some good news {and a giveaway too!}

Ok. So I never enter ANYTHING. Sweepstakes? Nope. Competitions? Not likely. Contests where you guess the number of jelly beans in the jar? Definitely not. (Although maaaaybe, if the prize is getting to keep all the jelly beans). I mean, what are the odds of little old me, getting picked out of a million-gillion people?! Well, if I was good at fractions I would tell you. But instead, I will tell you that sometimes you should ignore those Debbie-downer thoughts and be spontaneously positive. Because maybe, just maybe, you will win. And perhaps that awesome thing you win will be an Adorama gift card. AND a brand new Shoot Sac to replace your old one that has cake stains on it. AND some amazing photography resources, including an insanely awesome branding course from The Joy of Marketing.

If you haven’t already guessed it, we are winners today! About a month ago, as I was perusing workshops on the Fisheye Connect website, I came across their Back to School Contest. And maybe it was because I had mixed my coffee just right that morning, or because I was wearing my snuggliest pair of sweatpants, but something inside me made me enter. For once I didn’t close the pop-up immediately and scoff at my chances. I took five minutes of time, filled out my entry form, and then forgot all about it. Until today, when I got an email, letting me know that I had won!! I was so pumped!

And because I felt so ridiculously excited to be a winner today, we are going to pay it forward! We are obsessed with the Pumpkin Spice Latte lately (and the fact that it’s almost time for Fall!), so we are going to give a $15 Starbucks card to one lucky reader! To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment below telling us what your favorite Fall Starbucks drink is! The winner will be picked at random using Random.org, and will be announced Monday!
