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.

One of the main points on my life list is travel — there’s an impressive sub-list of places, some I have gotten to and been able to cross off, others are tempting me with the possibilities…
crossed off items include travel Route 66 from Chicago to LA (did that for my honeymoon in 2006) and travel to India (did that in conjunction with travel to SE Asia over the course of 10 months in 2007)…
next up is travel to Mexico with my husband and son… the hubs and I love Mexican food like no other and yet he has never been (I vacationed there as a youngling)… so before I head back to work after an extended mat leave, we are heading to the Yucatan where we are renting a car for two weeks and exploring the region… we leave Tuesday 🙂
