Hey sugarplums!

There’s a little something going on over at Minted (you know… the awesome stationary company) that I wanted to tell you about!

Minted is having a rad (and suuuuper easy to enter) photo contest!

It’s all about JOY!  Not me… that would be weird.. but JOY the emotion… big bursting smiles, laughter, bright eyes, happy times… you get the idea.

See, Minted is looking waaaay into the future and already planning for the holidays.  Weird.  I know.  But this photo contest has some pretty great prizes that will come in handy around the holidays: a super profesh photo session and dollars towards custom holiday stationary!

People have got all sorts of JOY surrounding them.  Just looking through the entries is a heartwarmer.

Want to see? It’ll make you smile… unless you’re a robot.

Shirtless brother JOY.

I suggest you share your own joy with Minted.

It’s super easy.

Here’s how you enter and what you might win.

I’m a guest judge.  Probably because my name is Joy.  That can’t just be a coincidence.

Just submitted two of my own photos. Joy lately has revolved around my baby girl she is the joy of my life! Which is appropriate as Joy is my middle name! That’s how I knew I’d love reading your blog Joy!

Thanks for the post! I submitted a photo that I think is PERFECT! I’ve also admired this photo for its capture of my sisters surprised face and now I can share it with other. Please check it out, maybe :0)

Gotta admit it’s smart of them to ask you as a judge, huh? What a cute contest though. I may just have to submit a photo!

Thank you! Your posts always give me a lift, but this one was like a refreshing fizz. And for once I’m not thinking about slinking over to the coffee shop for cookies :)

I hopped on your blog to find a good recipe to make for brunch. then saw this photo contest, so I started going through old photos on the computer & reminiscing. finally I entered a photo on FB, but then I decided to organize all my other photos by date on iphoto. so a few hours later, I’m getting ready to go to bed & realized I totally forgot to find a recipe for brunch. and usually it’s your food that distracts me! ;)
