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.

The life list item I’m scared to own up to…but will out for the sake of Mighty Girl!
“Write a young adult novel with a heroine who takes up civil engineering without giving up her penchant for lip gloss, her VW convertible, and cute boys.” Think Nancy Drew, without crime solving and with more math.

Life list: to visit my sister-in-law and her husband in Prague (and then go with them to Turkey and Greece [that part wasn’t on the list, but it was a nice bonus]), all of which I DID, and during which my camera died spectacularly, and in flames. So, how handy this is.

I’ve always had this vision of me and my husband strolling through Paris in Winter, but I never got married, and never had a “Strolling Through Paris” type of boyfriend. So about six months ago I decided to get brave and go by myself! I leave Novmeber 2 – got my plane ticket and booked my hotel, now all I need is a camera and a red bag to compliment my beret (hint hint). They wear berets in Paris, right?
