So what does Mingle have to do with me … well I’m so excited to tell you!
Last September I attended “Finding Stillness|2015” with Kim Klassen and 9 other photographers in her brand new space in Rivers, Manitoba, Canada.
“The Studio” is a light-filled photographer’s dream, full of lovingly gathered teacups, books, pillows, throws, baskets, tables, chairs, and other vintage items too numerous to mention. It’s completely magical.
The retreat focused on styling, shooting, and editing still lifes. But there was so much more to it. Meeting people who “get” you, who understand why you would stand on a step-ladder, teetering over a collection of various objects, taking dozens of photos, and discussing shutter speed, ISO, focal points, etc. is not something many of us experience on a day-to-day basis. It was amazing.
And then, two of the participants, Gigi Thibodeau of The Magpie’s Fancy and Diana Foster of the Studio 56 decided to put together a submission to Mingle Magazine about the retreat, and drumroll please … it was accepted!
So, if you’d like to win a copy of this beautiful publication and read about our retreat, just leave a comment … that’s it, that’s all!
A winner will be chosen on May 8th (Mother’s Day.)
Contest open world-wide!
Many thanks to Stampington & Company for providing me with this copy of Mingle!
PS … that is not my photo on the cover :)
Comments closed … we have a winner!
How awesome! Congratulations. I so wish I could go to Kim’s for a gathering. :) someday…

How awesome to be included in the magazine! Stampingtion publications are works of art.
I’m so happy it was accepted so the world can see! I can’t wait to read it. Even if I don’t win. I will be sure to go get a copy. I adore Kim, I took a course of hers around 4 years back on photoshop then I signed up for finding stillness…..and dropped the ball. I only watched week one and then…well life got the best of me. She is a really great teacher.
Thank you so much for the chance to win a copy! Always love your photos, Barb!! :)

Finding Stillness with the fab Kim Klassen was such a powerful gathering. Honored to have had that experience. Always love coming to visit you!
I would love to read about Finding Stillness–it is probably as close as I will ever get to attending :(
Thank you Barb for the chance you offer us to win a copy of Mingle magazine… It’s fantastic that Kim’s retreat in her new brand studio has been reported in this magazine, I’d love to read the article and see the pictures!… unfortunately, we can’t find Stampington publications in France!
And thank you for sharing your wonderful pictures, your inspirations and crafting and baking ideas… a visit to your blog is always a delight!
I have the magazine and it is a beautiful issue. Wonderful article about “Finding Stillness”. I enjoyed it and congrats to all of you.
New to blogging. New to your blog. Appreciate all the tips and lessons. Hoping to continue growing. Mingle looks like a wonderful magazine with interests similar to mine ~ and a lot of other gals. Stillness? Seems like a far away dream.
Just got your newsletter , had to get over here and say Congratulations for you all being featured in Mingle . I would love to see the article , I didn’t know of this magazine.
Your trip to Kim’s Studio sounds magical :)
I would love to have an issue of this magazine! Looking at your photography is always like a retreat, a wonderful peaceful oasis away from the workaday world.
How lovely. I have not seen that magazine yet Barb.. So nice of you to offer a give away. I enjoy your blog post each time it hits my mailbox.
Oh my goodness, I’d love to be the lucky winner. I’ve never bought a Mingle magazine because I can never seem to find it in my small town East Texas area. I’m sure it’s full of inspiration blogging ideas and beautiful photography. Thanks for the opportunity, Barb!
I would LOVE to win this edition of Mingle! And, perhaps one day, attend one of Kim’s retreats. :)
How exciting, congratulations. Sigh…wish I could attend a retreat.
I love this magazine, along with all of Stampington’s editions. I would love to win!

I am new to blogging at 62 years young. I have a lot to learn and am so happy to have found your site. I would so love a retreat. The magazine looks wonderful, but is unavailable on my little island of St. Croix.
Barb, it’s really exciting to see how one inspiring step leads to another. Congratulations! :)
