Need a new Camera Bag? Jo Totes {Giveaway}

I have always loved photography, from the first grown-up camera I ever got (a Pentax K1000 my freshman year in college for my photography class) to my last purchase of a Canon T3i…and all the cameras in between.  I love taking pictures, but I also love bags and purses.  So when I first saw the Jo Totes camera bags, I was smitten. 
Jo Totes was kind enough to recently send me a Gracie Bag to try out.  I chose Mustard because I have had this recent obsession with yellow recently.  It came last week and it's perfect!
It is lovely…spacious, without being cumbersome.  It is perfect to carry my camera and other school items, or even to use as my purse!  I love the shoulder strap…and the padded inserts to protect my camera.
 I bought the Teal Rose last year and have used it faithfully to take my camera back and forth to school. The best thing about it?  It is stylish AND large enough to also hold my lunch and the million other things I cram into my school bag!
Here are a couple of pictures of my Teal Rose Bag I shared last year:
I am so excited that Jo Totes has graciously offered a $75 Gift Certificate to one of my readers!
It is easy to enter and I promise if you try out a Jo Totes Camera Bag, you will LOVE it!

    I won one of these a little while back. I picked the turqoise one like your yellow one. I carry it to work every day like a purse with all of my extra stuff in it. I love it. Good luck to whoever wins a chance to get one.

    Oh I've been seeing these around the blogosphere for a while now and am really wanting a Georgia style! The herringbone pattern is a gorgeous bag! I really hope I win this, as I have a Canon Rebel I've been wanting to take with me out and about more!

    I really need to get one of these bags! I love how everyone says they can fit so much more in them--perfect for a teacher! I love the Georgia Nautical, or that same style in the black with herringbone pattern. But the Missy is fun too! ...maybe this is why I don't have one yet?! I just can't decide which one I like best!

    I love the rose pewter and the moss color the best! Pewter just in case my husband had to carry my bag and moss because I have the perfect pair of shoes to match it. :) Great giveaway!

    I personally like the teal color. However, if I won this giveway I would give to one of my good friends who is an wedding photographer. Her favorite color is pink so rose coral would be the best for her. :)

    I am obsessed with yellow, teal and gray recently. This bag is so pretty and it would hold all of my teaching and mommy stuff that often gets thrown in the same place, because I hate having to carry more than one bag. Please pick me. Thank you!
