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.
Go to Australia with my best gal pal – we’ve known each other since the first grade!

To visit China with my in-laws, husband and kids. I want my kids to see the village where my in-laws came from and help them realize life can be a lot harder than the suburban life they have now. I think it will also help them understand why mommy and daddy work so hard so they can have a nice home, modern conveniences and a good life.

I have lusted over the Epiphanie bags before! It would be great to have a bag that is capable of carrying my gear and looking great. It always pains me to ruin a cute outfit with my camera bag (besides the fact that it screams “CAMERA IN HERE!”) though I’ve stopped carrying my DLSR for day to day, since it is too heavy for most bags that I use… and not protected well to boot!
There are so many things I’d like to do in life – but one in particular is at the top of the list. It is definitely on my life list to see that my parent’s are properly taken care of as they get older. With the economy/career changes/unemployment, etc. they have both gone through a lot the last several years and will definitely need help and support at some point.
