I'm Famous! {a giveaway} CLOSED

A big shout out to Marcy {who I met at Project:Craft!} and became my 100th follower! You are going to thank her in a minute too. 

Ok.   I'm not famous.  Not really.  At all.  But you guys are making me feel so great lately! Seriously. 
Especially when I get to meet you in real life.
 
First let me apologize for being so absent lately.  Then I'll get to the good part.  I have been cleaning out.  Rearranging.  Re-evaluating.  I've even sat down to write out some meaningful type post about my feelings lately.  I'm not much of a writer though.  I decided its best to stick with whats easy to share for now.  So this space has taken a back seat.  Mostly because I don't have much in the way of craftiness to share.  Its hard to create something when you can't even see the craft room floor!  But I'm feeling good.  Slowly getting my mojo back.  Plus the sun is shining today.  It makes me happy! 

So here's the fun part!  I've been saving this giveaway for when I hit 100 followers.  And because I'm feeling so loved by all the fabulous people here in the Tri Cities this one is for you!  {Unless of course you are willing to come visit  me for the prize, and its totally worth it.  But travel expenses aren't included} ;)

 
Darin wants to give one of you lucky peeps a photo session! For free! That is a $299 prize so whoever wins is super lucky! Isn't fall an awesome time to get your family photos done? Or are you feeling like pampering yourself and having your own beauty shoot done?!  {Its ok to do something for yourself every once in awhile!}  Its senior season too, so whatever you are needing/or wanting thats what you'll get! {excludes weddings}

Here is the nitty gritty.  
+You need to leave me a comment telling me about your favorite photo you have seen lately.  
+You will definitely get bonus points if you are a follower or become one.  So leave me a comment about that too. 
+I'll even throw in a extra chance if you use your favorite form of social media to spread the word.  I know you are thinking it just gets more people to enter which lessens your chance.  But Lyssa won last time because she did. Just sayin.  
+You HAVE to comment though.  Because a winner will be drawn FROM THE COMMENTS SECTION on Friday October 1st. 

See I told you that you would thank Marcy too.  ;)

  1. Ooh, I'd love to win a photo shoot with Darin! That would be awesome, we are in desperate need of a current family picture and not just a snap shot. My favorite photos I've seen lately would have to be the ones I just took of the twins that are on my blog. I had to take about 50 to get a few good ones. :)

    Some awesome pics i've seen lately are from Stacie Hawley. She's a friend of mine who lives in KY now. Very talented.
    But seriously it was so fun to play on Saturday night! We should do craft nights more often, seriously.

  16. I have been a silent admirer Jenn, but now I have become a follower, so let the magic happen. I love the magic Darin creates in his photo shoots. I loved the football one, mostly because that is what my house is all about right now, but the nighttime shot was beautiful. Good luck in getting back into your crafty mood! You can do it!

  37. Hey Jenn! It's Shannon's sister Neely! I'm trying to become a follower of your blog but I've never done it before so I'm not sure I'm doing it right, but I saw your link on Darin's page and I think your stuff, style and inspiration are absolutely amazing. I already shared the link on my fb and know many who would love to "follow" if that's what the in thing to do is. I love all of your pictures and especially those of little Ivy, but my favorite picture as of late has to be my sis with the former president, what a trip! Take care and I'm looking forward to "following" you!
