Readers of this blog know that I’m focusing on giving for the year 2013. That’s why I was excited to join in with a really great group of blogger friends and do this awesome giveaway!
Yep! We are giving away a Canon Rebel T3 camera. Woot!
The five of us all have blogs that run the gamut as far as topics, and so we tried to come up with something that all of our readers might want a chance at. Who can’t use a camera?! Well, some of you might already have one, but you should take a look at this, because it’s pretty darn nice. So excited!
So, down to business.
You can have more than one chance to win this camera, if you are so motivated, so start by . . .
1. Subscribe to my blog. If you are already subscribed, that’s great–one thing already done. But, you must be subscribed to enter.
2. Comment on this post before Wednesday (1/30/2013 midnight PST). Let me know you are interested. You must comment to be entered.
3. To get more chances, do the same for each of these blogs–these are all my good friends and I read their blogs regularly so I know they are all good writers. If you subscribe and comment on all five of our blogs, that gives you at least five chances to win.
4. Winner will be announced on Saturday, February 2nd.
*Unfortunately, this is open to US residents only. You must have a US postal address in order for us to send you the camera.
But don’t worry, this camera giveaway is just the first of several large giveaways I am going to be doing this year, and I will be sure to do one and include the whole world. After all, I plan on changing the world, right?!
Good luck and most of all, happy reading!

Bethany,
How kind of you and your buddies to run this contest. If I win, I will use the camera to try and capture the majesty of the natural world. Especially the simple parts- a stone, a stick, mist on a field.
I’ve enjoyed seeing you move forward with such energy into your social media work. Great messages always.

This is such and incredible prize. Thank you for this contest!
I came when I saw the camera giveaway and am always hesitant to subscribe to anything, but then I read yours posts and this struck me so much I’m here to stay. I so need whitespace. WOW
“For this blog, I refer to “whitespace” as the calm between our storms, the good things in life that provide you with personal therapy, the hobbies, the friends, the small things that make you smile or laugh, the quiet moments. The prayer. Whatever it is that gives you joy, peace, contentment, despite the many trials we go through or the normal daily routine of life and work–that’s what I refer to as whitespace.”
Thank you so much Tracy. Your comment has helped me. Sometimes I get off course, or I think that “it’s not good enough” and then someone like you comes along and says it is.
Good luck on the drawing!
I would love to win a great camera like this.
Love the rebel series
Thanks, we need a new camera badly, YOU ROCK!
Great giveaway and even better blog!

Thanks Kim! It is my hope that my new subscribers will enjoy my blog as well, so I’m glad you had a peek around.

I SO want to take PERFECT pictures and this is the camera that will help me do that!!
Girl you know I am down! I could use a camera to take pics for my blog! YAY!
I’m subscribed.
I don’t own a camera and would love this one
I am subscribed to your blog. I am interested in winning the camera. Thanks.
I am a subscriber. I would love to win this for my son. His camera got stolen ad he would love a new one.
I’m interested! I subscribed to your blog.
You have a great blog here. I enjoyed reading your posts; especially the post, ‘How To Keep A Resolution: Because It’s A Gift’. Thank you for sharing your insights.
Winning this camera would be an awesome thing for me. My digital camera died some time ago and I haven’t been able to purchase another one yet.
I would be using the camera to get some good pictures of my mom who has Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Back in 2006 there was a freak flood on the street that she and my younger brother live on and they lost everything including all of there pictures. I want to make sure that I have plenty of pictures of her, my two brothers and my son together before she passes away.
I also need to update the profile pictures on my social media sites (Facebook, Myspace, Linkedin, and Pinterest), plus I am getting ready to develop my first WordPress blog and want better pictures to place on the blog before I publish it.
I am hoping to be able to go on a road trip this summer with my son to Maine to visit with my sister, two energetic nephews and beautiful niece. I would be able to take great photos of them as well. My sister has shared some beautiful pictures of her and the kids and the surrounding mountains and landscape. I would love to be able to photograph it myself if I am able to get there.
I have subscribed to this blog and do enjoy it. Thank you.
i subscribed. thank you for this awesome giveaway!
it’s late and i can’t read.
That’s ok. I need to write an update saying that it’s closed now.
