MomShots

Well, first let me say Happy Mother’s Day! It’s a beautiful day here in Utah with a clear blue sky and sweet chirping birds. I even got to sleep in a little bit. Yay! I love days like this. My husband is upstairs with my boys making brunch right now and I am looking at the cute little bouquet with three gerber daisies my boys so cheerfully brought me a few minutes ago.

So without ado let’s get on with the winning!!! Are you as excited as I am to know who won? I wish I could give one to each of you. I really do. I love camera strap covers. I really like the one I made (and one day will put up a tutorial for anyone who wants to make one the way I made mine). I love the comfort and visual versatility that camera strap covers offer. I also really love the ones that Jessie has at her Etsy site. She has some beautiful fabrics and how can you go wrong with a lens cap pocket?!? That feature is brilliant!!!

Now to the winning!

Drum roll please….
While the drum is rolling you can hear the announcer in a small fast voice saying, “Winner is randomly chosen through the use of Random.org.”

The winner of the camera strap cover with the ever so soft minky fabric upgrade is…

#67

The winner of the much coveted camera strap cover with the lens cap pocket is…

#13

Congratulations to both of you!

Everyone else, thanks so much for playing! MomShots will be hosting another giveaway in a few weeks so stay tuned and keep your finger on the shutter release button.

Happy Mother’s Day to you all!!!

And for the obligatory MomShot here is one of my oldest and youngest holding hands at the Torrey Pines Beach, my favorite beach in San Diego. If we were within driving distance of that location I would be headed there right now!

to enter the camera strap slip cover giveaway hosted by Designs by Jessie. If you haven’t entered yet be sure to head over to the original post and leave a comment!

Don’t forget that if you purchase two slipcovers from her she’ll throw in a lens cap pocket upgrade for free. Tell her you came from MomShots in the comment on your purchase. I should add that if you are thinking about purchasing one from her but are on the fence, her prices are the most competitive prices that I have seen. She has great fabric designs and she has the unique feature of a lens cap pocket available.

And remember, it’s OK to buy yourself a mother’s day present! You deserve it!!!

Again, not my giveaway, but over at Giveawayaday you can enter to win one of these cute camera straps. She makes them for SLR cameras and for point and shoot cameras and uses a wide variety of really cute fabrics. Go check out her Etsy site and then go back and leave a comment with your favorite pattern. Easy peasy. Maybe you’ll be the winner!

Shealyn Camera Strap Covers

You know how I L-O-V-E these things.  I do seriously.  Isn’t this like the third time that I’ve talked about them?  I have decided that they are like earring or other pretty jewelry - you can never have too many.  

I actually took off the camera strap cover that I made and it is sitting in my desk drawer.  I took it off because my husband needed to use the camera for a day of walking in downtown Salt Lake, taking architectural photos.  It was a bit “girly” and so I took it off so he could continue being “manly”.  He didn’t ask me to; he wouldn’t.  But I know that man and knew he’d rather just have boring old Nikon strap showing. 

That’s what happens when you are sharing a camera.  One day when I have my very own camera I will put girly-girl camera straps on it to my hearts content.  One day…  *sigh*  Oh!  But until then, I am just so happy to have a camera to use, I couldn’t be more thankful.  I will also continue to put camera strap covers on the camera.

Anyway…  this morning I was blog hopping.  I get stuck in these blog hopping moments going from one cute blog to another.  Getting enamored by all the cute projects the people are making.  I found this site and saw the giveaway for a cute camera strap cover.  I can’t pass that up!  You know how I L-O-V-E them (seriously, I wrote that twice in the same post - it must be true love)!!!  The giveaway ends today so jump on over there and enter. It would be so cool if a Momshots reader won!

In my perusing of blogs photographic, I found this cool site.  First off, I love her name - My Funky Camera.  I think it’s a great name with lots of personality.  She makes lens cozies and camera straps out of bright, colorful fabric.  I love them!!!  I’m putting a lens cozy and a new camera strap on my wish list.  

In case you didn’t know this about me…  I LOVE handmade items.  I am also attracted to bright shiny objects.  Now bright, shiny, handmade objects are even better.  It’s a match made in heaven! 

I am in the market for a new lens - a 50mm.  I need a lens that is more suited to portraits instead of product photography.  When I get my new lens, I’m going to *need* a lens cozy for my old lens.  It may be a necessity…
