giveaway time

Screenshot

in honor of our mama of the week, tara, and her love for taking pictures, i've enlisted the help of some of my photography friends. did you know that i used to be a photographer? true story. now i blog and clean and play hide and seek. which is cool. not complaining at all. i'm also adopting a couple of girls from ethiopia and that's what brings me down this path. but anyhoo, the point is that i too love photography and i miss my photo friends. so hey, photo friends, this is what i do now! worlds are colliding today, so let me welcome the slew of photographers coming over today for the giveaway. welcome. here's what we're about on give1save1. we support an adoption a week by giving a dollar to the family. and we try to get as much money as possible for a family adopting from africa. and since a dollar isn't very much i very much need this to go viral.  it's a nice thing to do and adopting families have other stuff to deal with besides stressing over a loan.

so here's the scoop for today. you know those lovely boutwells? well, they have kindly donated a copy of RadLab to us this week. here's how you can enter: after you give your dollar over there to your right up at the top(cause you were totally going to, right?) help me spread the word about give1save1 or the mowen family. facebook or blog or email or whatever. and then come tell me what you did. i am blown away by RadLab! watch this video to see some of its' insane capabilities. thank you so much to the boutwells for donating! oh, and by the way, did you know that chenin has a rockin mommy blog, fudge banana swirl? check it out. all kinds of fun stuff over there. so go ahead and give and network and help me get some money for this family! comments close at midnight thursday night. i'll announce the winner friday morning. good luck!
