You know when you love doing something so much that you get butterflies and your tummy does flips? That’s what’s happening to me right now. My two loves are coming into action: Photography and happy mail. The excitement is REAL.
Earlier this year I did something super cool with my friends at Olympus. I made up 150 little boxes filled with fun things for people to use in their photography. I then sent them off around the world, and people had fun including them in their photos. You can see what was inside the boxes, and also see some of the photos from the community.
So it was pretty much the best thing ever. EVER. I had a blast with it. The sign-up process was simple. I put a call out to people to let me know if they were interested, so they did, and then I randomly selected 150 people and sent them out. It didn’t cost people a cent. My Olympus friends totally covered all the costs. They’re good like that.
We’re going it again. Round two is about to happen!
If you love photography, and love playing around, then I want you to take part. Simply leave your details below before 15th November. During the month of November I’ll start sending out the Fun Kits, so you’ll have to stalk your mailbox to see if you’re one of the lucky people to get them. You can use the contents {which I’m keeping a secret from you for now!} to play around with and take awesome photos.
Please only sign up if you’re intending to play along and use the contents, please don’t sign up just to get something free in the mail. You’ll be potentially robbing someone of an awesome experience.
Leave your details below. I can’t wait to play around again! It’s open worldwide.
Oh, and one last thing. Last year I asked friends around Australia to hide Fun Kits in their local town. If you’d like to be a hider, stay tuned because I’ll be doing a call out on Facebook soon. x
When are these going to,get mailed out…I want to participate but will be moving in 2 weeks!!!
Register with your new address 🙂
This is going to be fun!
What a fab idea to bring out the creative side. The photos from the last fun kit photos look great. V x
I love this idea so hard! I really enjoy instagram, and other photography sites, so this would be awesome!
I’m in for this round! Fingers crossed x
Happy to be a hider if you need me to be.
OH MY GOSH I hope I’m chosen to receive one… what FUN!!!!
Pretty please with a juicy cherry on top! ? xx
Signed up – thank you so much for the opportunity to participate! *Fingers crossed* that one of the fun kits wings its way to me in Canada, as I’d love to play! 🙂
Starting my photography course in November and I am so stoked.
Awesome idea!
Me Me me me!!!! You know I will do it! AND I am now a total Olympus convert…. (yep got one!) OH BABY!This is right up my alley… so to speak. Can I just say… I love how you celebrate the joy and the fun and the good things in life.I love how you find the special little moments. It is my philosophy too… and I am so glad I finally began reading your blog and for discovering the person behind the name.x?
This was so much fun the first time around. I’m totally up for round two!
My biggest challenge is to stop my little 6 year old from pinching all the items for her treasure box 🙂
Last rounds photos looked a whole lot of fun and loved them popping up in my feed.
Sounds like fabulous fun at the “most wonderful time of the year”! Thanks Olympus for sharing through Chantelle ?
I’d love to get a kit to inspire my kindergarten class to be creative with their photography, they all very interested in taking photos of one another.
I would LOVE a kit and my birthday is November 18th! hint, hint!
I would LOVE to join in. It would be a massive improvement on the only other thing I have won, a smoke alarm and fire extinguisher (when I was 7yo)
Fingers crossed x
Brilliant idea may help me re find my photography mojo.
Keeping an eye out for hider post as well spreading joy is fun
Such a fabulous idea, I’ll keep eye out for the hider details also. x
Exciting stuff… I’m crossing my fingers already ?
How fun! I only just saw this in the Facebook group. Didn’t realize you had done it before. Such a neat idea. I’m not usually one to “win” anything, but I will keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks for this opportunity! I sure hope I win this..?
It looked so much fun last time
This idea has us all giddy with excitement in the MumLife Australia office. We’ve been brainstorming a #reallifemums campaign for @mumlifeaustralia and these fun props would be an awesome way to kick things off.
I want to be a hider !!
