Casio Exilim EX-FC100 & Jill-e Designs Camera Wristlet

Wahoo!! I just entered to win a Casio Exilim EX-FC100 hosted by The Shopping Mama! I also entered to win a Camera Wristlet by Jill-e Designs hosted by Baby Loving Mama!!

Ok, I could really use a new camera and great new camera bag. My camera is oh, about 5 years old and I thought it was 4 megapixels, but in fact when I looked at it, it is only 2! The Casio Exilim EX-FC100 is Approx. 9.1 megapixels /million)! Wow, how time flys and things change so much. The last year or so the dang thing has been eating batteries left and right. I had rechargeables but it killed them. I can put in batteries and use it a few times shut the carera off and turn it back on in a day or so and the batteries are dead. Thus, when I really need the camera I can't just grab it and take a pic because the batteries are dead. This keeps posing a big problem when trying to capture all those special moments with the girls. Also for that reason I don't have many pics on my blog yet.

I bought my camera bag the same time as I purchased my camera and it is just one of the cheap genaric camera bags that everyone has. It's an ugly black and green canvas, need I say more..... The Camera Wristlet by Jill-e Designs is more like a mini little purse! They are so cute and fashionable!

This is a little about me….

I am a mother of two beautiful girls Joclyn 5 and Isabella 17 months. My husband Jeremy and I FINALLY got married August 8, 2009, after 7 years together and 2 kids later. I have always seemed to do things backwards, but hey it all works out.

Joclyn has an enormous passion for horses. She rides when ever she can at her grandparents house where her horses are. Joclyn can be loud and obnoxious, but at the same time caring and compassionate.

Isabella is the total opposite of her sister. Whatever Joclyn didn’t do when she was little, Isabella is doing. She likes to clean out drawers and cabinets. She love kitties and loves to snuggle.

Jeremy is the love of my life and my best friend. One of the things that we both love to do when we don’t have the girls is to go riding on his Yamaha Raider. Joclyn says she wants it when she gets older…..Well, I’m not to sure about that girlie! I freak out when Jeremy takes her for a ride around the yard.

We currently live in the small town of Cochranton (population of about 1,200) in Pennsylvania. If you like 4 wheeling, snowmobile riding, and horse back riding then this is the place for you, because there is not much else to do around here. I do love living here though. It’s quiet and peacefully beautiful. I love to sit and watch the snow flakes fall, to hear the sound of thunder and watch the mesmerizing lightning.

I have always been creative with all sorts of things. I knit, croquet, make jewelry, sew, and come up with all sorts of ideas. Just about everything that was in our wedding I made (jewelry, bouquets, table runners, invites, programs, calligraphy, etc.) I wanted to make the cake too, but my mom flipped at the idea. I love being creative!

I don’t dislike a lot of things except when it come to spiders and mosquitoes!

Right now I am working on knitting purses. I also hope to be ordering beads and such very soon, so I can start working on jewelry as well. I am planning on selling my items on esty.com, so wish me luck and continue to follow me here on my blog! I will be posting my progress, family life and any other things that may happen to fly my way, so look out!
