (a material which I believe is heaven-sent):

And finally, they're affordable:
That's right, Designs by Jessie is offering a 20% DISCOUNT to YOU. Use the code "GAT20" upon check-out.

Today Designs by Jessie is giving away two camera straps designed to fit over your SLR or DSLR camera strap. It is 21 inches long and 2 3/4" wide. They will fit most standard camera straps. The two winners will also receive one add-on. What is an add-on, you ask? Let me show you:

You can enter to win a camera strap from Designs by Jessie up to THREE times today. We know that everyone everywhere loves to take pictures. Therefore, this giveaway is open worldwide.

For one entry, leave your first and last name in a comment.
Example: Jane Doe

For a second entry, please visit Designs by Jessie here. Look at all of their darling camera straps then return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and which one matches your personal style (or the style of the friend you would love to give one to.)
Example: Jane Doe: I love the white polka dot one because it's fun and I want to make people smile.

For a third enrty, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and something you did when you were younger that you wouldn't do now.
Example: Jane Doe: Backpack through Europe. I would love to travel through Europe, but living out of bag and in youth hostels with four kiddies just wouldn't work nowadays. When I was nineteen, amazing! Now, too much work (and a little scary after seeing the movie Taken)

The winners of the camera straps from Designs by Jessie will be announced Wednesday, July 22nd. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaways for the day. Thanks and have a great day!

Tiffany Cameron:
Oh dear! where to begin?

Maybe with my hair?
- Won't use koolaide or peroxide to color my hair
- Won't use peanut butter and egg yolks to try and make dredlocks with my hair
- Won't let my friends use a shower cap w/holes in it to try and "highlight" my hair
- Won't let 2 friends AT THE SAME TIME try and cut my hair. (School pictures don't work when you are trying to lean your head to one side to make your haircut look even. You end up looking like you are trying to pose for glamour shots.)

You know? I think I will stop right there. Memories of ice blocks, garbage cans and other "sledding" devices are better left in the past!

Lindsay said...

Lindsay christensen, when I was younger I loved to dress up! I would spend hours on my hair and makeup every day before school (subsiquently being too tired to learn anything) Now, with three kids and a husband, it is TOTALLY impractical to spend more that 45 minutes getting ready... ten minutes after all the primping is through, I am used as a tissue, burpie or dish rag! Who would have imaged!!

In fact, I rode a Greyhound bus for 36 hours one way to go to a concert (stayed at our location for 36 hours, then back on the bus for the 36 hour ride home). That's dedication. Now I can't justify spending the money. And no way would I take my child on a Greyhound bus!
