This week’s WhatTheCraft Giveaway is sponsored by Laura of UnwindRewind Photography & Altered Ephemera!

your choice of any 8×10 photograph UnwindRewind, custom framed!
Valued at $40!

How long have you been doing UnwindRewind?
I have been doing UnwindRewind as a business for a bit over a year now, but I’ve been doing photography for much longer – about 8 years.

Is it a full-time or part-time endeavor?
It’s definitely full-time. Between planning, shooting, editing, printing, matting, shipping and promoting – let’s just say it’s always something different!
Where do you find inspiration?
Everywhere! I always have at least one camera on me so I never miss that one shot. When the weather’s nice here in Illinois it’s all about nature and architecture, but when the weather cools you’ll see me moving more into portraiture and still life.
What is your favorite item you’ve ever made?
I have a shot I call “Toad in a Burrow”. My fiance and I had just finished packing up the car to head home from vacation and I caught the toad out of the corner of my eye. It was literally the last picture I took that trip and I’d never seen a blue and purple toad. I edited his burrow into black and white but left his colors natural (or natural to him!), they were just so stunning.

 

If you had a million dollars, what’s the first handmade item you’d buy?
I’m big into clock and watch collecting and MosaicLaw has a mind-bending art piece on Etsy that I just love. It would be first on my purchase list!
What is your favorite breakfast cereal? 
You’ll never get me Lucky Charms!

Stay frosty

This post brought to you by PackIt. All opinions are 100% mine.

We just bought a new house (YAY!) and there’s lots of be work done (BOO!). We’re staying in our current house until we have everything settled in the new house, so that means there’s a lot of comforts missing… like a fridge.

PackIt lunch boxes

Advertisement to the rescue!

I just happened to get my PackIt  the night before we closed on the house, so when we started working the next day, we had ice cold beverages to keep us hydrated.

Here’s a picture of the cool blue PackIt I received with one of Mr. Smarmy’s yucky energy drinks, which it did an awesome job of keeping cold.

The packaging says up to 10 hours, but I took out an unopened drink about 12 hours after I’d put it in and it was still cold.

The coolest thing about the PackIt is that it doesn’t require ice. The entire PackIt itself is like a big ice pack. You fold it up, pop it in the freezer, and you’re good to go! No more melty ice cubes!

It’s the perfect size for lunch, picnics, the beach… any food or drinks you want to keep cold will stay ICE cold in this sweet baby.

You can get your very own PackIt, and their website is offering a really awesome deal right now. Buy one at $19.95 and get a second one free! That’s a steal!

What will you use your PackIt for?
