and the winner is...

Krista Reymann!!!

to save paper and ink because i am SOO environmentally friendly (haha - read, LAZY), i scrolled up and down really fast until ivy yelled 'STOP!', and then she pointed to a name from that page :) she was quite pleased with her efforts.

so krista, email me and we can talk! you get to pick the strap of your dreams ;)

i have actually become obsessed with making camera straps. i used to make yoga mat covers back in australia and was equally obsessed with those. i think it is my inner speed demon who loves to whiz the sewing machine really, really fast in a straight(ish) line. ivy is my little helper, i hope it isn't considered child labor to have her opening bags of straps and snipping off endless loose strings. she loves it though and i pay her in ribbon scraps which she hoards in her scrapbook supply stash.

i added a few new designs this morning to the etsy shop - some cute love heart ribbons which remind me of valentines candy!

my next shop update wont be until the end of next week due to 3 contributing factors:
1) mick has begged for the living room floor to be visible again
2) i bought a ton of organic cotton yesterday to make baby blankets and burp cloths etc, i feel a new obsession coming on
3) we are moving NEXT WEEKEND! (and i have to pretend to be helpful, apparently making more straps is not helpful to my husband)

thanks for all your comments and kindness :)
see you tomorrow for art journal challenge #23!

I love your camera straps. I think I might have to try to add some ribbon to one of my camera straps. Only problem is I'm not much of a sewer-I can't even sew in a straight line!! Ugh! But I'll just have to try it out.

I love the camera straps and was wondering if you might be able to work with Donna Downey to create a strap to match her bags? I have the paisley bag that Donna does and would LOVE a matching strap....good luck with the move and the new baby!
