Eclectic Whatnot Camera Strap Giveaway
Eclectic Whatnot gives me the opportunity to combine two of my loves β photography and sewing. My shop features shabby, chic and just plain fun camera strap covers. All of my products are sewn with the aid of good coffee, streaming episodes of 24 and show tunes. When I’m not sewing, I’m either homeschooling my crew or stalking them with my camera. And sometimes I do both simultaneously.
My family is a modern day Brady Bunch.
When hubby and I met, I was a single mother of one and he was a single father of three. Now, after thirteen years of marriage, weβve added four more children to our number and become convinced of the necessity of caffeine!
I am passionate about my Lord, my husband (aka the French teacher ~ itβs okay if youβre slightly jealous), and my children.
Here are some randomly random things about me . . . .
* I’ve been known to eat chocolate chips straight out of the bag.
* I love the arts.
* I devour good literature.
* I’m a compulsive baker.
* I heart old, B&W movies. Cary Grant, anyone?
* I think my husband is sexy.
* I once tried to roller-blade. It didn’t end well.
* I dearly love to laugh.
* I once got stuck in the of revolving doors at the Waldorf-Astoria in NYC with my husband.
I’m still embarrassed.
* I’ve been blogging since early 2008. It’s like the chocolate to my peanut butter, the Grande to my Caramel Macchiato ~ it just fits and feels right.. . .
Can you tell why I just LOVE reading Ruthanne’s blog?She’s not only insightful, but hilarious, and deliriously talented! Just checkout some of these fabulous camera straps, in her shop!

Um. Hello gorgeous camera strap. I've been entering as many of these as possible just because I LOVE the frilly, vintage-looking camera straps soooo much. Why dont I just buy one?
Because it's the christmas season and all my extra funds are directed toward others π My santa-ninja skills are amazing and fabulous, but unfortunately leave no room for fun things for me.
Would truly love, appreciate, do a dance, use it every day, take photos of it, and force friends to love it as well.
I'd give it a good home! (I'm not even going to be picky. I love the pleated girly ones… cream and some other fun color… heck I'd take any ones in need of some love :))

I sure do like this gal!! Well I thought I would enter anyway but…….I was hoping my husband got the message when I tweeted him about my need for this camera strap cover. I LOVE the Moonlight Serenade. Gorgeous colors!! Thanks!
