A Contest Winner, and ImAgInE the Possibilities...

I know I've mentioned no fewer than a million times how I am not under any circumstances, including sure death, allowed to touch my husband's camera. 
This is hard sometimes. I look around at other lovely ladies blogs, and see all these beautiful pictures of their children, and want to try myself. Let's be honest. My little  2 1/2 year old canon point is not going to cut it. I imagine grabbing my husband's camera and -boom- instantly becoming an amazing photographer. No need for practice for me, just throw the camera in my  hands and away  I'll go. This whole Do Not Touch My Camera thing really ties my hands. Does he realize that he may have an artist here, itching to get out?!? 
So imagine what ran through my head when I woke up this morning and saw this in the entryway. 

Well, well, well... Hubby outside? Check. Budding photographer ready to go? Check. I advanced toward the camera. I was ready to go when suddenly, Asher, who was to be my subject, runs in front of the camera. "You can't touch dat momma, dat's daddy's camera." 
 Are you serious? My plan is being foiled by a 2 1/2  year old?! I advance a step further. 
"NO MOMMA! Don't touch, dat not your camera!!"
My worst nightmare. My husband has trained my children to watch my moves. Honestly. Why did he leave it there if I can't touch it? Is this some type of cruel joke? 
Rest assured, the opportunity will again arise. 
Moving on to the WINNER OF THE GIVEAWAY!!! 
I used the random integer thing, (which I love, could play on that thing all day)
 and the winner is #20! Who is Stephanie from Why Am I Always So Tired! 
Congrats Stephanie, contact me and I will get the prizes rolling your way! 

Have a great afternoon everyone. I have a post I am working on for later, about the Major News our family received last night. It is just taking me awhile to process how I feel and stuff. I really want to write about it, I am just not sure how to put what I feel into words right now.

Friday Freebie!

(Please pretend you see Heidi's lovely blog tag here. It will not paste into my html code, so work with me here.) 

I am super excited to be hosting a FRIDAY FREEBIE from Heidi at Sacred and Profane! 
This week? Heidi and I are supporting Cora's Playground, in honor of a beautiful baby girl who died of cancer. I have purchased 2 items from the Etsy shop, where the proceeds go to build a playground named in her honor. You? You get to have the beautiful items. Win/Win! 
So, what are the items? 
I love how funky/cool this bracelet is. It is perfect for spring outfits! 

This pin would look amazing pinned on a bag or sweater. 

How do you enter? Easy. Comment. 
Gain an extra entry by tweeting about it and then telling me. The contest ends at 12 p.m. on Saturday, so get busy! 
p.s. Make sure that you check out what other items they are selling in Cora's honor on Etsy. Even if you don't win, you'll surely find something great to get. I've got my eye on this. I would love to clip it to my handbag.
