Me! Me!! Pick me! I'll be back with the rest. :)

Mindy said...

Okay, we think alike, V... my favorites are the turquoise with red polka dots and the classy b&w, but I couldn't help smiling at the owl one... my daughter would love that one!!

Mindy said...

Left a comment for Shey. :)

Mindy said...

Facebooked... and hoping that I'm the only commenter... so far so good. ;) Hahahahhaha.... as if THAT could ever happen!

Mindy said...

Whew! Blogged! It wouldn't let me upload a picture, so I'll put it on tomorrow. The link ishttp://smithfamilyicecreamscoop.blogspot.com/2009/11/another-giveaway-at-vs.html

And that, my dear V, is it... I don't tweet, so I'm done cluttering up your comments. :)

Cathy said...

I have seen straps like this before and have always wanted something fun to wear.. "Baby" {Sony Alpha} would be happy to have some new bling.. I like the black and white classy one but let my jump over and check them all out.

Kim Davis said...

I'm new to your site but I'm loving your sense of humor so far!

Kim Davis said...

My favorite in her shop right now is the one she is giving away here--the Pom Pom Flourish :)

Cathy said...

Okay first I loved the black and white diamond dot.. but then I saw the blk and wht damask with orange minky (orange to match my Sony).. Oh choices..choices.. I think I would have to go with the diamond dot... Oh, I don't enter too many contests but I really would love to win this one since my camera is part of my outfit when I am out..

Karen said...

Great giveaway! I just have a new camera too.

Kim Davis said...

I leave comments on her blog whenever she has a giveaway or when she gets me excited about a new book she's reviewed for Harper Teen. I love YA :)

Karen said...

I had a look and its way too hard to decide. To be fair on the other camera users in my house I probably shouldn't pick anything too girly as much as I would like to. Do you think the aqua and red dot is too girly????/

Karen said...

I left her a comment and to wish her in advance a Happy Australia Day(Jan 26).

Karen said...

Sent out a tweet. Getting better at this tech stuff now.

Karen said...

And facebooked. No bloggong for me tonight gotta read some bedtime stories for my bbbbaby boy.

Marielle said...

Great give away, I realy want to win, because I love to make photo's and hate my camera strap.
Now of to blog about this

Marielle said...

Pick 1??? That is very difficult there are some many beatiful designs.
But I think I would like to have Vibrant Paisley Because I just love lime and pink

Marielle said...

I blogged about your giveaway her http://madesign-quilt.blogspot.com/

Marielle said...

It turned out really great and it was super easy!!

I was looking at Shay [B]'s site the other day and drooling over her camera straps! My stepmom is a photographer and I was thinking that would be a fantastic Christmas present for her! The one I picked out for her is the Cha Cha Carnival with a lens cap hold or the Vibrant Paisley with a lens cap holder.

Unknown said...

Ok I went to Shay's blog!

Sims Family said...

Those are so cute!

Unknown said...

I was going to make one for my photographer friend, but winning one would be even better! Oh, and I do like you. :)

Katie Lewis said...

Visited her site. I would have to say the New Green Ta Dot is the one I would choose for my friend. She loves sherbet colors and it would fit her personality so well.

Christy @ MCH PHOTOGRAPHY said...

These are so darn cute! Would it be bad if my camera was wearing cuter accessories than me?

David and Christine said...

I absolutely love your blog, you are just so creative!

Mary on Lake Pulaski said...

Like who cares what this says - you know I just want the camera strap!

Mary on Lake Pulaski said...

Mary on Lake Pulaski said...

Aleycia said...

I love the Diamond Dot black and white :)

radhi said...

firstly, i heart your creativity and am thankful you share it with all of us! secondly, i heart the "fall apple trees" camera strap! i think my new lomo camera would look cute hanging off of any of those sweet straps. thanks very much!

David and Christine said...

I left a comment for Shey and if I could choose any strap I would either choose the Vibrant Paisley or Apple Fall in that order.

Amy said...

Oooh, the pom pom flourish is my favorite!! Yay that it's the one in the giveaway!

Thanks so much!

It won't make you laugh, well it might, but it will make you smile! I finally finished that friendship quilt! Go me!

girlsmama said...

I really like the vibrant paisley one on Sheyb's site. I like the one you're giving away to. I already have one, but it's be fun to switch them out! I think I should win so I can have variety in my life. :)

Tess Smith said...

i love the diamond dot strap. it's very "me". the disco dot is a close 2nd, followed by the black and white damask.

Amanda Joy Petersen said...

As my random comment, I like damask so much I think I want to purchase mismatched chairs and put black and white damask on the seats. I like how it would look with my bright yellow and white kitchen walls. Hubby not so excited. P.s. I love the pine cone wreath and really want to make one, hubby also not so excited:)

Beki - TheRustedChain said...

These are on my wish list for Christmas!

The black/white damask with minky back, to be exact. (either hot pink or lime green. Probably green. Not that I'm picky or anything...)

Beki - TheRustedChain said...

AND I talked to her on the phone today. For over an hour.

I'm pretty sure that makes me cooler than anyone else on earth right now, so I should win just on the coolness factor.

JessikaLaundry said...

Love them! I can't seem to pick my favorite between the lime green polka dot and the black and white one!

Kari @ Beautiful Inspirations said...

I LOVE this idea! My husband and I are saving up for a brand new Nikon D90 camera, by selling almost everything we own. Having a fancy free camera strap to go with my fancy new camera would just make my day! :)

Ashley said...

New to your blog. Found it blog-hopping and I LOVE you! Not in a creepy way. My camera is too crappy and cheap to need a neck strap, but my sister recently got a camera, and when I saw this I thought of her in a heartbeat. My very favorite is the black and white damask with pink minky accents. Too bad it's not eligible. I hope I win the contest! Thanks for the giveaway, and Thanks Shey B!!! Talented! I'm not good at this blogging stuff, and I'm not sure if you can find me just from this post (in case I win) so here's my email.
wrightmemail@gmail.com

Rachel said...

rachel_musgrove@hotmail.com

Heather said...

I soooooo wanna win this strap but my luck is like, well, bad ju-ju or something, so I will very likely be buying a strap for me soon! Thanks for the opportunity to win!! I'll be back with the rest just in case my luck turns around! :)

Heather said...

Oooh! I just went browsing through the straps and I must say I absolutely LURVE me the Black and White Damask with Lime Minky. I mean, MINKY!? Who'd of thunk it! So soft and nice for the neck.

Laine said...

Ever since I seen these camera straps I have wanted one. Hope you pick me.
