Happy March!! Can you believe its March already? I can NOT! So I bet you see the ads on the side bar but wonder… “who REALLY are these people?” haha. Well, Im not sure if you ask that… BUT I think I am going to introduce the new sponsors every month. What do you think? Would you be interested in seeing new blogs, products and people? Will a little post like this help you get to know these people better? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section. And welcome them why don’t-cha?

FIRST OFF!! I am really excited to be contributing on Elsie Flannigan’s (a beautifulmess.typepad.com) blog for the next few months. It was so sweet of her to approach me about contributing and I am really excited about some of the projects I will be presenting, including some AWESOME DIY projects. Your favorites. So stay tune here and there… I will post all the stuff on this blog as well for you to see.

INTRODUCING STEPH! She is a full time missionary/volunteer with the arts ministry pick a pocket. She makes art… but not for arts sake, but for the sake of others. Her passions are photography, graphic design, collageing, music, jewelry making, and coffee drinking. 50% of profit from her art goes right back into the ministry while the other 50% goes into new art equipment: cameras, film, dark room chemicals, jewelry supplies… basically anything she needs to make my art. Isn’t that amazing?

INTRODUCING The ULMERS STUDIO. The Ulmers are photographers and they are such a cute family. They during their college years, dated, got engaged, and married all within 9 months. When you KNOW, you just KNOW. Now almost 5 years later, they have a precious baby girl and are on our way to living out their dream. Amber and Josh started out with their love of photography at different points in their lives. Once they got together, the love of capturing moments so they are not forgotten just multiplied. Now, they feel so blessed to be able to provide that for others.

INTRODUCING EPIPHANIE BAGS! These bags so sooo hot! I got one the other day and im really excited to tell you more about it. Maile has been a professional photographer for close to 15 years. She knew there was a huge gap in the market place when she found herself continually wrapping her camera in a hand towel and shoving it inside her purse. Clearly not the safest way to transport expensive equipment, it was less of a hassle than lugging around another bulky camera bag. She needed something practical enough to use during a session, but also versatile enough that she could bring it to a ballet recital, soccer game, a fun weekend or girls’ night out. After an extensive search, she realized that her dreamy purse/camera-bag hybrid did not exist. So maile set out to create one!

Clearly there are MANY of us who have been on a quest for some TRULY HOT CAMERA/HANDBAGS. Whether you’re a professional photographer, a scrapbooker, or just a girl who loves to take pictures, her bags make it EASY to bring your camera with you everywhere!
