I must admit, when I signed up for this exchange, I wasn't sure what I was going to send, let alone what I would be receiving. I anticipated photography books or some photos or something, but I got something MUCH more practical and I LOVE IT!

My gift arrived in two parts. First, I received the main package from Amazon. It contained a new camera bag/backpack! This was something I had set aside in my wishlist for a future purchase, once the time came that I had another lens or two. My old case worked, it was just a little bit of a tight fit for everything.

As I loaded up stuff into this new bag, I came to a realization. My husband and I are working on building up our registered cattle business, and with that comes a LOT of photo taking for ads. Which means I've been lugging my camera into the fields a lot lately. While I had gotten myself some better cleaning tools, a bag never crossed my mind. But a backpack is PERFECT!!! This will make carrying my stuff out on the farm SO much easier!

The second part were two adorable tags, one of which I immediately put on my new case.

Thanks Santa! I love it!
