a blog-versary giveaway

*****COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED - thank you for entering, I'll post the winner's name friday morning*****

jan. 2nd marked the start of my third year blogging. I kind of can't believe I've stuck with it & I really can't believe so many nice people come here to visit!

so, in honor of this occasion I'd like to giveaway this camera bag:


well, it's not technically a camera bag so much as a tote bag with my photo of a camera transferred onto it...you can put anything you'd like inside :)

to enter just leave a comment here before this thurs. {the 28th} at 6pm CST - then I'll announce the winner on friday.

p.s. if you really want a tote but don't win, or if you'd like a different doe-c-doe photo on a tote I've added a listing for custom totes in the shop!

    I have been a lurker for a few months. I am also a die-hard thrift store shopper. Because of your blog the way I look at merchandise has changed! Shopping is more fun.

    That is so nice of you! Very glad you have stuck with the blog; it's one of my most favorites. When my friends and I are out thrifting, we'll often say, "oh, that's so doe-c-doe!"

    I was in Target the other day and noticed they now have a lot of the old Fisher-Price toys from when I was a kid...remember the phone? And there was that wind up TV screen thingy...if they had had the camera I would have bought it, even though it's new and not really vintage.
