So! The gift bags for the Federated Media cocktail party in New York were kind of jaw dropping thanks to a couple of good friends. Maile from Epiphanie Bags, the woman who did our family photoshoot, offered to give us a bunch of her camera bags:
Then our friends downstairs at Photojojo said they could get us some Fuji Instax Minis and film:
Are these gift bags ludicrous? Yes they are. Do you want one?
Leave a comment telling us something on your life list by Monday, August 30 at noon PST. Your comment enters you for a chance to win the Lola Epiphanie camerabag and Photojojo’s Fuji Instax Mini 25 Instant Camera. I hope you win, because I like you very much. Thanks for reading.
Now for the fine print: Please only leave one comment, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post on Monday.

I had two things that were very important to me in life…
1) have children and be a great mother to them. now I have two boys and LOVE them so much!
2) save money for them to go to college. I want them to learn the value of money, so my personal philosophy is to have them pay for half and I’ll pay for half. If they get a full scholarship, then I’ll save my half of tuition money to give them as a down payment on a house or as starter money for building a house. I’ve had to work for everything I’ve ever had and I know how hard it is to work full time and take difficult classes. I don’t want that for my children.

On my life list is learning a lot of how to’s: how to cook a decent meal, how to sew a fashionable coat (actually, being able to sew the hem of my pants would be wonderful), how to take photos like NatGeo does, how not to look such a wannabe at everything – even though I want to excel at everything. With this bag and this camera, I know I’ll make a hell of a good start.
