Sponsor Giveaways: Susannah Conway, The Vintage Pearl, & Clickin Moms
This weekend I would like to first introduce you to Susannah Conway. She is a photographer, writer and workshop leader who lives in south-west England. Her beautiful and inspiring blog can be found here.
Susannah is giving away two things this weekend:
( 1 ) One person will receive an 8x8 inch fine art photograph of winner's choice from Susannah's Etsy store. They will also receive a set of Cupcake postcards.
( 2 ) One person will receive a spot in her late summer Unravelling: Ways of Seeing Myself online workshop. According to Susannah:
Check out the complete course outline here. The late summer session starts Monday July 13th and runs for 8 weeks. A fall session will also begin in late September. Testimonials of other's experiences in this workshop are located here.These definitely won’t be self-portraits in the traditional sense – we’ll be using the camera as a tool to unlock how we see not only ourselves but also the world we live in, including the immediate surrounds of our homes, places of work and our friends and family.
The Vintage Pearl is a wonderful custom jewelry shop that offers a variety of pieces suitable for your own words, names, and messages.
One person will receive a custom piece of jewelry of their choice from The Vintage Pearl.
Visit The Vintage Pearl Blog here.
Our third giveaway this weekend comes from Clickin Moms who recently did a redesign of their website for a lovely new look.
One person will receive a one-year membership to Clickin Moms.

such fun giveaways, as always. My favorite pictures recently were some candid shots I took of my sister laughing. She's having a tough time right now, so I'm glad I could capture a few moments of joy!

My current fav pic was not taken by me. My DS had some photos taken for graduation and we had the photographer come to our farm and get pics in the old wooden barn with all quirky stuff. No cobwebs were cleaned out or anything rearranged. They are gorgeous! And he was so comfy being surrounded by every day life. My little guy is all grown up and looks amazing! :)

my fav shot is one of my daughter goofing around with some hats at the Mall. She has on a soft pink sweater and is mugging with a zebra print hat!

My favorite photo right now is one that I took of our little boy, the sun is shining behind him, making him look almost angelic. It's fantastic!

I was just playing around with the camera and was stunned by the perfect reflection of my bedroom window in my pupil, and the whole idea of the window within (eyes are a window to the soul)

beautiful giveaways! thanks for hosting these on your blog...
my most favorite recent photo was one I snapped of my pink peonies... so soft, delicate and deliciously lovely. I love photographing flowers.

My current fave photo is of my two kiddos splaying outside in the sprinkler. I got a close up portrait of them all wet and all smiles. Got to love summer!

Two recent favorites--my niece feeding my mom a cheerio. It captures my niece's playful spirit and a really genuine interaction between grandmother and granddaughter.
And the other is of my husband and his group of guy friends. We had a joint birthday party for my husband and brother-in-law, and all the guys went out and smoked cigars in our back yard. So I grabbed a group shot of the guys with their cigars and beers around the grill. It was somewhat staged, but they were all joking as I shot some photos, so they've got great expressions.

My favorite photo recently (if I have to pick just one:) is a photo of my son. He is 15 and gets tired of me always taking pictures of him and we were on vacation when I snapped a shot of him trying to get away. It is blurry in the background and he is smiling and it just makes me happy.

My favorite recent photo is of my son graduating from high school, grinning ear to ear, while hugging me saying, "I love you, Mommy!" How cute is that?
Love your giveaways!

I can't choose... first and most recent is my younger daughter all in pink, surrounded by her dolls and pretending to take a pic of me with a toy Barbie camera. It made me realise how much I am always taking photos, kids are such mimics... here is a link... http://snappyfriends.blogspot.com/2009/05/snappy-friends-next-generation.html
The next is a long time fav of mine a series I took after a huge storm had been through. They are of the sunset over the lake.... http://quiltparadise.blogspot.com/2008/02/after-storm.html

I took some pictures of my two year-old son and his little buddy as they played at the sprinkler park the other day. They were having so much fun, and I got some really cute shots of them!

Ali, all three giveaways look fantastic! I haven't been doing much with my camera lately, so I am sharing a picture that I took last October at a state park in Minnesota. It's a close-up of two mushrooms on the side of a tree and can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23219756@N03/3643954611/
Thanks for the opportunity to be included in the drawings!

Every since my kids were babies, I take a picture of them wearing the same clothes to see how much they've grown. I dress my daughter in one of my dresses and my son in my husband's shirt and tie. It's so cool to see how every year the clothes are beginning to fit them more and more.
Here is my daughter:

The first picture of my 3 boys returning home from Spring Football; dirty, sweaty and tired, but TOGETHER!
This is the one and only year they will all proudly wear maroon and represent FHS! My heart grew 3 sizes to see them all get out of the car carrying their helmets with huge grins on their face!

Taken at the end of May - my favorite photo is of my 5 month old son (then) sitting in a chair with his grandpa reading to him - you mainly see my little boy looking intently at the book.

Wow... what awesome sponsors you have Ali.
I took a photo recently of my baby boy. It was a quiet weekend, and we were all down with a stomach virus. Late one evening as I was relaxing in my sofa chair, he walked up, and didn't say anything. He was not his usual rambunctious self as a result of being sick, but he was satisfied being in the presence of his Mommy. I snapped this photo of him in the low light.

Hi -
My favorite photo right now is one taken this week of my 2 yr. old at our Lincoln Children's Museum. He has the biggest eyes in the photo and he's standing in a tree, so he looks just like a hoot owl.
It can be seen here.....

One of my favorite photographs is one I took in Greece of a red door in an alleyway. I loved the lighting and the deep red color against the granite of the buildings lining the alleyway.

My husband and I are currently working and living in Singapore, FAR away from our family in the States. My recent favorite photo is of our 3 month old son pushing up off his tummy to say hello his Nana in California while we were on skype. I posted the picture on the homepage of our family website: www.rogerskampung.com
