"art on the go" giveaway

Happy Monday!  I'm having a bit of a slow start today.  I woke up with a terrible headache which kept us home from swimming lessons but things have subsided and I'm feeling much better.  Let's get on with the giveaway, shall we?



I promised I'd do one back in my 300th post but needed a bit of time to figure out what would be up for grabs.  I've been making crayon rolls of late and selling them in local craft
fairs and since it is that back to school time I'd like to keep the
theme going.  If you're a fan of linen and cotton, you are going to love this giveaway.



The giveaway, let's call it "art on the go" will entail: one mini crayon roll - it's a  bit smaller than the originals I've made in the past - which will come filled with large size crayons.  I really like the larger crayons because they seem to be a bit sturdier for the little hands and less likely to break.  Also included is a
9" x 6" doodle pad with 100 pages for endless coloring.  Finally, both items fit neatly inside a matching, fully lined art tote so nothing get's lost during transport or around the home for that matter.  Perfect for your little bug lover :)



The giveaway details are pretty simple, leave a comment and you are entered!  It's that simple.  I'll leave the comments open for the week and announce a winner on the weekend.



Come one, come all and comment for your chance to win. Oh and please feel free to blog about it and share the love.    

ETA: Oops, I've been really busy getting ready for a garage sale that we are having this weekend (Saturday/Sunday).  So busy I forgot to close the comments.  Silly me.  Anyway, I'll officially close the comments on Sunday around 6:00 pm CST.  I'll draw the name and announce a winner on Monday, August 31st.  Hope everyone is well and enjoying their weekend.  Be back soon, xxx.    

Sunday 8:00 pm:  Comments are now closed!  Thank you everyone for participating.

Just a little really, before I head off to dream land.





I meant to do the giveaway this week, but with running the troop to swim class every morning, our end of summer schedule is really kicking my butt.  I forgot how difficult it is to get out of bed, organized and functional after weeks of lazy summer days & late nights.  Not to worry though, we have one more week of swimmers life and then it is back to regular scheduling for the kiddos, at least for a little while longer.
 
In the meantime, the giveaway post is now set for Monday.  I'll be back then with full photos of the goodies up for grabs.  Have a lovely couple of days and we'll talk soon, xxx.

summer, oh summer

Where for art thou summer?

Sometimes you just need to post inspiring pictures if for no other reason than to remind yourself what summer is supposed to look like.

We are on day 6 (or 7) of straight rain here on the prairies.  It's strange I tell ya, very strange.  I'd take a leech over this rain any day.

Many, many thanks to 3trikes for inviting us to the lake, we had a fabulous day with you and your family.  I hope it warms up so we can have another water adventure day.  xxx

ps...the giveaway is still coming :)
