Here's another fun giveaway to celebrate my gratitude this (my birthday) month.
I'm grateful for each of you, who continue to visit my blog,
try out our activities, and leave friendly comments!
I'm grateful for another birthday, because every day (and year!) is a gift.
I'm grateful for my healthy kids and husband.
I'm grateful for our warm home.
I'm grateful for good friends and good books.
I'm grateful for good coffee and good (cheap) wine.
I'm grateful for crafty inspiration!
and...I'm grateful for crafty blogger friends.
Marie LeBaron 's blog, Make and Takes, is adorable.
It's full of cute (free!) printables, craft ideas and kid-friendly fun.
Her new book, "Make and Takes for Kids" is adorable too!
When my advance copy of her book arrived in the mail
last week, "E" snatched it up immediately and started
naming the projects she wanted to do.
I handed "E" a set of mini post-it notes and told
her to "bookmark" anything she liked and wanted to try.
She came back 5 minutes later
with more than half of the book,"marked."
This book is adorable and full of totally do-able,
kid and mom friendly crafts and recipes.
It's organized by seasons and has 50 projects to make with kids.
There are 4-5 activities, craft and food related, for each month of
the year centered on that month's holiday or season.
The girls love these egg carton sea creatures. (so does their mama!)
Umm... hello.... so cute, little rock animals. These went right on the girl's crafty list!
I love printmaking, especially with goodies from the kitchen!
Want to know why you'll be grateful for this book too?
The projects are simple, most of the supplies will already be in your house,
and you the crafts require very little prep time!
You can get your own copy in all major books stores and online:
For more great crafty inspiration, check out Wiley Craft's page.
Want a chance to win your own copy of
"Make and Takes For Kids"? Leave a comment below.
(This would be a great stocking stuffer for crafty mamas!)
This giveaway is now closed.
Fondly,
pink and green mama, MaryLea

I love your blog! I did the crayon melting on a canvas project about a month ago, and would love to do more arts and crafts (just need to find time). If I do win this book, it will actually be going to my sister who wishes she was as creative as you, but teaches her students to be. She is a preschool director and is always looking for new ideas. *Crossing fingers and toes!* =)

This just sounds like the perfect book for my family! The crafts look easy enough for my 3 y.o. son to mostly do on his own, and they look interesting enough that my 13 y.o. son would be happy to join in the crafting fun! My fingers AND toes are crossed!!!
