A little while ago it dawned on me that I, in over three years, I've never had a giveaway on this blog! Sure, there were a few sponsored ones but nothing personal.
I just recently noticed that this blog crossed 200 members via google friend connect! What's better time to hold it than now?! So this is just a thank you giveaway. I LOVE this ride that is blogging, & thank you for engaging with me by visiting/commenting/tweeting/everything else & just making it more awesome.
I kept wracking my brains about what to give away. I wanted something that somehow related to the topics I cover on this blog, gender neutral (so anyone can enter!) & easy to ship world wide.
Finally I found something that I think is perfect- I bought myself this super cute Retro mini eco-journal set, illustrated by the very talented Julia Rothman (You can buy it here- USA
| India) earlier this year & since I loved it I just ordered another for this giveaway.
It's eco-friendly & completely adorable. There are four eco journals in the set- the first one is especially special, to me. It has old Kodak brownies, Polaroid land cameras, Polaroid 1000s, rangefinders, film canisters & film strips. I'm using mine to note down details of films I use. The other three have old rotary phones ☏, gaming consoles / controllers & boomboxes! (I've photographed my set, so the winner will get a brand new, unopened set!)
Update: I am so thrilled to see all these entries! In final drawing, if there are more than 180 entries, I will order another set & pick a second winner!

Comment on this post! It can be about just about anything- what you think about my blog, how you found it, how your day is going, anything.

So you can have a total of six entries. Feel free to do as few or many as you like, just tell me what you did in the comments. (You do not have to leave separate comments for each entry). Last date for entries is 5th July & I will announce the entries maybe a couple of days later.
Winner
Thank you for the great response to this giveaway! The response to this giveaway has encouraged me to plan giveaways more regularly. There were 176 entries (just 4 more & I would have been giving away another). I will probably use Rafflecopter next time onwards.

ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic giveaway... and congratulations on 200 followers lovely xo
ReplyDeleteomg I want to have these
ReplyDeleteThe journals are so cute! I love them! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful journal, and what makes it even prettier is my love for cameras. I came across your blog when I met you during an indiblogger meet, that was held at Hotel Sea Princess, after which I followed you on twitter, and subsequently your blog. What I like about your blog is the fact that your age is never reflected in the way you write, a quality that I find associated with myself, generally. And I love photography, and I'm on my way to be a Lomo owner, I like the fact that I share the film camera passion with you.
