I am giddy with excitement for this week’s giveaway!!  I fell in love with these reusable shopping bags a little before Christmas last year, when I discovered them on a short segment of the Today Show.

Have you heard of BAGGU BAGS?

 

Aren’t they delish?  Now, don’t get me wrong, I am all about going green, but when you can go green and look this cute… SIGN ME UP!!!!!  I have a set of four bags that I keep in my bag at all times, so I’m always ready for a shopping trip.  This is the color combo that I am currently sporting, and I must say, I get compliments galore every time I pull them out of my bag!

Yes, they fit in your bag or purse so you will never leave them in the car again!! They fold up into a little pouch that fits nicely into even a small hand bag.

I love these bags so much that I sent sets to all my family last Christmas… they now LOVE them too! 

Baggu has generously offered a set of three bags to one lucky WhipperBerry reader!!!!

Let’s get started…

Jeanna Hayes, one of my all time favorite photographers, is hosting some amazing photography classes here in Las Vegas for anyone (and I mean anyone) who would like to take their photography to the next level.  I have taken one of her classes, and I have to say that it completely changed my life.  That may seem like and over-exaggeration… but it’s not. 

Jeanna, who was a teacher before she became a photographer, has an amazing ability to explain crazy abstract things (like aperture) in a way that actually makes sense.  It goes without saying—but I will say it anyway—I highly recommend her classes. 

The fun thing  is, she is providing a field trip to an amazing wonderland styled by the fabulous Suzanne Johnson of She Paperie.  This was the field trip for her last session of classes last year…

   

Here is the inspiration for this years field trip… you are going to LOVE it!!

Isn’t it DIVINE?!  For those of you in Vegas who would like to participate here is the information (double click on the images to view in a larger format)…

For those of you who are interested, Jeanna is running a promotion on her blog for someone to win a scholarship to one of her classes.  Click here to hop over there and enter the giveaway!!  Tell her that WhipperBerry sent’cha!!
