hi, my name is mariana…
hi, my name is mariana and i’m an instagram addict [and i have a giveaway].
my excuse? i’ve not got the best of memories, so, the ability to capture moments with my iPhone and record them, right then, right there, in the moment is brilliant! an instant flickr. i started instagramming 45 weeks ago
[to be exact] but it started running through my veins about 19 weeks ago. i’m capturing anything and everything, as you do. urban, kitchen, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, corners of our home, my kids, our pets, the studio, objects, abstract, new purchases etc!
a few weeks ago i started on a bit of a series. ‘insert drink of choice here’ | ‘insert shoe style here’ | ‘insert favourite object here’. for me, it’s more often than not, coffee | camper | ‘insert fave object here’. it then developed into a different pair of shoes for every shot. always coffee though, a soy latté. i usually take these shots in the morning, otherwise it would be an espresso martini.
a select few images from the series below. charley [girl] often made a surprise appearance, she loves sitting in between or very near our feet!
all that to say i have a giveaway and i was thinking i’d love to see your drink of choice | your shoes | your fave object pretty please! you can then post your image[s] on my facebook page here or if you follow me on instagram, m2matiz, you can tag your image @m2matiz, that way i’ll get notified and see your image. enter as many images as you like. the more you enter the greater your chance of winning! extra points if your pet makes a surprise appearance!
all images entered will be judged by the most elite of judges… my family! the four of us will give each image a score out of 10. the image with the most points, wins. the winner will receive a t.lighthaus©, gift card and a set of 8 x gift tags [all valued at $41.00] with your choice of image from my catalogue here. an example seen below.
anyone of you can enter, no matter which corner of this earth you reside. i ship internationally. :)
the winner will be drawn on monday 25 june.
i really would love to see your drink of choice, your gorgeous shoes and your fave object[s].

Hello Mariana
I’ll type my very belated thankyou again because I have no idea what happened to the original. I’m very grateful for the win – and so ridiculously excited!
Its very hard to choose an image (the reason, I believe, I’ve never bought anything because I couldn’t decide) but I’m going with “she was different”
Thank you again – it was fun.
