Ok I’m not a woman of many words *sheds tear* so I’m going to keep this brief!
Yesterday, while checking my stats on Google Analytics, I realised that I’d hit 200,000 page views since creating this blog.
Whurt. O_O
Now, I know that may not sound like a lot to some of you; hell, some of you probably get 200,000 views a month, but to me I feel so overwhelmed and grateful that you guys still continue to read my blog.
There have been so many occasions where I’ve wanted to delete the blog altogether (SO MANY) as I felt I somehow wasn’t good enough to write or “compete” – however throughout the last three years, I’ve learnt what works and what doesn’t work and I’ve met some amazing bloggers, so I just wanted to say a MAHOOOSIVE thank you to all of you that have stayed with me!
In lieu of this recent milestone, I thought it appropriate to hold a giveaway. I’ve been wanting to hold a give-away of this sort for the longest time so I’ve been saving for a couple of months to get it.
Soooooo I will be giving away….wait for it..
A Fujifilm FinePix S4530 Bridge Camera?
What’s a bridge camera?
A bridge camera is a camera that is a cross between a point-and-shoot digital camera and a DSLR camera and usually have amazing zoom range which makes it ideal for photographers/bloggers/paparazzi(?!) LOL.
Anyhoo, this giveaway will run until the 7th of October at 00:00 where I will pick a winner at random.
Unfortunately, this giveaway is open to UK entrants only. My next one shall be international though!

If i were to win this camera than i would no longer need to use my phone (bb torch) and use up all of my memory! everyone tells me to buy a camera (because i love taking pics) but i am ever so confused as to which one to get, This one seems PERFECT <3
Congratulations! An amazing giveaway xxx
Contrats on such a great blogging achievement, this is definitley one of the best giveaways I've seen! I've got my fingers crossed! 🙂 xx
I forgot to mention I'd love to win the camara because I use my iPhone to take pictures at the moment and would love to have some better quality photos. xx

I would love to win this camera as I currently don't have one and use my terrible cell phone camera for all my photos! 🙁
LOL LOVE the Hunger Games reference!
Congratulations on hitting 200,000 views!! You deserve it 😀

Congratulations on the 200,000 pageviews – that is an amazing achievement.
I would love to win this camera as I would like to significantly improve the quality of my blog pictures, and I have lots of exciting adventures in the pipeline over the next few months, which I want to share with all in the blogging community :).
I would love to win as I have an interest in photography but not the funds to pursue it. Winning this camera would give me the chance to do that 🙂

I've only got an iPhone and the pics, although they're pretty good, aren't as good as they would be this piece of kit! 🙂
Hunger games! I would love a camera because at the moment for my blogging photos I have to use my Dads camera and it annoys him that i've always got it, so I would love one of my own one but can't afford one 🙁 Thanks for an amazing giveaway!!xx
I think I should win because I am struggling to get good picture quality with my iphone camera.a new camera is on my wish list and Christmas list but the chances of getting one as I have two small children who come first on the present lists are slim.would make me do happy to win a camera of such good quality.thanks
Wow fabulous giveaway! Congratulations on hitting 200,000 views! Found your blog via The Sunday Girl and it's fabulous. I'd love to win the camera because I have an interest in photography and i've actually got a wishlist of cameras i'd like to purchase. I've currently got a DSLR but it's a bit hefty for carrying around so i'm currently looking in to bridge cameras for the likes of blogging 😀
Thank you!

I used to have an older version of this camera, they're really good! Unfortunately it died after manyyyy years of use, and I don't have my own camera anymore! 🙁 But this is such a generous giveaway! 🙂

Congrats on your achievement babes,your blog is amazing. Please enter me in ur giveaway,I would love to win because I love photography and would love to take better pics for my blog and been finding it hard to get hold of a good camera.
I'd love to win this camera as I have just started blogging, and although I was happy with my normal digital camera at first I am now struggling with things like swatch photos. I saw this on Buyapowa the other day but didn't get it because I didn't know whether a bridge camera is worth it, but from what you say it'd be perfect for me!

I would love to win simply because I dont own a digital camera. I just use my phone camera which does not give the best quality photos
I would love to be able to take better, sharper and more focussed photos. Especially of my son and the new baby that's on the way. A good camera like this is my dream, but I cant justify the expense at the moment. Congratulations on the HUGE number of page views and fingers crossed x
this is such an amazing giveaway! i want to restart my youtube channel again but since my camera has now broken this would be awesome 🙂
I've just started and need a better camera than my iPhone!

I'd love to win this because we desperately need a decent camera to capture the special moments with my (nearly) 2 year old son! At the moment we only have photographs taken with our mobile phones! This means they're not good enough for a canvas or anything and I'd love to have a nice decent quality canvas of my son.

I havent been blogging for very long and this high quality camera will give my blog the boost it needs. Im on a really tight budget being a student and a good blog depends on beautiful photos and I just love photography too 🙂
Love this giveaway and Congratulations on all those page views!

I'd love to win the camera because after my camera broke I've been making sue with my cellphone. However it can't possibly get everything I want to capture. I'm in need of a camera… a companion of sorts to take along with me on my travels from coast to coast and that will keep me company during my everyday routine to help me capture memories and anything beautiful I see along the way.
I would love to win as my Mother in Law is still using an old film camera and I'd love to win this for her!

I'd love to win a camera because I don't have one! I used to have an old one which got lost at some point, so I'd love to have a new one! Myf x

am always taking photos but normally on my phone so would be great to have a camera
I would love to own a camera because I love photography and Iam desperately trying to save up for a DSLR and this would be great for me…
Hello!!!
I would love love love to win this camera, as I've just started my own blog and really want to start taking some fab pictures to share.
I think that an awesome camera like this would really inspire me to get out there and get going. Congrats to you and thanks for running. x
I am commenting again as it doesn't appear to have worked, but sorry if you get this twice!!
I would love to win the camera as I've just started my own blog and would love to start sharing more photos. I think that a brilliant camera like this would really inspire me to get out there and start snapping. Congrats to you and thanks for running this! x
This has to be one of the most amazing blog giveaways I've ever seen! Congratulations on hitting your milestone.
I'd love a new camera because I'm working on an ancient point and shoot compact that loses any detail when you try and zoom and generally can't take a decent pic to save its life!
Such a great giveaway, looks like a fantastic camera!!
I would love to win this camera so I can take some awesome pictures of my family xxx
thanks for the giveaway omg! :D:D
i really love taking photos, so a camera would be sooooo goood! 😀
would love a new pro camera seeing as i use a digital!
* Hunger games reference * – (yay for virtual cookies!)
This is a fantastic giveaway. Honestly, the best I have seen. I would LOVE to win this camera, I'm currently using my mums for my photography on my blog. Its pretty good really, little with 9 mega pixels or so. But I have to give it back soon, as im away at university. Which leads me onto my next point, university. This camera would be so MINDBLOWINGLY useful for university. I study fashion brand management so we have to do loads of photoshoots, which is great. But I always have to sign up and wait to use a university camera, which takes ages. :/ This would enable me to make my work totally my own, personal.
Wow sorry this comment is so long! I suppose I can hope that now I have put all that out there the gods of fate are reading and will say ''hey, her number should come out of the raffle''.
Lovely blog by the way, I'm a new follower!
Hope your having a great weekend!
I'd love to win this awesome camera because my old one is broken…and I love taking photos!:)

Lovely giveaway. I'd love to win a camera because I love taking photos and my camera broke over 6 months ago and now have to resort to using my crappy camera on my phone grr xoxo
i took my little point and shoot camera off to the festivals with me this summer and i think it's on its last legs… i can feel it slowly giving in! so it's only a matter of weeks before i'll have to replace it! xo
I'd love to win as my camera is quite rubbish if I'm honest, so this would be a lifesaver when snapping for blog posts! xx

Congrats on all the hits on your blog, what a milestone!
I'd love to win this camera as I've had the same point and shoot camera for years as I can't afford to buy a nice camera without knowing how to use it.

Just tumbled here from twitter! love it, =] x
