Sun & Sand – a cool giveaway.

Random thought: Do you hate your wallet? 
I do. Mine is boring. Non-original. Black (although it does have a fun pink heart on it) and practical. *Very much NOT my style*

Well, if you are bored of your wallet- today is your lucky day! *grin*

We’re doing another giveaway here on the Gigi blog and today, one extremely lucky reader will win a new, not-drab-but-amazing-unique-funky wallet from the online store of Andrea in Pajamas! C’mon. Just by the store name, you can tell these wallets are NOT going to be boring!
Pick your fave …

and my personal FAVORITE …. (Seriously. Wouldn’t this go so well with the Gigimobile?)

Andrea Swanson, the brains behind the online business, hand creates all her items and even creates her own patters. Now, I can’t even sew a button on a shirt properly – I can’t even imagine the work that goes into creating a wallet that folds, closes, holds money and looks gorgeous!

So, to enter the giveaway, all you have to do is a leave a comment on the blog. Simple. Easy. 

And now on to the sneak peek for the Wilson family …

 

Sun. Sand. Love. A happy family. 
What else could one want?

Karen (the mom) was SOOOO sweet – the day after our session together, she had FLOWERS sent to my door to say thank you! WOW! That was the first time a client has ever sent me flowers and I was completely blown away and blessed! You made my WEEK, Karen! I hope this sneak peek makes yours!
