When Janelle offered to make me some custom charms from her company, I was aghast. I don’t have things custom made for me. I buy things at Goodwill then customize them with spray paint, so this was a HUGE treat for me.
Here’s where things get tricky. I wanted to show off her brilliant charms! Easy enough, right? Well, let’s take a look.
Notice where the camera is. Then notice where my eyes are. I’m looking in the mirror. Smiling at myself. I know, I know. Don’t quit my day job.
Let’s try again. Not bad, you say? What you don’t know is that I had to crop this one because I had a big ol’ Nemesis hair to the left. GAR!
Alright, let’s stay focused here. The point is that Janelle makes some of the most precious charms I’ve seen. I love anything that can be personalized, so these are right up my alley.
Maybe they’re right up your alley too! Wanna win some? Here we go!
What: One lucky winner will win 2 (not 1) charms from Sodderbug! That’s valued at $60.00!
Who: Anyone who comments and tells me what fantastic photography skills I have. Orrrr, you can just leave a comment.
When: I’ll announce the winner on Friday! Can’t wait! Thank you, Janelle!

I'd love one! And you have some mad photography skills!
Well, I'm sure you are going to think I'm just sucking up to you but I really do think you take great photos. Wish I could take 1/2 half as good as you.

The charms are awesome! I love hoe unique they are. I'm totally like you…I never get anything personalized…I'm the one "personalizing"!
Oooh I love the last charm! I would put a picture of my kids and husband in it, OR…my favorite place in the world. It's a toss up. Thanks for the opportunity.
Yes, taking a pic of oneself in the mirror usually takes about 20 shots-I think! I am a disaster! Your charms are so sweet!
~Nancy
Great pictures, wonderful giveaway
I know most people would put a photo of their children in one but I just know my little doggie would look AWESOME framed around my neck!
Excellent photo skills….I have tried that so many times and if I get all of my face in the shot, I look like a dork…
Pretty charms!! Love em! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I need one of these with my precious one on it!

[email protected]
Mad photography skillz. Does the z make it seem more awesome? No? Oh, well, ok then.
These are really cute. I am loving the tree.
Hey, you're not going to kick me out of the contest for poor spelling are you?
What amazing charms. I am in love with these designs. Thanks for the opportunity to win. [email protected]
Once I tried to take a picture of myself with my camera phone to send to my husband who is far away…lets just say, it is not as easy as it looks…at least you had a mirror…after about forty snaps I decided a cropped half faced mad looking woman would be just fine to send. Besides, the desciption fits anyhow! Can't wait to win a charm…yeah!
These charms are amazing and so are your photo skills chris!! love your blog!!
What a fun giveaway. Thanks
Hi Chris. It's obvious you do have mad photography skills and I'm jealous. Ha-ha. Please include me in your awesome giveaway.

Those charms are adorable. Your one lucky girl.
Amazing photography….I mean it!!!
It would take me forever to just get ready…and I don't mean primping, I mean cleaning the mirror and that would lead to cleaning the bathroom and that would lead to finding that the camera battery needs charging….
Love those charms and now I need to go find the windex.
You're so silly! I think you look adorable. I love these charms. I'd love to win!
These are absolutely fabulous!
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your noble strides in making us all feel better about our photography skills. We all understand that you "staged" this just so we'd be encouraged to keep trying (because, gee, if this is what you call bad, I've got a ways to go before I'm even up to horribly awful!). I love this gorgeous jewelry items, and I completely understand what you mean when you say you're not used to getting customized gifts and that you remake them for yourself from bargain buys. A lot of us are living THAT little dream these days.
Beautiful. I would love one! Love your blog by the way!
Wow, I really love these. Please put my name in. I think your photo skills are great!!!

I love this. I have wanted a charm similar to this for a long time of my boys (hubby and the kiddos).
Of course, your mirror image is much better than any I have done. Oh, mine turn out looking like some sort of twisted Dali painting.
Love your blog. You are too funny! Would love to be in on the this drawing
I'd rather brag than beg. I do love your photos. I love the lighting and the saturation.
Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
I never would have guessed you took that picture yourself in a mirror…great job! Who cares if you're not looking at the camera, it makes you mysterious…
Take care.
