Happy Friday, TomKat readers! It's Toni here, to bring you our latest and greatest Fabulous Giveaway! I am super excited about this one! I personally found out about Jo Totes several months ago, before I worked for TomKat Studio. I immediately added one to my Birthday Wishlist. Thanks to my wonderful family, this wish was granted! I LOVE my bag! The fabulous thing about these totes is that they are CAMERA bags! Have you ever seen such a fashionable camera bag? Not likely! The padded interior can be compartmentalized to hold your camera and lenses, as well as other items you normally carry in your purse! Perfect!


I knew Kim would LOVE these bags after she mentioned that she always throws her beloved Canon DSLR in her regular purse with no protection! I talked with Jo Totes and they were thrilled to send Kim a sample bag and sponsor a giveaway for you, our lucky readers!
