Jillian In Italy

Many thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway and shared it on all of the social media networks.  And many thanks to Origrami for sponsoring this great giveaway.  I encourage everyone to order a set of these gorgeous prints (that are so well priced!).

I asked all of the people who entered the contest what their favourite subject to photograph is and after reading all of the comments I have come to the conclusion that photographing our children is definitely one of the most popular .  And I can admit that I have THOUSANDS of photos of my three kids doing everything from their everyday routine activities to shots of them on special occasions.  I love documenting their childhood through photos.

Many congratulations to our giveaway winner Chasing Hygge!  Please write an email to jillianinitaly@hotmail.com with your mailing details.

It’s Jillian In Italy‘s first giveaway today!  I’ve been thinking about doing a giveaway for some time now and I wanted it to be a good one.  So after a lot of pondering and humming and hawing I decided to contact one of my favorite companies to see if they’d be interested in working together.  Luckily they were!

So today’s giveaway is sponsored by the fantastic company Origrami.  Origrami is a husband and wife team based in Sydney, Australia who print up stylish prints of your Instagram shots.

They have a great user-friendly website that allows you to log in with your Instagram account and choose 36 square prints on matte premium card-stock.  There are multiple design themes to choose from including a photo map on the back to show where the photo was taken (how cool is that?).

They arrive (in record time I might add) in your mailbox in a super stylish cardboard box.  This really is the ultimate way to display your favorite IG shots or to give as an original gift (they even have gift cards available).  I ordered a set a few months back (see them here) and I’ve displayed a lot in my home, sent a ton to my 91 year old grandmother and even carry the rest in my purse to show every Tom, Dick and Harry I come across (lucky them!).

So today we’re giving away a set of Origrami prints (many thanks to Origrami for offering this to Jillian In Italy readers!) and I’ll be throwing in a little package including a few of my handmade wooden Origrami photo holders (see them here) as well as some other surprise items (gotta love a surprise, no!).

*contest open to everyone, worldwide!

*open until Friday August 2nd at midnight (Italy time my friends!) and I’ll announce the winner on Monday August 5th

*leave a comment here telling me your favorite subject to photograph (with your phone or camera!).

*go visit Origrami and show some love

*I’d greatly appreciate it if you shared this contest on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest or Twitter (but it’s not obligatory)

*only one entry per person

*and if you like you can include your Instagram username so we can all check out some of your shots (yeah I’m nosy). I’m here on IG.

Happy Friday Everyone!
