tegan & sara {find beauty friday}

I have a bit of a confession to make today.  I enter giveaways on blogs.  I spend my Saturday mornings entering anything that someone is giving away that I deem worth my time, more than $25 and if it's something I would use.  It only takes me a few hours of my morning.  The husband works on Saturdays so it is not taking away from our time together.  That is what Sundays are for. phew, that felt good to get out. 

Anyway, about two weeks ago I got an email from Melyssa from The Nectar Collective letting me know I won the $130 to Amazon and $100 to Etsy giveaway she held on her blog.  I have won my fair share of these giveaways but it is always like Christmas morning when I get a notification saying that my time paid off.  Then while I was hanging out with my girlfriends, that same week, the husband sent me a message letting me know he won tickets to see Tegan & Sara through a local radio station WYEP.   The freebie gods were working in our favor. (he's not around to confirm it, but I think he played the lottery shortly after.) 

Despite WYEP forgetting to add us to their guest list, we had a great night in the city and listening to some live music.  Tegan & Sara put on one of hell of a show.  By far one of my favorite shows I have been to in a while.   

Do you enter giveaways?

If so, have you been lucky?

Are a Tegan & Sara fan?

Have you gone to any concerts lately?

and because my ears are still ringing (in a good way)...

Linking up with Aimee and Whitney today!

Drawing

Hi everyone!  It's that time of year again; the temps are starting to drop, the leaves are changing, almost time to switch out your wardrobe, and a beautiful time for a photo shoot.   On October 17th I am going to draw a lucky Facebook fan's name for a photo shoot of their choosing for half off (that's right - HALF OFF). 

How to get your name put in the drawing you ask?  Simple.  All you need to do is "Like" my Facebook fanpage here. Those of you who already are fans (THANK YOU!) will automatically go in.  You can get your name put into the drawing more times if you suggest my page to your friends.  Just have your friend(s) who you referred to my page let me know who referred them and I will add your name in accordingly. 

In addition to getting a half off photo shoot you will get an 8x10 Standout Photo of your choosing on me!

Look forward to hearing from you all and don’t forget to spread the word for a better chance to win!

Good Luck!

xoxo,
Alyson aka acornphotography :)
