When we were pulling together gifts for the Mighty Summit, we set a few aside to give away. There will be Summit giveaways on Mighty Girl all this week, but this first one is a doozy. Here’s what’s up for grabs today:
I bought a pair of these perfect ultimate travel shoes a while back, and they’re one of my new favorite things. Tieks fold in half so you can stuff them in your purse, but the quality is amazing. They come in all sorts of candy colors and metallics — plus they pack flat and slip off easily when you’re heading through airport security. The winner gets to choose any pair for $135 and under. I recommend orange.
Photojojo’s Tokyo Dreamer Strap
I can’t believe how long it took me to replace my ugly, logoed camera strap. Photojojo’s Tokyo Dreamer strap really dresses up your camera, and even has a little pocket for extra memory cards or a lens cloth.
Lola Epiphanie Camera Bag by Maile Wilson
Maile was an attendee at this year’s Summit, and she brought along her bright Epiphanie camera bags. I use mine as my everyday purse and have finally stopped busting expensive lenses and gadgets by wrapping them in hand towels and shoving them into an un-padded purse. Now I can have my SLR, my flip, and my phone(s) with me without anything banging together and cracking or getting scratched by my keys.
And that’s it for today. Pretty good, huh? To enter to win, please leave a comment about something on your Life List.
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 next Tuesday.

The cooler weather has inspired me to focus on one of the items on my list – to learn how to knit! I was given a very basic lesson last year, and youtube and google have been helping me with the rest.
This weekend I’m also attempting another item – to bake (cook?) a souffle!

Take my son to Disney world. I think we are on the right road here, and may pull it off in Feb. My husband was in a rollover this Feb, and our lives rolled over with the truck. Maybe a little time away from here, would be good medicine for our souls. I know my little guy would be jumping for joy if we get to.
