THE BOOK of BECOMING
a living collection
The news that I’ve been holding in since November is….(drum-roll!)
Our amazing, talented publicist got connected with the nationally recognized Woman’s World magazine! You know, the magazine that has over 1 million subscribers!
They put their heads together and came up with an idea: A BIG Camera Giveaway!
Woman’s World said they would run the contest in their magazine and point everyone to sign up on our website. They said to be prepared for around 10K submissions! (this is where I fall out of my chair as I get the news from our publicist!) Then Woman’s World asks if Sony would want to join in the fun.
We give Sony a call, and Sony doesn’t hesitate. They are so AWESOME! They jump right in. But here’s the thing. Sony not only offers one camera, but THREE, Sony Alpha 350 DSLRs with 14.2 Mega pixels, the Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization and lens!!!! The value of one camera is over $700!!
Three people have the opportunity to win one of these babies. And let me tell you, the A350 is an awesome camera! The color quality rocks. The adjustable, pop out, live preview on the back of the camera shows you how the light changes if you change your ISO or shutter speed.
And the settings are all on top which make it EASY to find things. Ask Brian, I have LOVED that camera since I first picked it up, and we get to give away THREE!
So seriously, tell ALL your friends and family to sign up by clicking LEARN MORE at our www.refusetosaycheese.com site!
Looks a little like this!
You have a chance to win one of these three bad boys! Each of the three winners will also get a copy of our popular DVDs, Refuse to Say Cheese and Beyond the Green Box!
But here is the last thing! Once you sign up for the camera giveaway, you will get an email that confirms your submission. In that email will be coupon codes for both the DVDs and the 101 Kits to get 20% off! Awesome Possum!
That’s the news! Is that cool, or what!

A big shout out to Woman’s World magazine and Sony for helping us launch our BIGGEST contest giveaway ever!!

Ok, I feel like a total dork! I totally thought it was going to be a photo contest, and I was trying to figure out how on earth you were going to be able to sort through 10,000 pictures and pick just 3! hehe Glad that is not the case for your sake. 🙂 I’m super excited for May 1! 🙂
