ted and i own two polaroid cameras.
both were purchased at our favorite goodwill.
sometimes we like to take our polas with us out on "polaroid dates"
the dates include us taking way too many pictures, and then when we get home we tack them to the photo wall. love it.
sunday afternoons are perfect for pola dates. we get to be creative together.
once i scan the polas, i will put them up here...in the mean time, here are the images from our wonderful little canon powershot.

me wearing the "allison". it's my favorite of the headbands. it goes with so many outfits, and can be worn two different ways. now that i have bangs, it looks best this way...
tedward, adjusting the settings on the "spectra" polaroid. the spectra is cool because it takes a square shaped film, as opposed to the regular rectangular one.
this is my pola camera...her name is "phoebe".

Does Ted like to take pictures too? Are any of his on your blog? I'm confused as to what pictures were taken by whom....
I love that necklace. When I saw it the other day I wondered if it was new, or if there were other pics on here of you wearing it. It doesn't really matter....you still look awesome in it.
Oh and that necklace is cute. Does it work if you're not married? How sad. It could be like a "Carrie" necklace, I guess.
I would love a Scott and Ivy necklace. too cute!
Going to her shop now to check them out.
Thanks for having the giveaway.
Cheers~Ivy
This is a BEAUTIFUL necklace. Lisa is very talented- I love the simplicity.. it's perfect.
That is a cute necklace, Lauren :) I think you should get Gizmo's name engraved on your next one! Hope he's loving his forever home!
I feel these necklaces are beautiful. I've seen them a few times on different sites. I'd love one, just for the cute 'xo' on the back... because I'm not married nor engaged or anything and I wouldn't just want my name. Haha, maybe I'd get one that says 'books'!!!
Your bangs look adorable in that first pic... how cute are these necklaces!! awww your boots look like mine.. i love wearing them in AZ when its chilly, people think its dumb cause it hot here, but only sometimes! Dontcha hate that?
Love the necklace!! I'd want one with my name thing, like yours and teds.
That necklace is ABSOLUTELY darling. and I really like the new bangs, you rock 'em!
I loved your outfit with your Uggs I am always so scared to wear mine with black! Now Ive seen you do it I know it looks okay!!
I saw another giveaway for a Lisa Leonard Necklace on a craft blog that I follow... sadly, didn't win that one. maybe this will be my lucky time!
I LOVE polaroid pictures!! I had a tasmanian devil one once. It was pretty legit. :)
Yellow and gray make me smile, I love your cardi :)
Those necklaces are too cute!
Um. I think this post is the definition of awesomespice. Let's see...
Poloroids... awesomespice.
Naming your polo Phoebe... awesomespice.
How adoreable you are in virtually every picture... awesomespice.
The necklace... awesomespice.
How adoreable you and your man are together... awesomespice.
The fact that your man enjoy phototaking as much as you do... completely rare and ultra awesomespice.
Oh my goodness that is the cutest necklace!
The Allison looks so cute with your new fringe. I adore the little green rock heart. adore it.
You have been giving away so many beautiful things lately! This one is just gorgeous. I'm pretty sure even if I don't win this I'll buy one!
:)
Polaroid dates, that has to be the cutest most awesome thing I have ever heard. I also love your bangs, I really wish I could pull them off. Love the necklace too.
I love her necklaces!!! No lie!
ps Yay for Polaroid day! You two have such cute dates!!! =]
Very cute headband! One day I'll dare and try to wear one.
This necklace is truly amazing!
oh i so need one to say brett and em!
Ooh.. Cuute! I want! Consider me "commented"!
I miss my polaroid.. I think my church has it still for some reason from our Mexico trips. sad.
that necklace is superrr adorablee!!! when you were wearing it in the picture the other day i was like, "where did she get such an ADORABLE necklace???" literally, just like that, =)
ps polaroid cameras are so classic. i have an old one (like really old) underneath my bed. my younger brother got it for me at a yard sale. i don't even know if it works. i should clean it up and see...
All I have to do is comment? Easy!
I love your bangs. Love. When you & Ted come to NYC, you'll have to teach me the art of Polariods, mine always look hella lame.
I really wish I had a cool polaroid camera still. The pictures from them look so cool! I love the necklace too!
maybe i will have the golden ticket this time?
*gasp*
I love Love LOVE that necklace. And I know for a fact I would wear it everyday and love it more and more each time!
love it. i want one with my daughter's name!
I would love to win that! So cute!!
How did you know I was coveting your necklace? Thanks for giving me the opportunity to win one!
xo
Ummm....want....please....thanks :)
It would be fun to have my 3 boys' names on a necklace like that...
that necklace is darling!
All the pictures turned out great! (Like always!) The necklace is super cute!
ahhh, I am totally in love with your necklace.
polariods are the best. i just hate how expensive film is. i take way less pictures than i probably should with my polariod just because i don't want to spend a fortune on the film.
The necklace is awesome! Its so simple yet elegant at the same time...
and now im headed to Goodwill in hopes of finding a pola
your pictures are sooo cute! i am so in loved with these necklaces.
LOVE the necklace and totally lusting after one now!
Your pictures are adorable. How great is it that Ted is taking pictures with you. What a guy.
Love the necklace. No surprise, I love all Lisa's stuff.
I love the necklace and pretty much everything about your photos. :) Good job!
so happy to see a spectra here! I love my different polaroid camera's, too. My most used one is the 600, but i love my Joycam.
Sweet necklace! Good luck to me! :)
I'd love one of those necklaces! So adorable!
I Love the photo Sunday idea!!!! And I love the necklace too!!
I noticed the neck-lace a few days ago and loved it. obviously.
XOX
I love the necklace. And your pictures. And I am definitely jealous that you found 2 polaroid cameras at the goodwill store. Mine never seems to have such treasures. But I'll keep hunting. :)
great pics, I love reading about your adventures! and you always have the best giveaways.
btw love your new fringe!
I noticed that necklace before! Love it.
Also, just finished Hunger Games and Catching Fire... I'm basically dying... the suspense is killing me!
Thanks for recommending them! :)

Ahhh! I was so excited to see this post! Polaroids are so much fun :)
I have one, and it is one of my bestest friends.
I absolutely LOVE that necklace by the way. I would get it to say, "Amy and Nephi". After all, we're gonna be husband and wife this year!! :D
I always love the style of your photographs, Lauren! Lovely, as usual.
And I really like the necklace, so instead of just thinking how much I like the photos, I'll leave this fairly lame comment. ;)
I think you should take more pictures of yourself.
I so was going to get some of her stuff for when my twins were born.. I should still actually.
Maybe I will just win this..
I think that is best!
love your photos, they've got a great feel to them. this is my first visit to your blog, love it so far. cheers :)
Super cute polas! Loves it!
That necklace is adorable!
ooh ooh! me please! i've been dying for a lisa leonard design. love her stuff!
Love that headband too cute. I need one of those necklaces! Like bad.
I LOVE this necklace (along with all of Lisa's other items) and definitely noticed it around your pretty neck the other day. I want it! :)
I wish I could take as creative and cute pictures are you and Ted do...so jealous.
and I LOVE the necklace...if I don't win I might have to make my matthew buy me one...
I've checked your last couple of posts on my small laptop and today was the first time I got to see "the fringe" and your face all in one shot. So cute, if I wasn't chicken, I want to follow.
Love that necklace, even if I don't win I might order one! (Or tell my husband to since the anniversary is soon)
i would love one of these.
mine would say "bring back love"
since i am a single woman and all.
I love your bangs! [:
cute pics! i love the necklace *crossing my fingers* ihopeiwinihopeiwinihopeiwin
That's awesome you both have Polaroid cameras. Do you have a hard time finding film for them?
And ever since I saw your necklace, I've been completely coveting it. Well, minus the "ted and lauren." No offense, but it would just be weird. Right? So sign me up!
Love it! Want one!
TWO polaroid cameras from a thrift shop? I always love the stuff you find there, but I have absolutely no patience when it comes to thrift stores.
And love the necklace, I was absolutely in awe of it when I first saw it a few posts ago!
Your necklace is adorable, Lauren! Leaving a comment in hopes that maybe one time (in my entire life) I might just win something :)
Dunno what I'd have engraved into it, though. Maybe something like, "Mia's Mama". Eh... Here's hopin'
really cute!
Love the pictures! So fun!
Put my name in for the give away! I LOVE that necklace!
Super cute necklace! You are such a talented photographer! :)
Pick me! I Lisa's work!!!
Love your new bangs! I'm a big believer in hiding your forehead. You know, just in case.
Anyway. Sucks you're off of FB. Sadface. I would like that necklace though, because it would be cute to wear in my engagement photos.
YES I GOT ENGAGED. Do I want to fly you to Indiana for you to take our engagement photos? Yes. Can I? Hecks no. It's fun to pretend though.
love it! You must be getting very popular to be doing all these lovely give away's! How exciting.
If Emily wins and I don't, I will cry. Just kidding, I really like these!
I love tedauren photoshoots. They are always adorable. And I love that necklace.

Any chance your camera is named after Pheobe Buffet of Friends?!
I love that necklace - its the perfect little touch to any outfit.
Ummm...I would like/love/appreciate the necklace. Sooo cute. Those polaroids, too, are very jealousy-worthy.

The necklace is super cute!! I adore it!! Not gonna lie, I really hope I'm the lucky winner!! :)

OH Lauren I am a stranger stalker, but I noticed your hecklace before and fell in love. Being as I am a poor poor college students wife I would love to win one for free. I am due for some good karma too.
You two are adorable! And I would love the necklace :)
I love these style of necklaces...but I have no idea what I'd put on one...yeep!!

~amanda
Oooh! Pick me. Pick me.

Pick me! It's a super cute necklace. Although I have no idea what I would put on it...I'll have to think of something!
Love the picture with the polaroid snapshot & necklace! Very cool. I hope I win!
How do you edit your photos to look that way? I love the filter/color!
Adorable necklace! Love the little pearl detail.
i LOVE the xo heart necklace!! i want one!! : D
Lisa - I'm not the best at explaining my editing techniques, because I am kinda stupid with photoshop. I created an action that i use for most of my blog photos, that pretty much lowers the amount of blue tones, and ups the yellow content. Also, I added a grainy texture.
As soon as I saw your necklace i knew it was a LL. It's darling and so are you.
I would love to have a personalized necklace like that!
So SO SO CUTE!
(Crossing my fingers!)
The necklace is gorgeous! And I love your new bangs!!
Lauren! I loved that necklace from the moment I saw it. I hope I win : )
I love your bangs.. It suits you!!!
i love the polaroid pics too..
And most of all I love the necklace and how it is personalized.. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that I win it.. :)
Love it... and your blog!

I found your blog thru another girl's blog just a few weeks ago. I love reading your blog. I have to check it everyday!!! And I printed the recipe for the honey enchiladas, mmmm they sound soo good! Can't wait til I make them. And very cute necklace! I'll be ordering one if I am not the lucky winner! :)
If I don't win this, I'm buying one. But I'd much prefer to win. So pick me. kthx.

I havent ever commented on your blog, but this giveaway was a nice excuse to. I wanted to tell you that your blog is simply a fresh of breath air for me. You and 'tedward' are darling. i love the lingo, and have adopted some of it into my own awesomespice vocabulary. youre a great photographer. your headbands are some of the cutest of its kind. and, fyi, we have the same imitation uggs, which means we both have great style. :) I hope I win the giveaway prize. The necklace you have is so cute. Did you wait for your tedward while he served a mission? anyway, have a fantabulous day! ~Alex

I LOVE the headband it is so cute. And your bangs are...bangin :) I got bangs last summer and I'm super happy with them. The swoopy kind though...I had regular ones my whole life growing up and w/ my supah curly hair it was badness.
So I'm reading your archived blogs because I ttly <3 you :) and I think we should be best friends. I wore almost the exact same outfit to school pictures in Kindergarten, I too had a purple Beauty and the Beast Thermos lunchbox, and...oh now I can't remember because I was up till like 2am reading :)
Loved reading as you were so upset about TomStu not getting the part of Edward but then fell madly in love with RPattz. He is quite makey outey isn't he.
OK I think that's long enough. Know you are awesomespice and totally loved by random-ass strangers halfway across the country :)
