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.

My 3 year old daughter is named Iona after my wonderful and amazing grandmother, and also after a tiny but incredibly beautiful island off the west coast of Scotland that I visited in college.
One day between 10-20 or so years from now I plan on taking her there to visit her namesake. I hope she loves it as much as I do, and finally appreciates having a name no one’s ever heard of!

Wonderful clever Maggie, here’s a couple from my list that I wanted to share:
#22 – Buy an Instax camera and take cool instant photos. (I swear I’m not even making that up – so to win would be very serendipitous indeed.)
#85 – To dance en pointe (added after seeing ‘La Danse’ documentary on the Paris opera ballet)
Finally, and happily for me, #20 – Travel to Thailand. Happily because we leave for Phuket on SUNDAY! (While we’re at it I suspect I’ll be able to knock #66 off the list too – go for an elephant ride)
