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.

I want to go somewhere, anywhere, with my husband. We have been married 7 years, and the entire marriage, his elderly mother has lived with us. She has Alzheimer’s, and, due to a fall, has not been able to walk since. My husband works, and I stay at home and give her constant care. Our entire marriage, we have never spent one night alone, or away from home. To help with the isolation,my husband, because of my love of photography, bought me a nice DSLR camera. My life list would consist of finally going someplace with my husband and taking lovely photos to remember it by.

I want to learn to use (and use) a DSLR. When we were gearing up for our new baby, I got talked into buying a non-SLR. I like it and have taken some great pictures of our daughter, but I suspect I’d have better “action shots” of our babe if I could adjust it more. (She wiggles a lot. She’s three months old. I expect she will only move around more, rather than less, as she grows older.)

I was lucky enough to check something off my life list today… to see a no hitter. It’s a life list item that is tough to achieve because you can’t predict it– you just have to go to a whole lot of games and hope for the best.
After going to 15 Phillies games this season, I got to see Roy Halladay pitch in person for the first time today and he pitched the second no hitter in MLB post season history. It was incredible!
