Priddy Creations - Giveaway!!

ETA - The winner is Linda T with no blog - I've emailed you Linda!!

I have a treat for you today!  A beautiful camera strap has been offered by my friend Amy, of Priddy Creations for one of you!  




I asked Amy to share a little about the how and why she creates --
After my second daughter was born, I decided to stay at home with my girls. I have always been a career driven person and knew that I wouldn't be happy not having something to do. While my family is important, I am a person that needs a creative outlet. So I started scrapbooking and beading. That eventually ended up leading to selling on eBay. I switched gears a few years ago and traded in my beads for fabric and the rest is history!
As for why I love to create....well, that is easy! There is nothing more satisfying than seeing an idea or thought come to fruition. Especially when giving it as a gift or when purchased from a customer. The facial expressions when they open it or the lovely emails gushing over it....That is the reason I keep doing it.
I think that SO many of us can relate to this!  I love to watch my kids snuggle up with their quilts, in fact Owen doesn't sleep without his!  That can be a mixed blessing :) 

I love the camera strap that Amy has offered up!  Now that we have a second small camera, I need to think about making the dslr strap a little cuter, and more comfortable - I use it nearly everyday!

Here's your chance to win one --

Visit Amy's shop and come back to tell me your favorite item.
~ AND ~
Follow Amy's blog and let me know!
Two chances to win :)

A winner will be selected Monday, January 18th - Good luck!!
Amy

    I visited Priddy Creations Etsy shop and her blog. I signed on as a follower and love the Tropical Fish bag in her shop. The orange, yellow and white are just my colors. The camera strap huggies are a wonderful idea. Good thinking!

    Have a great day.

    Who can pick? I love the cases for lenses - why do all the ones you buy in stores have to be black? Hers are gorgeous! And I need this camera strap you are giving away because mine (stock Nike one) is too wide, with sharp edges. It must be made for a man - it is sooo uncomfortable!

    She is awesome! I am IN LOVE with the black and white Damask Camera Bag. :D I looked for a black and white damask camera strap to match but didn't see one. So if I had to choose a favorite camera strap, I would say the black and white floral or the Muted Belle.

    I visited Amy's etsy shop. I love the idea of the memory card bags. I adore how they attach directly to the camera strap. I would probably keep an extra set of batteries in there instead of the card.
    However, my absolute favorite thing is the Pop Garden Photo bag. How fun it would be to have an awesome bag like that out on a shoot!
