Giveaway winner!!

Happy Monday!

First a massive thank you to Holgarama for being willing to take a chance with my blog and for contributing to my Holga celebration! I personally think that this giveaway has been one of the most exciting things to happen on my blog and the response was mindblowing!!

341 comments = 419 in total entries

Mindblowing right? I wish I could say that you all won something but there can only be one winner and the winner of the cute yellow orange holga 135bc is....

ButterCup Caren from Buttercupped!
Please could you email me your details!

If you didn't win, don't feel too disheartened - the good news is that Caren is also holding a giveaway of a polaroid camera - so check that out!

Thank you again to everyone who entered - I'm hoping that such a huge turn out will encourage others to take a chance on a giveaway with my blog as I love holding them and the more there is to celebrate the better!!

Also a massive thank you to everyone who commented on Friday's post, hehe, it was so exciting that I completely forgot to post my Friday links - I'll just have to double them up this week...

I have been featured!

Me and my photos, in an actual magazine...
How exciting is that?

A little while ago, the lovely Megan from Studio MME (you all must know I love her by now) emailed me and asked me to be featured in her 'Old Shutters' article about new generations using older cameras in Styl Magazine.

Of course I said yes and here I am!

As well as including some amazing artists within the magazine, Megan's article also includes work from Megan Rhodes and Kathleen Frank - two amazing photographers with gorgeous etsy shops, who I feel so honoured to be featured with!

Thanks again to the amazing Megan for thinking of me to be including, I'm still amazed that people love my photos as much as I do...

p.s. Don't forget, all the photos featured above are still in my shop!

A few things...

It seems like I'm always catching up with everything at the moment but here are a few things I've been meaning to share for a while.

It looks rather lovely if I do say so myself - its now broken down alphabetically so its a bit easier to look at and it gave me an excuse to play with Katrina's tape some more...

~ I joined Kristin and Megan's network at BonBon Rose Girls and became a Rosebud ~
I love these girls - their dedication to blogging and the community is amazing so how could I not?

I love Katrina's photography and her new Pictures and Prints shop is lovely!
(in fact I borrowed a photo from there for this post, isn't it pretty?)

~ I've joined Susannah's August Break ~
What with moving, family visiting, sorting out the photoswap, fun trips with friends and catching up with all your blog comments (I'm so behind sorry!) during August, I decided to take a tiny (teeny tiny) step back blogging wise and I'm going to enjoy blogging with a photo or two a day for a month - it should be fun to share the chaos with you... There's no way I could stop blogging, I don't want to, but sometimes life gets hectic and this seems like a happy and fun compromise... (and I'll prob end up writing things anyway...)

Check out all the participants so far here!

~ A massive hello and welcome to my newest followers! ~
Over 440 seems like such a massive number right? I'm slightly overwhelmed... but excited you're here! If you are new here and haven't left a comment before, please say hi - I love seeing comments and checking out everyone's blogs :)

Happy Thursday!
