1 For Me // 1 For You | November 2012

Clearly, I’m not the best multi-tasker… But with busy-season (and 25 AMAZING weddings) behind us, it’s high time we get back to a little giveaway we like to call “1 For Me // 1 For You.” And THIS one might be my favorite one YET. The rules will be a little different this time around, so you’ll definitely want to read them fully:

• What is it? It’s simple! If I have one of something that I find awesome, I send the winner a duplicate!
• Who can enter? Friends, past/present clients, random readers, etc.! BUT, you HAVE to be on Instagram. :)
• How long do I have to enter? You’ll have until next Saturday, November 10th at midnight CST to enter. Each person who enters will be assigned a number. The winner will then be chosen at random using the random number generator at Random.org and announced on Sunday, November 11th.
• Fab! How do I enter? Here’s where things get funky! In order to enter this month, you must (1) Instagram a picture of something you are thankful for, (2) explain why you’re thankful for it, (3) give it the hashtag #1forme1foryou, and (4) mention me, @alysefrench in your caption. There may or may not be bonus points for actually following me. ;) So remember! You cannot enter via Facebook, Twitter or by commenting on this post. ONLY Instagram!
• But why? Because Instagram’s my absolute favorite form of social media. And I am thankful for it. :)

Alright, friends. THE GOODS! Here’s what we’re talking… A 30″x40″ print of your favorite Instagrams! Head on over to Printsgram.com and see what I mean. Once home, go to PRODUCTS > CREATE A1 POSTER > CONNECT WITH INSTAGRAM > BIG POSTER. From there, the winner will be able to create a poster of 140 of their fave pictures ever. Once complete, I’ll simply need the resulting PDF downloaded and emailed to me so I can have it printed by my favorite print company – WHCC. This is the same company I use for all of my clients’ prints!!

Here are some shots showing off my own print made last month! I wanted something large enough to stand (rather than hang) in my office, and it’s full of images that encompass who I am as a photog, wifey, and bulldog mama. :) You’ll see I chose to get rid of the title (and Printsgram logo once in the lower right corner) in Photoshop. And I can do the same for the winner… Unfortunately, the large frame is not up for grabs. But it IS from Ikea!

Here we go! REMEMBER – enter by Instagraming something you are thankful for. Explain why you’re thankful for it, using the hashtag #1forme1foryou, and mentioning me, @alysefrench. Only one entry counted per person. But by all means, be thankful for all sorts of things. :) (If your account is set to private, I should still be notified if you mention me. So don’t let that stop you!) GO!!!

Not-so-fine print: All contestants must live within the continental United States and must be able to provide a valid mailing address upon winning. I am not responsible for items that are lost, stolen or damaged during shipment. The winner will have 24 hours to contact me and redeem the item or a new winner will be chosen.
