I would LOVE to win this. Would give me even MORE of a reason why I HAVE TO come to Sanibel Island!!!!
I need this gift card! I am coming to Sanibel next week and I need some shelling gear!!! Please enter me :)
Love, love this! Any excuse to have to come back to Captiva and Sanibel would be loved!
OMG OMG OMG!
We are coming down for the third year in a row with a new baby so we are flying from Buffalo rather than driving. We have to travel light which means buying stuff when we get there.
Last year I was too pregnant to bend and shell like a champ. So this winter I have to make up for it! And we have to raise the kids right, you know?
Thanks for running the contest. Good shelling, all!
Amanda Crotty, Buffalo, NY
I would also love to win!!! I enjoy everything they offer
I love shelling!
Would love to be jet skiing around Captiva!
How fun!!! My sister is in the process of moving down to the area. What a welcome gift this would be!
Yay! Love YOLO and could really use some cool new shelling gear when I’m there in December!! Please enter me. Thanks!
Thats awesome …I would love to go parasailing or rent a wave runner
Even though I live right here is SW Florida, I can’t get out to the beach anywhere near as often as I would like to. The ILoveShelling website keeps me current on what is going on. Thank you, Pam, for taking the time to share your island paradise with the rest of us. It is very much appreciated.Oh, and I definitely want to be included in the drawing. :-)
YOLO!!! WOOHOO! I need a backhoe and lots of bags! Please enter me! Thank you!
Enter me please!!!!
Yay! Because YOLO!
Me! Me! Lol, Love to shell, love this site, love Sanibel-Captiva and I need to win so I can make another trip down there!! Thanks, Pam.. :)
Would love to win this! Wonderful place and wonderful review!
We rent from Yolo every year! We would use the gift card next summer for renting my daughter the stand up paddle board! She LOVES being out on the water! Thank you so much! See you all in May!
I could def put that certif to good use on Oct 7 when we arrive!! Shelling gear here I come!!
Oh Pam, as if you haven’t given us enough already with your stunning photos, beautiful stories of folks you meet, and conservation updates!! This giveaway is AMAZING!! I will be there in Feb and would love to be able to stock up at YOLO!!
I would to win this give card for my wife. We have been visiting the wonderful beaches for the last ten years. It’s always a joy to watch her shelling and making new discoveries. She has gotten my daughter interested in shelling. It’s always good to see them compare their findings.
I want to be included in the Yolo drawing because I LOVE shelling and I’ve been doing it my whole life and I REALLY needs a new mask. I watch all of your videos and every day I look to see your new blog about what you found. I’m currently in high school taking a Marine Science Honors class and I’m also a member of the Marine Biology Club at school because I love everything about the ocean. We recently did a beach clean-up at Clam Pass last weekend. We found a giant dead blue crab, a giant black seahorse, loads of Worm Shells and conchs, and a cute Gopher Turtle walking in the mangroves. I have almost every Florida shell and I plan to move to Sanibel after college. I’ve only been twice to Sanibel, but the ocean’s my life. I’ve lived on the beach my whole life and it’s where I spend my free time. The website I gave you is my moms and she’s a photographer who’s OBSESSED with the beach also. It would be amazing for me to win this contest because the ocean is my world and I enjoy all of its treasures. A new snorkel mask would be awesome to have to be able to explore all of the amazing sea creatures and to find beautiful shells that lie on the ocean floor.
i will be there first week of november would be nice to win.
We were thinking of learning how to paddle board.
Enter me in the drawing! I love shelling on Sanibel!
I can’t wait to go back to Sanibel and YOLO. This would be the icing on the Sanibel cake!
How do you enter the contest? I will be there in early December with two gals who have never been to Sanibel, we are planning a trip with Capt. Brian and this would be the perfect contest to enter.
Yup, enter me too! Love, Love, Love YOLO…have done parasailing and jet ski…would love to do paddle boarding and kayaking next visit…so yup, I’m in on this one!!
Thanx Pam!
Coming to Sanibel-Captiva in Nov. Sure could use this gift card to make my trip even more enjoyable
I retired in Dec of 2011 and my dream is to come to Sanibel and shell, shell and shell till I drop (or my back breaks, lol). I have a rather large shell collection but nothing like what you can find on the beaches of Sanibel and what a gift the $100 gift card from YOLO would be to buy all my shelling equipment.
Pleeeeeeeease enter me in this fabulous giveaway!!! We are coming down from New York on October 5th and it would be so much fun to pick up some great shelling gear from YOLO!
We are going to be in Sanibel with our kids in November and would love to win the gift card! Their first time, our many-ith time to visit! If we win I would love to use it to take them parasailing then relax the rest of the trip to shell, shell, then shell some more. Thanks!

My husband and I would love another reason to come back sooner to Sanibel/Captiva, we missed YOLO on the first visit, so it will be a must on the next visit. I love all they have to offer that was on their website. Thanks for the heads up.
Winning this gift certificate would give me a reason to come back to Sanibel. Ha, ha, just kidding – like I need a REASON to come back to Sanibel!!! Was there in April and I don’t think I’m going to be able to wait till next spring to come back again! Please enter me in the contest! Thanks!!
This gift card would come in super handy when we come down in February. Last year my shell net broke and I REALLY need a new one!
I enjoy your blog. I am a beachcomber-type sheller, but your blog is making me consider shelling in the water more often.
I definitely would need one of those lovely nets in your photograph.
Choose me PLEASE!!! I need new shelling shoes!
YOLO!!! I loved shopping this store while there on vacation. We just moved to the area and I am in desperate need of a mask and shelling gear. Please enter me in this fabulous giveaway! Thank you! Cheers!! :-)

Would like to be entered into this drawing. We were in Sanibel during the 1st week of September to celebrate a “big” birthday. The shelling was great!! We booked a parasailing adventure with YOLO and had a great time!! Love your blog – thanks very much!!
That would be a great win for me. I am bringing my sis-in-law for a week of shelling. She loved the shells that we have brought home the past three years so I decided to bring her for a week in March. There’s no better place to be with scoop in hand then the sea shores of Sanibel.
What wonderful, fun things I could get with a gift card that offers so many choices! Lots of stuff to use for that 3 months volunteering on Cayo Costa!!!
Thank you for offering a chance!!!

YOLO is a great store!! We’ve rented from them before and had a great time. Love Sanibel/Captiva- can’t wait to visit again.
Winning the gift card would give us an additional great reason (besides shelling) to come to Captiva/Sanibel for our first visit :)
We had the best time when we did their parasailing a couple of years ago. I’d love to win the gift card. I’m so looking forward to getting back down there.
Coming to Sanibel for the first time in Oct. Would love to win!
Oh… well, when I am down in December, and then again in January (my life falls apart if I am not in Sanibel/Captiva at least twice a year, and preferably around low tides…. I would get all kinds of cool shelling stuff… or flip flops… or…. oh my, I would put it to use!
Would love the gift card!!!!! My sister and I come down every year for shelling and could use some new gear.
Can’t wait to see you next week when my fiancee and I visit !!!! I will be getting some goodies from your store for my step daughter as YOLO is her favorite saying. We will then return to plan out our wedding on the island as it is our favorite place in the whole world …. YOLO !!!!!!!!!
Oh I’d love to win this. My husband and I are only able to visit Captiva every 5 years or so and we’re coming down for a few days this Oct 11th!
We live on Cape Cod MA and summer is over so getting out and playing on the water is always a priority. We’d love to rent some waverunners ………..or maybe one of those “scoot coups”.
Would love to win the gift card! Please enter me in the contest. Sainbel is my absolute favorite place to vacation for my BFF and me. We visit it at least once a year and will be heading there in December. We can always use some new shelling supplies.

Ana from Miami
Looks like a neat shop for beachy stuff. Never win things, but will try again. Thanks, Pam. Will look for you on the beach middle of Oct. Would love to just meet you in person – feel as if I know you from reading your postis.
Oh what a great-looking shop!!!! Me & my fiance are getting married on Sanibel in February & this would be a great way for us to celebrate!! We met almost 30 years ago & dated, then lost touch after he went in to the service. We rekindled our relationship a few years ago & are making up for lost time. He is truly my soul mate!! Our first trip to the island was back in Jan., and we couldn’t think of any where more perfect than on the island!!
will be there in 27 days (yes, have been counting the days) with 2 of my sisters. winning this would be a great start to vacation!!!!!
a $100 would be a real treat to spend on shelling equipment! Good Luck to all!
thanks Pam for sharing this info
Would love to win this! Sanibel here I come. :-)
Me me me! Pick me!
I would absolutely love to be entered. Just think of all the new shelling equipment possibilities!
I (46 & out of shape) went parasailing (for the first time ever) at YOLO Captiva with my 14 yr old daughter in early June of this year & had the BEST time! Professional & friendly staff both on & off the boat….totally worth the cost!
Just in time for our late fall trip!
Will be there this coming Friday, sure would love to be a winner! I have never been to your store, but will visit this coming week. I WANT TO BE A WINNER!
Woo-Hoo!! Enter me in the drawing as well!! That $100 would go a long way in filling our shelling supply needs in just 3 weeks!!!
I AM holding onto my conchs, and hoping my YOLOs hold out ’til I win! ( I have no idea what this means :D!)
We are returning to our favorite destination, Sanibel/Captiva, in December. A stop at YOLO is always on our agenda. We would love to be able to stock up on some new shelling equipment. Thanks Pam, for your fabulous website!
The name say’s it all …. YOLO … yes , you only live once !!! Live it … YOLO !Please enter me in your drawing , thanks !!
Please enter me, too! Sanibel is my favorite place to be, and I plan to come back before spring break! Would love to try paddleboarding! And would also love to get a backhoe! Thanks for the wonderful blog that gets me by when I can’t be there! Sherri
Please enter me in the drawing. Would love to shop at YOLO’s for some new shelling gear. Thank you!
Oh would love to have this gift certificate for our November trip to Sanibel & Captiva! It’s a long drive from Nova Scotia but worth every minute of it to be in Shelling Heaven!
Please enter me in the YOLO drawing! Thank you Pam and YOLO!
Looking forward to coming back to Sanibel in November. Can’t wait to shell and fish. Please enter me in the drawing.
I remember passing your store while in Captiva. We were there last May and plan another trip next April-May. I think I would spend the gift card on flip flops for all, shelling equipment, perhaps a couple of comfy floats and who knows what other treasures I would find at Yolo ~ perhaps some souvenirs for the folks back home. OMG, this is such an astonishingly great giveaway!
I love the beach, can’t wait to check out your shop next time I’m there. Which will be soon. ;)
Oh my goodness! That would be the most awesome thing EVER for me!! I’ll be coming down on a shoestring budget and probably will be camping to save money as it is!
it would be so great to win this gift card…..i love yolo……and sanibel pls pick me!!!!!
I would LOVE to win this! Even if I don’t win, we will go to YOLO for our beach and shelling needs! See you in a few weeks!
We would love to have this gift card!! Thank you so much for all you do!!
Count me in on the Giveaway….. I was shelling today at Bowman’s Beach…. Found a nice variety of shells even though the tide was high. Winning would be great to be able to get some of the needed tools for shelling!
My 85-year old mother and I will be in the islands for 2 weeks in Dec-Jan. I’ll be happy to convince her that not only do You Only Live Once, but you can live even more with a gift card! We hope to see you on the beach, Pam, when we’re wearing our “I Love Shelling” sweatshirts.
Pam, you are awesome!! I would love the gift certificate because I love shelling and my husband loves surfing.
I would love to win this but even more I would love to come to the island to pick it up! We are coming to Sanibel in Oct, I hear the shells calling. Can’s wait!
Coming again in April 2013! Would love to shop at YOLO with a spiffy new gift card! :)
Me! Me! Me! Entry Me Please!
Please enter me in drawing. Love Yolo. Have rented jet skis there and members of family have enjoyed the parasailing.
Been tempted to try parasailing for a long time. This just might give me that little push!!!! Coming down to the islands next month and again in March for the shell fair. Can’t wait.
I would love to win this gift and I would use it to rent the Scoop Coup…which would be perfect for me to ride in along the sand and collect shells, as my knees won’t let me walk in the sand anymore…My “beach angel” would hover over me…
Would love to win! It would give my husband and I a reason to head down besides shell searching of course!
Thank you YOLO! I would absolutely love to win the giveaway! I would need all the equipment to go shelling, as it has been many years since I have been there.. Plus, would need a golf cart to get around, to everywhere! And, are there surf golf carts also? As walking is difficult for me, and walking on the beach would take a concentrated effort. But, I absolutelywould go as far as I could! There is so much to explore and I would love to be able to have the opportunity to do that….I read Pam’s website everyday and want to see all the things she does…..to the best of my ability!
Thanks for entering me in this giveway! I am looking forward to winning, I hope!
Gayle And Jack
Please enter me in the YOLO giveaway. Thanks Pam!
I’ll be visiting Captiva again with my family next June and will be staying right across the street from YOLO. How cool would it be to win some money for some new shelling gear!?!?
Beach stuff! How cool is that. Love your name- You Only Live Once!
Please enter me in your contest.
Thanks Pam!
Winning the $100 YOLO gift card would give me extra incentive I need to plan another trip to Sanibel! Our shelling gear was stolen off the beach at Blind Pass so I need to replace our tools and who doesn’t LOVE new flip flops! Having just spent 16 days in the hospital with some heart issues, I really enjoyed the cyber-shelling but the real thing would be the greatest!
Yeah, what a great idea, I can always use some new things. Please enter me in the contest.
Yea! Giveaways~Fun! Thank you Pam for “keepin it fresh” Love ya!
Counting the days (70!) until my mother-daughter trip to Sanibel. My daughter is a senior in high school and this will be a girls only trip. She and I are somewhat, well ok, extremely obsessed with Sanibel shelling!!! ohhhhh – we would love to buy some water shoes and back hoes and sun screen and paddle board rentals… so very excited!! Please enter us in your contest!
Sea (shell) ya later!
Kris and Sammie Sterkenburg
The guys at YOLO do a great job! Nick and Marcell, the Captains on the YOLO parasail boats have many years of experience and will show you a great time on the water!
Captain Brian
We are die hard shellers and God willing will retire in Sanibel one day……We hit the Key Lime Bistro for a killer Mahi sandwich lunch (after catching a shark with a local charter:)))))) this spast July!!! After four recent visits to Sanibel/Captival this was our first visit to the YOLO neighbourhood! After lunch, we took a walk down Andy Rosse Lane and happened upon their store. At the end of our vacation we were unable to capitalize on their rentals…….after popping into their store we bought a YOLO sticker that we proudly dawn on our car (right beside our SI sticker :))). We look forward to renting from them in the future-really hoping to give us a shelling advantage :)))). Next visit booked July 2013!!!
Hot diggity, that little red deuce scoot coup looks FUN!
Enter me Please! I Love Shelling!
Shelling is a favorite pastime for me and my husband. I would love to win a giftcard from you and have opportunity to get more tools for our treasure hunting.
Just made reservations to be on Sanibel in April 2013 — this gift card would be a great addition to our vacation plans.
I’m not sure what I would do first with the $100: shopping or paddle boards? My Captiva buds might like a small shelling gift….naaahhhhh… I’d look too adorable in the sccot coup. I’d let my friends ride with me. Consider my entry! Please!
This looks like a candy store for us beach lovers!
Count me in! New beach shoes & scoops would be great – or maybe some new flip flops, etc. etc. Thanks for keeping us all entertained and in the know on all things Sanibel Pam! You really brighten my day. :)
Yes, please. :-) Would love to win this. (And I’ve never seen so many comments on one post! Wow!) Thanks, Pam.
Count me in! I visited Sanibel/Captiva for the first time 3 years ago and was immediately hooked on the area and shelling. I have shell displays throughout our Maryland home to remind me (and envious visitors) of the beautiful beaches.
Would love checking out YOLO and shelling gear during a future visit.
Good luck to everyone! Everyone that has discovered this area of the US are winners!
I love this blog and I would love to win this gift card! :)
This is so exciting! Thanks for offering this opportunity for such a great prize. I am moving from New England to Florida in November and do not have any shelling supplies at all yet. This prize would make a fabulous start :)
I love YOLO! I discovered Yolo this summer and had to be drug out! REALLY! Thanks Pam and Carla for posting and sharing, I’ll be sure to do the same. Please choose me!! :0
Last time we were in Captiva, we rented a golf cart from Yolo and had a blast! This place is great. The gift card would really come in handy for our trip in October! Thanks for the giveaway.
My mother and I will be celebrating our birthdays in Sanibel in October. We’d love to go parasailing with YOLO!! :)
My shell (and biological) sister, Sue, and I will be shelling over Columbus Day weekend…we would definitely put that gift card to good use!
My daughter and I and my grandchidren come to Sanibel 3 or 4 times a year. LOVE the shells and your site. Read it every day and do the cyber shelling lol. Would have alot of fun with the card. Thanks for all the shell pics
Thank you, Pam for offering another great give-away. And thank to YOLO for supporting your blog!
Could realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly use this gift card on my next trip to Sanibel-Captiva! Always wanted to get a look at the island from a waverunner!
I would be honored to be included in your drawing, thank you so much for offering it! For our annual October trip this year, our grandson’s (5 + 11) are joining us so if I were ever lucky enough to win, the real pleasure would be letting them pick out their favorite shelling treats + beach gear. Hopefully we’ll run into you & Clark again, which I thoroughly enjoyed last Oct.. (I doubt you would remember, but I was the one with the mesh “doggie” bag, which I used for my shells..) My hubby Tony and I made your blog, which was very cool.. :))) While we wait patiently for 10/19 to roll around, we wish everyone a wonderful fall season and happy shelling.
I could really use some of that neat shelling gear when I come back to Sanibel!! I LOVE shelling! Thanks!
I would love to buy more shelling gear on my next trip to Sanibel. Pick me!
Thanks YOLO! Thanks Pam! Really need new shelling gear. Would love to win the gift card!
I love your site and would love to be added to the drawing!! Thanks!
Please enter me in the drawing. We will be down next month and I would love to have some extra money for parasailing, which I have always wanted to try!!
I love shelling. Every chance I get, I go to the beach and explore. I really want to win this contest for my little sister who’s crazy about shells and would love some new gear as well. All she talks about is shells and she’s got a super passion for it and large collection too. It would be awesome to surprise her with a gift card to let her buy everything she needs. She means the world to me and shelling is her everything.
Would love to win! We will be there around Christmas would make an awsome Christmas gift for our son.
I would love to win! My husband wanted to rent jet skis from them when we were visiting in June but we didn’t have time. $100 would be just the excuse we need to come back soon!
YOLO!
Marco!
Count me in!!! Driving down from Birmingham in early October for a much needed Mom getaway…. Never been to YOLO but thanks for the heads up and I’ll be sure to check it out and at least get a cool sticker. I could really use the gift certificate as I have no shelling equipment to speak of – just a happy pair of bare feet and an old bright orange beach bucket. Third trip to Sanibel/Captiva in my lifetime. Hoping to retire to the area once the kids are out of college. Love your site and blog, Pam. Gorgeous photographs and great information. Can’t wait to live near the sea. Sigh.
Yes enter me too. Coming by air this year so will need supplies, which I can send home by ups with shells!!!

We are headed to Sanibel on Friday and have been there 4 years in a row and many times before. We come with our family of 8 and have many ways to use the gift card. The snorkeling and shelling tools look great, but those rentals do too! Many options to choose!
We will be there in October—yahoo–& would love to shop with your gift card!

Wow great giveaway! Like any of us ever need a reason to get down to Sanibel but if I win this well gotta get there to use it.

Hi Pam, I’d love to be included in the drawing. We have nothing to do for the next few weeks and I’m, trying to convince my husband to drop everything and make an impromptu visit to Sanibel. We’ve never been there in the fall. Maybe winning a gift card would put him over the edge. Otherwise, we’ll see you all the end of December and January. Sue Bunkin from PA.
Awesome giveaway! Would love to bring the family back to the Sanibel area~
Please enter me for the YOLO give away!!! Thanks Pam, thanks YOLO.

Please enter me as well. My husband and I will be back for our third visit in November. I love shelling and your website is the first I look at every morning. More shelling gear would be great.
thanks
Pam,
You put this shell collecting monkey on my Sanibel stooped back when I found your I Love Shelling blog this past summer. Winning this prize would be a wonderful way to keep building my tools to continue enjoying shell collecting.
We’re coming to Sanibel for the first time in mid October, all because I found your blog!!!!! Would love to win.
Pam,
Please enter me in your wonderful giveaway. If I was to win the gift card it wouldn’t be for me I would surprise my husband with it. We’ve been to YOLA before and he loved it.

Thank you, YOLO and Pam for doing this contest. Would love to be entered into this drawing! Looking forward to a trip soon to Sanibel. Pam, thank you for giving us a way to “cyber-shell” with all your pictures and stories!
I would love to be included in this drawing! I think i would spend it on parasailing!!!
Wow! I was just going to look for a mask and snorkel today for our shelling trip to Marco and Sanibel on 9-29. How cool would that be to wake up on Oct 1 and find out I’ve won?!! I could use a shell snatcher and mesh bag and, oh, those water shoes would look great with my black and grey swimsuit! Thanks, Pam.
Wish I could be in Sanibel now for all the fabulous shelling. But since I can’t be, please enter me in the drawing. Thanks
I would love to win the give away! My family and I just went to Sanibel in August and plan to go to Captiva next summer too. We would love it Pam if you did group shelling excursions since our finds from Bowmans and the lighthouse weren’t as plentiful as your shelling finds. Overall, we managed to bring home 40 pounds of shells from all over Florida during our three week stay! We love your posts and video because we learn so much from what you share. We even cleaned our shells with muriatic acid and the results werew great!
WOW, I will definitely visit this store the next time I am down there!! Amazing stuff!!
Would LOVE to win. It will be my first time to travel to Sanibel Island so this prize would SO sweeten the Trip! Please include me in the drawing!
What an awesome idea Pam!

Please enter me. So many fun choices, so little time.
Plus it would be a great wedding gift for my son and his bride. Wedding June 21 on the beach.

Coming to Sanibel-Captiva in Nov and bringing our 8 year old granddaughter, Coral, for her first shelling adventure. I can’t wait!, would love to win a water adventure for her.
We would love to win!
Count me in……I was just down there last week and will be there again in a couple of weeks and hope the shelling will be better. Doesn’t matter though I’ve got to get my fix before the ‘snowbirds’ get here otherwise it is just too crowded. Thanks for the opportunity of winning this gift card.
I just so love your blog and website so much! I get so much quality learning about sealife in SW Florida and the knowledge of the seashells I have had the pleasure of getting to know since the mid 70’s when I first visited Sanibel and Captiva Islands. The beauty of these two islands are so reflected in what I can learn from ILOVESHELLING.COM! You are a wonderful blogger and writter. I am so happy when I find your emails in my email box! Now I want to rent a YOYO Golf cart to go cruisin across Sanibel and Captiva in shell lovin heaven!
My daughter and I will be visiting Sanibel/Captiva in Nov. and would love to win the YOLO gift card. We need mesh bags, water shoes, a shelling scoop, and the lisf goes on. Hope we win!!!!!
Would love to win a gift card from YOLO. My son, Bret, rented a surfboard last Christmas from YOLO and was surfing in front of Mitchell’s Sandcastles, when people on the beach started yelling at him to come in. When he turned around to look it appeared there was a 6′ -8′ bull shark swimming just behind the sandbar. He had to cut short his surfing so he lost the rest of his days rental! Maybe he can try again this Christmas! :-)
I want to be included in the gift card contest because after our last trip to Sanibel in July I needed to use epoxy to repair our 30+ year old shell net.
Tim
YOLO is a fun place! My niece went parasailing with them last month and had a ball!

Dear Santa, the Easter Bunny, and Pam,
I would really like to win the $100 gift card from YOLO. I need lots of shelling supplies, but a wave runner ride would be fun, too.
Keeping my fingers, legs & eyes crossed. The only thing I ever won in my life was an espresso machine at Publix, but I gave that to my son. Winning the gift card would make me really happy. Pretty please…with Splenda on it.
Please enter me in the drawing. You never have enough shelling gear. I will be there in November and again February to April. I rarely miss a day on the beach. I love shelling.
My very 1st winter on Sanibel. What a grand “Welcome Home, Kathee” gift this would be! Thanks, YOLO!
Have been to Sanibel several times and just visited Blind Pass for the first time on Friday with my nephew and his wife from Illinois. She loved it and so did I! She told me I need one of those shell scoopers so please enter me in the YOLO drawing!! Thank you!
I have a condo in Bonita Springs, I live in PA. Is there a time limit on this?
We are planning to come late Oct -Nov. I read every blog you write and it makes me feel like running to the airport to come down! I’ve learned SO much from you.
Thank You!
Chris Hardman
If I win, I will most definitely come down for a visit very soon! :)
Just left Sanibel last week – found some wonderful shells! Stopped in at YOLO and WOW what a store!! Hope I win the gift for me next trip to Sanibel!!

Count me in, Pam – would love to win! At age 66 it might just be the first thing I’ve ever won!
Love the site – just put my 6 wentletraps in my “mini’s” box – thanks to your “how to find” lesson at the lighthouse recently. We’re back in TN, but missing the island.
Johnnie

PLEASE ENTER ME……….I will be coming to Sanibel/Captiva for two weeks this summer. I would love to have the opportunity to try renting a scoot coup or golf cart to get around the island.

Pam, I’m an avid sheller on Florida’s east coast and visit your site daily to see what you found. I’d love anything from Yolo since I just walk and stoop to pick up my shells. I’m planning an across-the-state trip to your beaches this Fall. Hope I run into you!
This gift card could come in handy to use when I am on Sanibel in 26 days!!! And I will be able to eat normal food again after having jaw surgery and being on liquid diet for 6 weeks.
I would love to win this gift card. We have been debating about going to Sanibel this Fall and winning would mean we would be heading your way. We love Sanibel and would love to live there some day. Almost heaven.
just like everyone else i really want and need this gift card!!!!!!!!!lol really
Sanibel and Captiva are my favorite places to be. I have been going ever since I was a little girl. I love Sanibel and shelling so much that I dream about them from time to time! Last year, we started a tradition of going over Christmas, because it’s the only time my family and I can be all together now that my brother has graduated from college and I am in dental school. I will be bringing my fiance to Sanibel with me this year. He will have just gotten home from a 6 month deployment, so this gift card would be a nice little surprise for him! Thank you for having this contest! : )
P.S. your link to sign up for your newsletter is not working : (
My husband and I retired and moved to SW Florida 12 years ago for the wonderful boating in the area. Then I discovered SHELLING! We combine the 2 hobbies often staying at nearby marinas or anchoring at Cayo Costa. These past 12 years have been the best of our lives. SW Florida is truly Paradise. Please enter me in the drawing.
I really need new gear for my collecting and a pair of water shoes would be great! My feet always get sliced open from all the sharp shells and water shoes would be comfortable and greatly appreciated. I would like to win the contest because I love beachcombing and snorkeling.

Pam – my friend, Carol, turned me on to your website about a year ago. It is the best present a person could get. Each time I read one of your posts I am right back there on the beach with you. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into keeping all of us wannabe Sanibel/Captiva residents in the loop. Your photographs are really wonderful. I have visited Sanibel twice and can’t wait to get back there.
Hooray! A shopping spree! This store has so much to offer, we’ll be sure to check it out. Love the “I Love Shelling” website. It keeps us informed while we count the days untill our next vacation on Sanibel!
I’ve only been to Sanibel once, but winning this would go a long way
in getting me there again!!
I have been yearning to visit Sanibel Island for about three years now. My husband and I are FINALLY managing to make time for the trip. We hope to be there in December or possibly January. Winning this gift card would be a great way to stock up on gear for our shelling adventures.
I have been following Pam’s blog for quite sometime now. Sanibel looks to be a wonderful place and I just cannot wait to get there.

WOW!! What a wonderful prize. We’ll be on Sanibel in 35 days and I would love to parasail again. My husband and I went parasailing with Yolo Sport a few years ago and loved it. Thanks for your blog and your give-always!
Please enter me in the contest – thank you! I think I would rent a wave runner, since I haven’t done that yet on my visits to Sanibel-Captiva. It looks so fun. :)
Looks like a wonderful little shop. I’ll be sure to visit on my next vacation on Sanibel. Please enter me in the contest.
Thanks, Marlene
Love Sanibel and Captiva – would love to win a YOLO gift certificate! Since most of our shelling gear is getting old, lost, or whatever – I would purchase some new digs for shelling including a new pair of flip flops and water shoes.
Please enter me in the drawing. I love to fish and shell on Sanibel.
I love being able to go to the beach every day through your website. It is the next best thing to actually being there in person. Sanibel and Captiva are at the top of my trip list, and I eagerly anticipate all of the beautiful shells I will find there! Never envisioned saying this, but the pictures of parasailing make me want to do that too!
I would love to win this! We are coming to Sanibel/Captiva in November and could use some new shelling gear to dig through all those piles. I love to read your website and see what is happening on the beach when we can’t be there.
I would love to win this package. I love Sanibel and shelling. I live for my next opportunity to go shelling. If I win the package, I WILL visit Sanibel and the shop to enjoy some shelling and some island time. Please enter me in the contest, so I can escape the Michigan weather!

We just moved to Lakeland, Florida and I would LOVE to win a $100 GF from Yolo Watersports and be able to visit Captiva soon and buy a bunch of really neat shelling gear! It would be a fun treat for our whole family to visit Captiva for the first time and check out all the attractions and the beaches! Plus, I am sure we will love it and we will want to bring back guests again and again :)
Please enter me in the contest. I’d take a break from shelling love to give paddle boarding a try!
ME ME ME !! I Love Shelling !! I live here in Fort Myers !! Need a new net !! Love YOLO !!
YOLO rocks !!! We rented jet skis from them last year and the crew at YOLO was great to work with. Sanibel/Captiva is our little slice of Heaven and coming down there a couple of times a year helps us get through the long, cold, gray & rainy Seattle fall, & winter (spring & part of the summer too !).
Counting down the days until our next Captiva visit!!! 6 months to go!!! Woot woot!!!
Please enter me into your gift card contest. I love shelling!! Thanks!
YOLO ROCKS!!! Please enter me in your Giveaway! I’d LOVE to try Parasailing and cross that off my bucket list :-)
Oh yeah baby…I LOVE LOVE “YOLO”!. Every time we are on the islands, we make it a point of stopping by. All of my friends are all suited up with the YOLO t-shirts. If that isn’t advertisement enough, I have the YOLO vanity plate on the front of my car…along with several of the neighbors and friends. I could use this gift cert since every time I go I am in debt from all my friend’s gift requests from this store! I am like a walking billboard….now it is time to get paid! :)
Thanks Pam – what an awesome giveaway!
Hi Pam –

i like cool beach stuff!!!
Would love to win the gift card. Will be back down in November, so the timing is perfect!!! Keep up the great posts, Pam….LOVE your website!!
What an awesome giveaway! Please include my name into the hat! My husband and I have a standing ‘date’ at Sanibel/Captiva every year. We got married on the beach four years ago this past April & now we vacation there every year. I always say that the area is ‘my heaven here on earth’. I just don’t think there could possibly be any place in the world prettier and more relaxing. Ahhhh……how nice would it be to hit Florida and know that I have $100.00 to just spend on beach stuff?!?! Thanks!
I love your blog I have been following it since I found it in June when I was at Captiva! :] I would love to win that yolo giftcard too!
Looks like fun stuff!!
I don’t need an excuse to go back but winning a gift card from Yolo’s might be the luck I need to find the jewel Junonia. Always look forward to receiving your posts even though it makes me want to jump on a flight back to Sanibel. Thanks!
Good Luck everyone.
Thanks I Love Shelling for this contest! Because of your blog my partner and I had a most wonderful time shelling on Sanibel Island back in April 2012. My I Love Shelling Shirt is in my closet waiting to go on the next trip (fingers crossed… hopefully in December). I have the backhoe from your website, the tide charts, I even made a Shelling Calendar with all the low tides entered in and the best time to go (ahem… December, which is also my 45th Birthday!). Please enter me in your YOLO giveaway as it looks like a great store to get more gear!
I’d love some new shelling equipment!
Wow–a great shop to check out next Spring. Enter me in the contest.
pls it would be great to win this gift card
Moved to the Cape almost two years ago and still haven’t gotten proper shelling gear! Would love to win! Thank you, Deborah
Nothing beats a day at the beach looking for shells. And no where is better than Captiva/Sanibel.
I just got back from Sanibel. Had a excellent time there. I ended up with many cuts and blisters on my feet from all the rubbing of the waves. I could use some new water shoes for my next trip!
Yea! We will be there in October and could use the stuff!!!! Count me in.
Liked everything about the marketing. Please enter me in the give away contest
We always go shelling at Blind Pass when we stay at our vacation place in Fort Myers (at least 4 times a year). To win this stuff would simply be shellexcellent and help us to search for the Junonia.
I would LOVE to win, I have family flying in tonight that I am taking to the island, and then 2 weeks later another sister is coming to visit! I live in Naples, but we HAVE to come to Sanibel!
Sanibel/Captiva has been my home away from home my whole life (22 years!). Whenever my family and I come visit we love to go to YOLO and rent paddleboards & parasail! I would love a giftcard so I could come down from FSU and paddleboard with my cousins on vacation!
I would love to win the giveaway. Will be in Florida early November to leave our motorhome and then will travel back in Dec. to stay thru March 2013. Will be staying at the Castaways for a week in Jan. Can’t wait!
I love your website !!!
Thanks
Please enter me in the contest. I would love to get the shelling shoes to explore those deep shell piles.
I’ve got to have this!!
I love your website! Can’t wait to visit Sanibel again- and if I win the gift certificate I’m going to try SUP :)
i’m coming to ft. myers/naples in january, and would LOVE to win this coupon for some shelling/kayaking supplies!!! thanks for doing this :)
my husband and I are coming to Sanibel Island in February – it will be our very first time there! We cannot wait to escape the Vermont winter for a beautiful warm getaway… 8o)
i’d love to win 100 bucks worth of stuff from one of the coolest shops on the island’s. can’t wait to get back there. luv Rich.
We love YOLO! I also enjoy your blog! Thanks for a fun give-a-way.
Perfect! I’m arriving on Sanibel this Saturday for a week to celebrate my birthday. This would be a wonderful surprise gift! Along with the birthday junonia I’m hoping to find! Thanks for the opportunity.
YOLO so sign me up please. I love their scoot coupes..quite a way to tool around the island!
Sign me up!! We just returned from Sanibel this past Saturday, but we’re already to go again.
Please enter me in the drawing!
Sure would enjoy shopping…THEN shelling!!
We come down to Sanibel about twice a year from Georgia and love everything about it. We do a lot of shelling at Blind Pass and really could use some of the water shoes to protect our feet when there a lot of shell piles. Please sign me up as I would love to come see what all you have that I just “Neeeeeed” !!! Hope to visit again real soon since we haven’t been since May of this year.
I could use $100 gift certificate. We’re coming down for 2 weeks in December – always need more shelling equipment. Barb Tesno
Hi! Im Spencer and im 11 yrs old, i first started coming to sanibel/captiva when i was 7 yrs old and we have been comong ever since. I love shelling and i follow your blog every few days. It would be a dream come true to win this giftcard and get one step closer to finding my own junonia!!! Please enter me in the contest!! Thanks!!!
With two (2) knee replacements, I won’t be parasailing but I love to shell with equipment from YOLO.
Woohoo! Would love to win so I can use the certificate when I visit from Seattle, Washington for my 50th birthday April 2013!!
I would love to try paddle boarding at Captiva!!
I would like to be enter in the contest with YOLO
Thank You!
Sheila
Our family is looking forward to our first Captiva Christmas! A YOLO gift certificate would be icing on the cake. :)
Would love to win the gift card! I purchased my first “backhoe” on Sanibel about 7 years ago and have used it so much that it was falling apart! My husband knows how I love to use it and even had it welded back together for my for my birthday. Have “backhoe”, will shell!
Yea for the give away! It all sounds great to me!!
I will be going there end of November and would love to win this give away! I have nothing for shelling so this would be nice for me to be able to buy stuff there.
I can’t wait to get there!!!! I have never been on the west coast of Florida so it will be a first for me.
I think I would use the gift certificate to rent jet skis. I watched two jet skiers off the South Seas following a pod yesterday, and I was sooooo jealous. My little float wouldn’t get me there.
Please enter me in the drawing. I have never been to YOLO and will be in Sanibel for a week next month. I think i would like to try the stand up paddle boards. Thanks
I would love to win. We visit Sanibel ever year in July. My husband and girls always go Parasailing through Yolo! I would love to rent a waverunner. This would be great. Sanibel and Capitva are the best vacation spot for the whole family. We love it.
I hope that I win this $100. It would be a bonus for my upcoming trip.
I would love to win. Paddleboarding is very appealing to me…I would LOVE to try it. My husband & I love to go to the Islands to shell…one of our favorite past times. We will definitely stop in your shop on our next vist. We live here full time & enjoy everything that SW FL has to offer.
I haven’t had good luck finding the really unique shells at Blind Pass. Winning the gift card will provide the professional tools I need for my shell treasure hunt.
Pick me, pick me!
I would like to be entered in the drawing for the $100 gift card. Hmmm….waverunner sounds fun. I hope to be in Sanibel in December. I hope my knee is better by then or I may be doing a lot of sitting on the beach instead of shelling. Or sifting through shell piles!
Yes, I want the Yolo Giftcard! I can hardly wait to get back to my favorite spot in the world – Sanbel/Captiva. I’m sure that my family would all have great ideas on how to spend that $100. Goodl luck everyone!
Ethel
Please enter me. Yeah YOLO!
Please enter me into the contest. My wife and I have been coming down from Buffalo, NY for twenty years. Our next visit will be this December. We enjoy shelling and have found your web site to almost as nice as being there. This past summer we came down in July because of the dredging that was to have been in progress. Shelling can be great when the dredging is going on. We saw the dredge but it was not actually working in early July. That was disappointing. I also was surprised at how hot it was even on the beach. I thought it might be 10 degrees cooler by being next to the water. But it still was 93 degrees. Too hot for me to enjoy. We know that it will be a little cooler in December. We are looking forward to our visit. Thanks for the chance to win the gift card. Mike
This is one contest I would LOVE to win! I will be visiting Sanibel and Captiva for the first time in 3 short weeks. I planned this vacation for the sole purpose of walking on the beach and collecting shells! What better way to enjoy my adventure than with the perfect shelling equipment from YOLO!
We would love a Yolo gift card! Crossing my fingers!
what an awesome gift this would be to win!!!! I would def get new beach worthy fitflops, water shoes, shelling gear galore, and probably chair rental thats lightweight! ..actually, that would probably cost double… but I can dream! Thanks so much for offering this Pam!
Still waiting for the Lord to open a door for me to come and visit… that 3 hr drive is like a life time away… but we shall see hwat the coming months bring..
God bless… sooooooooooooo greatful for your blog and all the amazing things others post.. it brings those of us that cannot be there right now, to a place where we can almost smell the salt air!
Cathy B pbprojecthope at yahoo dot com
ps if you ever hear anyone coming over your way from PBC, for a day, let me know!
I really could use a good excuse to make the 3 hour treck down south… I could say to my husband “I HAVE TO GO REDEEM MY $100 GIFT AND GO SHELLING” “NO, YOU DON”T HAVE TO GO, LINDA IS DRIVING”
Can’t get there till January and would love to win!!
I looove shelling and this site. Hope to win.
I need to replace my water shoes. They got torn up on pen shells while digging for my 2 beautiful horse conch shells. I tried sewing them and the next day back in the water I shredded them again. So a YOLO gift card would be helpful.
I love your shell blog… makes me pine for sw florida :)
I would spend the gift card on new water shoes for my wife and I when we come to Sanibel next month! Woo Hoo! We can’t wait.
We learned to paddleboard in Kauai and would use this generous gift to rent paddleboards and discover the clear, warm, beautiful waters of Sanibel when we come next month…for the 3rd time in a year and a half! All the way from Texas. It’s a long way and the air fares are SKY high the week of Thanksgiving, but worth every penny. Our first Thanksgiving in 31 years NOT spent on the Texas coast – we can hardly wait to get back and stay in Ken and Alice’s wonderful home :-)
My son would like to enter the contest since he
seen it on ILOVESHELLING. He loves that website
and now he loves looking at all the things he can use
to shell with, please sign him up for the contest.j
Thanks!!
I would love to win the gift card. I love shelling at Sanibel!!!
Hi Pam! I love your website & shelling at Sanibel! I have 2 shell sifters & 2 of your ‘I Love Shelling’ t-shirts. Please enter me in the contest–I would like to rent a paddle board for my precious husband. :-) Thanks for bringing the beauty of Sanibel Island to us!
Deb in Bradenton, FL
I really enjoy your website. We’ve been visiting Sanibel every year for the past 3 years, and I love to shell, too! Looking at your pictures inspires me… and makes me jealous when I’m not there :). Please enter me in the contest for the gift card for our 2013 trip — we always stop by YOLO for some shopping and/or activity rentals, and would enjoy some spending money.
Thanks!
I so would love to get a proper addition to my shelling supplies so I (hopefully) could find a junonia!
Please enter me. My husband’s feet need a pair of new water shoes, and I’d love some new shelling equipment. Looks like a wonderful store, and we plan to go there next time we are in San/Cap. Thank you!
Planning to see you soon and would love to win your giveaway!
I have been forwarding your emails to my Sister and her husband in anticipation of our vacation together in October.
What a treat to be able to share the giveaway while we are in Sanibel.
Please enter me in the giveaway.
Thank you!
I am feeling Lucky if I should win I will treat my friend Pam around captiva on one of those little cars… wish me luck… Jane
As I always say….a girl’s allowed to change her mind! (as often as she changes her flip flops.!!!) …. what better way to shop the blues away….it would be so worth it sea ing Sanibel again and “driving over the Sky Way Bridge” just to have my shelling buddy Kelly redeem her winning gift card….Now that’s what i would call paradise !
Please enter me in your contest. We are coming down the end of November and would love to add to being a winner having the opportunity of being at Captiva with a $100 certificate to spend any way we want at YOLO.
enter me please I would love to give it to my wife
Count me in on the drawing, please! I need an excuse to come back to Sanibel. :-)
We will be coming down Oct. 20th for a couple weeks an would love to win the gift card. Bringing a family of 5 and that is quite expensive for a single income home and any help would be grateful.
My 7 year old boy said he would love some water shoes and a nice shell scooper to “hunt with dad”.
So nice of you to offer this!
Blessings!
I would LOVE to win this gift certificate as I am a shell lover and really want to treasure hunt on Sanibel ! My Husband and I have lived here in Florida since 1988 and the only time we go to the beach is once a year, to our timeshare week in Marco Island ! I have been wanting to go shelling on your beaches for years, especially when I keep seeing all the treasures you post on Facebook !
Thanks so much for your great webpage and all the info I have learned about our local shells !
Would love love love this!!!!!
YOLO – I LOVE it! You Only Live Once! Says it all!
I would love to win this card so I can get my 2 sisters lots of shelling things…. they are as crazy about shelling as I am…… and I love to give presents!!!
I would love to win this…enter me please!!!!
Thanks YOLO & Pam for this wonderful giveaway opportunity!!!!!Count me in please.. Can`t wait to be back on Sanibel shellin~&renting a Stand up paddleboard!!!!
love shells and love Sanibel and Captiva. we’ll be back soon so this would come in handy.
Can hardly wait to get back to Sanibel and hit the beaches for hours and hours of shelling…I had a great time collecting last winter and made quite a haul.
Would love to have a chance at the gift certificate to add to my shopping pleasures…
My 9 year old could do some damage with $100 gift card! I’m guessing she’d want to rent the paddle boards!
Would love to win the gift card fro YOLO! *Snorkling Gear!
Facing a rare tumor diagnosis–the first item on my “bucket list” is to go pick up seashells! I’d LOVE to win this coupon so I could splurge on some shelling tools and perhaps a golf cart rental–so I could cover more beach. I’ve always loved seashells, maybe because I grew up on a small river in Missouri–we enjoyed the sand, but there weren’t any shells there. I am so looking forward to a shelling adventure!
Ooh another excuse to go back to Sanibel!
We visit from NJ at least once a year and love shelling on the beautiful Sanibel & Captiva beaches. Now we have a daughter attending college in FL & don’t really need another excuse to come to FL, but the gift certificate sure woud be a nice treat!
We are visiting Sanibel in a couple of weeks.
Can’t hardly wait to be back on the beach!
Hey! Love this blog! And the perfect give away! Thanks!
My daughter will be visiting in December — she loves to rent wave runners from you! Please enter me in the drawing.
Please include me in the drawing and make sure I win because I want to come back to Sanibel and find more shells!!!!!!!
Please enter me in this fantastic giveaway. Thank you Yolo and Pam! The possibilities for fun are endless!
There once was a contest to enter,
by YOLO the Watersports Center.
Fine things to adore,

a plethora of paradise splendor!
I really need a new pair of Reefs. That’s what I would buy. Will be on Sanibel nov 15-23.

Please enter me in the Yolo gift card contest. I’d spend the card on shelling & kayaking items for myself & hubby during our annual visit in Oct. This visit is our chance to relax and recharge from the stresses of the world and new water shoes and shelling equipment from the wonderful Yolo store would be wonderful! We both really enjoy walking the beach for hours looking for the treasures of the ocean, but my hubby needs the “destressing” benefits most of all. He’s a gem and I’d spend the $100 on him!
Oh WOW! Pick me! Pick me! (HA HA) Seriously, I’d love to win, but am also enjoying the dreaming of spending the super prize in so many ways!!!
We love visiting Captiva, and your store is a regular stop! I sure hope I win!

To win this please enter me Thanks!!
Twenty-seven years ago, while my husband was in Ft. Myers on a business trip, I flew in to join him for the weekend. Having just read an article in Southern Living magazine about Sanibel, I was anxious to check out the shelling. Around 5:00 AM I woke him up, saying, “Get up we’re going to look for sea shells.” His response (cleaned up a little), “The heck you say!” Now we look forward to our annual trip to Sanibel and he’s the first one up each morning to hurry to the beach. We love Sanibel and Captiva and never consider vacationing on any other beaches.
Pam
Would love to be entered in the contest. Enjoy reading your postings.
Love shelling, would do it everyday if I could!! Hope to see you on my next
visit to the Island.
Glad to see your fan scallop posting. That is my goal for our next trip! See you in February!
Pam-Great giveaway ! Please enter me in the contest, would love the backhoe!
Pam,
It would be wonderful to win this giveaway!!! I have been planning to buy some new shelling equipment. My husband and I will be visiting Sanibel for the month of October and I plan to shell everyday. I STALK the I LOVE SHELLING website to find out where people are finding great shells.
It’s so sad to be checking the site and see great shell finds when I am stuck home in Northern VA. We hope the shelling will be FINE for October. I hope to run into on the beach while we are hear. I met Donnie last year. It would be nice to make another new shelling friend.
I love your website! Please enter me in the drawing.
Pam,
If I won the giveaway, I would probably use it to go out on a waverunner. I’ve been out on one once before and it is awesome. Although, I would probably also entertain going parasailing. That’s always looked like a fun time. :)
We are hoping to come back to Sanibel in December. Would be great to try something new. Thanks for all you do. We’re hoping to finally run into you someday on the beach. :)
Karen
I love YOLO & I LOVE SHELLING! Pretty please enter me in your drawing, Thanks :-)

Hey Pam,
My husband Bob and I plan to be in Sanibel and Captiva on October 24 through November 7. This will be our fifth trip to the islands, and our second trip this year. We both are “official” senior citizens, but we can still do the Sanibel stoop and the, and very nicely I might add.
Please enter both of us, or either of us, in the Yolo contest. We can always use more shelling equipment, and winning this will give us another opportunity to visit ya’ll.
Bob and Linda Turner
Burlington, NC
P.S. We BOTH love shelling!
Hi Pam,
I would love to win this so I can “treat” my girlfriends to something special! Matching water shoes?! Matching shelling buckets?! Limitless possibilities! This is the first “girl’s weekend” we have ever had and we’re coming in October to your beautiful corner of the world! It is a treat to ourselves since we all had our first babies over the last three years and have put so much into raising those babes! We thought we needed a little R &R!! Maybe we’ll see you on the beach!
I love diving for shells. I could use some new snorkeling gear. I lost mine at Bowman Beach in August :( It would be great if I won the giveaway. Hopefully, I’ll be back next August to find the 2 missing Sanibel 6.
Enter me in the drawing. I love shelling and visit this site often.
Please include me in the Yolo contest! I would love to rent a wave runner or SUP since I have never tried those before! Hoping to get back to Sanibel soon :-).
Love your blog and your pictures are awesome!
Plans include a sole trip to Sanibel Island for a much needed rest:) All work and no play just isn’t good for anyone!
Would love to win the Yolo gift card as it would allow me to pick up some great shelling gear on my trip to solitude!
Thanks!
