A Giveway & a Long Overdue Shout out to Ginnie J

Last fall I was reading nobiggie.net and really liked the pictures that Ginnie J took of Kami's family. She is very talented. There was a contest to win a free photo shoot and so I entered, thinking man it would be great to get our annual family pictures for free. And then I won. We took the pictures on a freezing cold day in late November. I liked Ginnie right off. She is adorable - so very funny. In fact you should totally check out her non photography blog too (there's a link on the photography blog at the top). She has a sense of humor that kills me! Anyway, I got the pictures back in December and hurried and sent out Christmas cards and printed some to hang in my house. They really are great. And then I was really lame. I never even posted a shout out to her. Sorry Ginnie! We love, love, love the pictures and think you are amazing! Thanks for making us look good!
Because I so loved winning something, I thought I'd pass the favor along to someone else. Of course it won't be an awesome photo shoot - but I hope it will be fun anyway. So here's the deal.
  • I will post some of her pictures on here. You leave a comment of which you like the best and you are entered in the drawing for the giveaway.
  • If you go to her website ginniejphotography.com and check out her cool pictures and leave her a comment and then leave me another saying you did that, you'll get a second entry.
  • And just for fun if you want a third entry, go to nobiggie.net and leave a comment and then come back and comment again here. After all, I would never have won if I didn't read Kami's awesome blog!

Okay - now I am sure you are wondering what you can win. Last night as I shoved another bag into this in my pantry, I remembered that my cute sister in law Laura had made a sweet little bag holder a while back that I liked. So I skimmed a bunch of how-to blogs and pulled out some fabric that I had and made this: Much cuter than the Old Navy bag right? While I was at it, I made a second one for the giveaway. Only it is even cuter with thick ric rac instead of the red ribbon. Also included in the giveaway: This cute paper star lantern in red, a frame and a Phase 10 Dice game. Contest ends Monday January 25th at midnight. Okay, good luck!!

I love the photo with the kids looking through the railing on the bridge...too cute! I checked out both the other sites and left comments. I might need to become regular readers of theirs as well! So I think that's 3 entries for me...I really need that bag holder before the plastic bags under my kitchen sink take over my life!
