win a camera strap (these are the coolest!)


Recently I've become friends with Shealynn, a fellow mom, blogger, picture taking lover. She just started sewing again, and opened up an Etsy shop to share some of her latest creations... camera strap covers!!!

Shealynn is a photographer and takes many many photographs. She found that the standard camera strap really rubbed her neck raw, which made taking pictures painful most of the time! After a long photo shoot she decided she needed to do something about this! She wanted something stylish, but at the same time comfortable. That's where these wonderful strap covers came in!



This one is my favorite, I will have to have one...!

They are removable, AND washable! Shealynn picks the BEST fabrics for her covers! She's also happy to take on custom requests! Plus, if you want to change it up a bit, you can buy more than just one, and change them with your mood. They just slide right onto your camera strap.

*Strap cover fits most standard DSLR camera straps. If you're unsure if it will fit yours, just shoot her an email... shealynn@gmail.com*


Shealynn is giving away YOUR CHOICE of camera strap cover from her shop!!!

***How to enter...

1. go visit Shealynn's Etsy shop here (don't forget to "heart" her!), then come back and say which one is your favorite.

2. get a bonus entry for telling what fabric you would LIKE to see as a camera strap cover!

3. get 5 bonus entries for blogging about it! (Be sure and tell me you blogged it afterwards!)


Contest ends Friday night at 11:59 pm, the random number generator will pick out a number Saturday morning!!! Good luck!

My favorite is the one with Heather Bailey, Pop Garden in green.
I would love to see some in more masculine fabrics because my hubby takes alot of my pictures and he wouldn't like the flowers around his neck.
I would also blog about it but I don't have a blog yet.
Your baby is just simple adorable. She looks so huggable and lovable. I would love to sit and hold her for a hour or two.
Congrats.

I love the Ava Rose fabrics by Tanya Whelan, especially this aqua print http://www.freespiritfabric.com/core-pages/gallery.php?gal_id=160&sw_id=1603 or any of the Ginger Blossom prints by Sandi Henderson, or anything polka dotted. Sorry, couldn't pick just one. Hehehe...guess I'll need to buy a bunch.!

Amanda said...

I love the one you love, and I also love the Pop Garden one. I MUST HAVE ONE!!!! I usually don't use my strap because of the simple fact it hurts my neck. I've gotten to the point where I'd put it on my shoulder...I know big no no! So I guess if I don't win I'm going to totally be getting one!!!!!

I have a few other things in Midwest Modern fabric, so it would be fun to have it match. As some others said, black and white would be fun so that my hubs wouldn't complain about it being pink like he does when he drives my car with my key fob! : )
