Have fun and good luck!
I nominate my boss. She is the head school nurse where I work. She has such compassion and understaning of the teens we see on a daily basis. She is truly gifted in what she was called to do!
My daughter’s kindergarten teacher would be a wonderful candidate for this prize…she takes lots of photos of the kids and likes to make memory boards and projects with them using her own money, and this printer would give her something that she could use everyday without having to buy it herself. Patti O’Brien is a fantastic teacher!
I nominate my sister Kandy. She is such a giving person. When any friend or family is down and out she is there to take care of them. When her friend found out she had cancer she went to Dr. appts with her, at the end she was there to hold her hand as she took her last breath. Her best friend had to have surgery, she was there to spend the night when she needed her. Our aunt found out she had cancer, she didn’t have childrent who lived close. My sister was there to take her to every Dr. appt., hold her hand during the entire illness. When she wanted to be home for the end, she was there to take care of her and try to help her work through the pain. The list can go on and on. She is always putting others 1st.
She loves scrapbooking, unfortunately does not have as much time to spend on it as she would like. Of course her goal right now is to place the family pictures left from our parents into albums for my brother and myself.
I would like to nominate my friend Chris. She is the most creative and artistic person I know. She borrowed and cleaned out an old store last summer and gave quilting classes there for free- just because she loves it so much. She does all kinds of creative stuff like hand-dying fabrics, painting, home decor, etc. Lately she’s been picking up a few college classes to finish her degree and get her teaching certificate. She has three kids at home and not a lot of spare change. I’d like to see her get this printer not just to help her scrapbook all her kids’ accomplishments, but her own as well. It would also be great for creating quilting templates and paper-piecing patterns. I know Chris could put this to good use.
I would like to nominate my fiance, Michael, for his workplace. He’s a test supervisor for an electronics company, and all their equipment should be extinct.
my wife
I nominate my mom, bless her heart, she has the hardest time with the computer and all the “new fangled technology” She tries so hard to work it but if it is the least complicated it never gets used. This looks very user friendly and mom trainable. Thank you
Love the printer.
It would make a wonderful B-day gift for my 41st b-day May 28
God Bless
Good Luck to all
i nominate my sister she has a family/works and makes sure our elderly aunt is ok plus her son is stationed in iraq and expectinga baby any day how she does it all is beyond me
I nominate my daughternlaw.Just because she is one great mom.
I nominate my mom, janet . she is very much into scrapbooking and uses scrapbooking to make our educational message for the amercian cancer society relay for life. we have placed many times for our wonderful presentation due to her hard work. I know that she could do wonderful things with the Kodak Easy Share 5300
I nominate my grandaughter, Hannah, a rising sophomore in college, for giving up her summer vacation to go to New Orleans to help build the homes of hurricane Katrina victims.
I would love to win this for my mom. She is constantly printing and she’s taking lots of time making scrapbooks for all of us kids, which I appreciate!
i am on the anne-marie cancer fund, inc. committee. we as non-paid volunteers raise donations of money and give it to victims suffering with cancer and needing financial help. as in gas to go to treatments, co-pays, housekeeping, etc. my friend and committe member makes the most beautiful and well made full size quilts and donates them to the fund for raffle. she takes pictures to use on the posters. her name is marilyn and i nominate her.
I nominate my daughter, Davi.
I nominate my daughter Tamela she has a camer but she does have this. She has been real sick this would make her smile.
I nominate my husband. He’s an amateur photographer and his striking landscape pictures would make brilliant prints.
I nominate Janet Winski, my best friend….she is fabulous! She definitely deserves more than I could ever repay her for all the support she has shown to me as well as everyone that surrounds her.
I nominate me
THANK YOU GOD BLESS
I want to nominate my mother. When I got pregnant at 16 she was nothing but helpful and loving and helped me graduate from high school a year early. I’m 24 now and have a sweet 7 year old daughter who is such a blessing. I have my mother to thank for where I am now. She is just such a good mommy!
WE NEED A PRINTER
I nominate Amber Lockhart for the Kodak Printer. She’s an avid advanced photographer with most of her subjects being her family members, i.e. her small children. She has learned a lot about photography and really needs a good printer. She has a small 4×6 printer which is ok, but this new Kodak Printer/scanner would be ideal. I understand that ink is a lot less expensive on the Kodak printer and this would fit with her young family finances.
Thanks
this is really cool. my wife could really use this to start her business!
I nominate my good friend Jeff as he has a part time home based business and could use an upgrade to what he has
I nominate Melissa Garcia also known as the Consumer queen. She has a website where she helps people get stuff for free or almost free and the website is absolutely free! She also gives stuff that she gets to charities.
I will nominate my son. 3 years of college down, and he’s worked his butt off, placing in the top half of one percent in the nation! He really needs this equipment!
My printer just tanked!
I really have to nominate my mom, Jeane. We got back from a great vacation to Disneyland and had taken, literally 100’s of pictures. We met three different groups of friends there over four days. Oh, the memories!
So, she asks me when I would be putting all of these in a scrapbook. Right, mom. I have not even done the boy’s baby books yet. And I’m a school teacher. She took my pictures and has been working on the book for two months. I saw the first few layouts..oh, my gosh! She is going all out! She did mention that she took my pictures and ran them back throught her Kodak picture program to get the color, brightness, white (?), and contrast corrected. Did cropping, etc. What do I know?
Would anyone but your mom do this for you? Well, maybe it’s for her grandkids. But we all love her. This is just the kind of thing she would do for one of us.
She told me that the book is for my birthday. Yeah, it’s now officially my birthday WEEK. (Her invention..of course!) May 26th.
I would love to tell her that I won her a Kodak Easy Share 5300 printer as a Thank You for all she has done for me.
And thank you for letting me share this happy event!
I want to nominate my wife Daniela, who kept a scrapbook of the faimily. Married for 42 years her pictures date back to our young day and now our senior days. It is a book of memories- from the birth of our children to the later years of my mom and dad who she took care of. Prictures of fun things as well as sad. A life in New Orleans had many downs including several hurricans-which caused us to leave the city with my elderly parent.
My brother (Lance Moon) could use this while in college.
This would be neat if I could win it for my son Brice that is in his 3rd year of college. His cheap printer that I bought him a couple years ago died on him 2 weeks ago. We lost his dad to cancer when he was only 16 and it would be nice if something neat would be happen for him..Every one likes to win some thing some time or other. Just makes your day.
man this wold solve my printer problems
I want to nominate my husband who just returned from deployment in Kuwait. He learned some mad camera/printing skills while he was gone and this would be so great for him! Thank you so much!
I nominate my dad. He just lost his wife and he has been diagnosed with lung cancer. I would love to be able to send him pictures of his grand kids on a regular basis.
I would like to nominate my step-son who is a struggling single father of a 2 yr old little girl. He was a stay at home dad for the last two years which has left him with a very limited income. If that isn’t enough he recently started his own business and now struggling with the rising costs of supplies and of course now day. This would be a much appreciated surprise and hopefully help him out a little.
My disabled wife of more than 38 years would just love this printer. She LOVES to send out cards and our current printer doesn’t do the fine/delicate work that she likes. Thanks for this great contest!
I nominate my Aunt and Uncle. They’re running a small chiropractic clinic; they are not as wealthy as most of the chiropractors because they don’t charge people very much. They’re so hard-working, but some people just take advantages over them. I think a nice little printer will help their business, such as printing brochures or ads.
I would like to nominate my stepson. He is the ‘keeper’ of family photos from when my husband was married to his mother before her death. He supplies the family copies all the time and adds new photos of our blended families. He’s the best.
I nominate my husband who is always copying pictures for EVERYONE!! Neighbors, policemen, friends, PTO, church-you name it, he will copy stuff for them.
I’d like to nominate my niece, Rebecca. She’s loves to scrapbook and is also one of the most courageous people I know. She was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at age 20 and had to give up her dream of becoming a dancer – even though she had already completed 3 years toward her dance degree. She did go on to complete her BFA and adding a business minor and now she’s going for second degree in Accounting and Finance. She realized that your dreams don’t have to die – they just sometimes take a detour. All that before age 25, too!
Thanks,
I nominate my sister Melissa. She is always breaking out her camera and snapping photos. I would love for her to have this. She could take and print her photos within minutes. I love that it gives her joy.
I’d like to nominate my sister Janice. She is the mother of seven (the last two being 10 month old twins), yet she still finds time to scrapbook. Each child has their own scrapbook filled with memories. These book are her children’s favorite books! And yes, she even finds time to help me attempt scrapbooking too! She is an amazing woman and this printer would really speed up the process for her!
I would like to nominate my mother Penni. She is in her 60’s and is trying to teach herself how to use the computer. I know for most of us this sounds easy, but believe me, for some of the senior generation this is no easy task! My Mom is totally clueless when it comes to computers, but she is really giving it 125% and she is actually doing quite well. She is now emailing her “friends” and our family members who are scattered across the USA and she is learning to scan pictures and send them off to her friends. Each time something she tries to do on the computer works for her correctly, she gets so excited and I am very proud of her. My mom lives 1/2 hour away from me so I cannot just run over and help her when she is having a computer “crisis” which does happen all the time. Instead, I try and assist her over the phone and even though I can feel her frustration at times, she is a real trooper and does not give up until whatever issue she is having with the computer is resolved. I would absolutely love to reward her efforts with this fantastic Kodak Easyshare all-in-one printer. She does have a Kodak Digital Camera and with this printer she can learn to print her pictures from home and that would be awesome for her to learn how to do. Thank you so much for offering this great giveaway!
i nomanite my sister she is single with three kids trying to make it on one income and picture taking is one thing she does with the kids it would come in handy not having to pay for developing.
I would like to nominate my daughter Amy. She works and attends college part-time. Her job is at “Curves.” There are many older ladies that exercise every day. She always encourages and supports them as they try to remain active. They are always calling her or giving her little gifts to let her know how much they appreciate her.
Amy always has to wait to print her photos until she comes to visit me. I think she deserves to win this printer in thanks for her generosity and kindness.
I’d like to nominate my 18 year old neice. In her first year of college, she was sadly diaognosed with MS.
It took several months of testing to diagnose her, but at no time did she allow herself to get depressed. She never once complained . And it didn’t stop her or even slow her down. She works part time, kept her grades up, and still volunteers at her local animal shelter and never missed her regular visits to her grandmother who lives at a senior care center.
I only wish I had the strength she has.
And I know as a soon to be college sophmore, she can probably use a new printer.
And the nomination goes to my daughter and grandson who live upstairs and are printer-less! They would love this and you will make this boy happy he can copy his artwork!
His loving Gram
I nominate my Aunt Anne. She hasn’t always had it easy, and now that polaroid has stopped making film I’m know we will be bringing her into the digital age. A new all in one printer will help her get more comfortable with printing her own photos instead of having to have them developed.
I nomanite my son Steve
I would like to nominate my husband, Rod, for being a good dad to my two boys. For just being there for our family always and for being a simple man that he is…
