Discount code + Canon Mark II give-away!
Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 3:59PM
Exactly a year ago today I announced that I'd been working on a two-year project to create a line of first-ever cute camera bag/purses. I remember writing the post, then saving it as a draft while I summoned the courage to hit "publish". Suddenly this personal project I'd been holding so closely for years would also belong to others. I had no idea what the reaction would be.
But over the last year, you totally overwhelmed us with your kindness. You sent emails (which btw, always make our day), you left the nicest comments, posted amazing reviews on message boards, facebooked, tweeted, blogged. You bowled us right over with your generosity and support.
SO WE THINK IT'S TIME TO RETURN THE LOVE. :)
We haven't offered a discount code since we first launched our site last year. And this will be the ONLY one we offer this year. Ready?
Purchase a bag between now and September 15th and receive 15% off your entire purchase.
To receive discount at check out, enter code: BIRTHDAY
And there's more!!
WE'RE ALSO GIVING AWAY ANOTHER CANON 5D MARK II!!
HOW TO ENTER:
Purchase a bag between now and September 30th, and you will automatically be entered to win. This applies to all bags purchased with or without the discount code. Remember the discount code will expire at midnight CST on September 15th!
OR
Post a photo of you on your blog "Living Life The Way Your Picture It". Interpretation is up to you, but your photo must include all of the following elements:
1. "Happy Birthday Epiphanie" written somewhere.
2. Some kind of cake, cupcake, or confection plus one candle. Must be real, not digitally added.
3. An Epiphanie bag. This can be added digitally (NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO WIN).
NOTE: ALL ELEMENTS ("Happy Birthday Epiphanie", a REAL confection, and a real or digitally added Epiphanie bag) MUST BE IN THE SAME PHOTOGRAPH. In other words, we want to see your NEW, creative interpretations of this task, instead of assembling or cutting and pasting images that you already have. Photos where all elements are not IN THE SAME IMAGE will be disqualified.
Then:
1. Link to your post in the comments here (entry valid only when linked on this post).
2. "Follow" Epiphanie on Twitter, then tweet about this giveaway. Sample: Don’t miss this Canon Mark II giveaway @EpiphanieBags http://tinyurl.com/28xkrsy
3. Join Epiphanie on Facebook, then update your status with a link to this contest, including a tag to our Facebook page.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND US YOUR LINKS VIA EMAIL. THEY WILL BE DELETED. ONLY COMMENTS ON THIS POST WHICH MEET ALL THE STATED CRITERIA WILL QUALIFY FOR ENTRY. NOTE THAT IF YOU PURCHASED A BAG BETWEEN AUGUST 30TH AND SEPTEMBER 30TH, YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMMENT HERE. YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE INCLUDED AMONG ENTRIES.
What if I already "Follow" you on Twitter and/or "Like" Epiphanie on Facebook?
Then you already meet that particular criteria. But don't forget to tag us when you post to your link.
What if I purchase a bag or multiple bags AND complete the above requirements?
Then we love you very much :) , but each person can only be entered once.
What if I want a bag that is currently on back order?
Your discount will still apply as long as you purchase before midnight CST on September 15th. All bags (purchased with or without the code) will be automatically shipped to you as soon as it's back in stock.
The winner of the Canon 5D will be picked via random generator and announced on OCTOBER 1st!

Thanks so much for doing this. I know it's a slim chance but I had to enter. I'm dead dog broke and need the camera to further my small photography business. Took the photo today with my almost 100-year-old antique camera and my Canon Digital Rebel.

Happy birthday to you! Lucky for me, it's also my birthday, and your red Lola bag is what I wanted - just in time for this contest. I wish my birthday had been before September 15th, but I'll settle for some more birthday luck for this contest. Having that really nice camera would spruce up my picture-taking creativity and liven up my blog posts. Crossing my fingers...
Happy Birthday! I would love to win this camera since I am saving up for one, but even of I do not win, one of those bags are MINE! Maybe I can win the camera then use the money I've saved to buy a couple of bags! Yes. That is what needs to happen:)
