Blogaversary give-away!

Today is my one year blog anniversary!

I started out with a heck of a lot of enthusiasm, but not a lot of know-how in spite of years and years of web development experience. I am so excited that I've kept it up and the fact that I managed to rack up over 300 (THREE HUNDRED!) posts that are almost all about creative things you can do with your kids. How cool is that?!

(did I mention my excitement?)

To celebrate I'm giving away a beautiful dress in size 4 by WATI Designs (pictured above). It was generously donated to a cool swag bag I received while at the BlogHer conference, but is sadly way too small for Maggie (who has been drooling over it, and trying to convince me that she could fit in it -- she's size 7-8).

So, if you have a four year-old in your life who would enjoy this, or know one who would, please join in on the fun!

Feel free to pass along the link to other Moms and Dads who might like to win a gorgeous dress and find creative inspiration for kids' craft time.

RULES ('cause I've only got one dress):

1. post a comment below (you can be as wordy or to the point as you like)
2. leave your email address in the form provided so I know how to contact you
3. one entry per person

I'll leave this post open for comments until Thursday, August 2nd at 11:59PM PST (I figure two full days should be plenty to give folks time to head over here). On Saturday morning I'll have the kids pick a name from a hat (or bowl) and announce the winner here and via email to the lucky winner.

I love this dress and my little girl who is 3 looks gorgeous in reds with her dark curly hair. I'm in, and before I forget and seem really rude, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! 300 in 365 days, that is amazing dedication.

Oh, how pretty! My honorary niece (best friend's daughter) declared not long ago that "princesses don't wear pants," and her mom has been scrambling to find dresses. I'd love to surprise them with this!

Happy Blogaversary!!

Congrats on your blogoversary, Veronique! You do keep your blog fresh with witty and intelligent and innovative posts. I've found so many great ideas on what to do with the kids! The amount of interesting links I've followed through your blog posts is huge! And our resident four-year-old girl would love the dress!

[Ali]

I just wanted to say congrats on your blogiversary! I love reading your stuff, but please don't enter me in the draw, because I don't think either of my boys would be mightily impressed by a dress (even one as cute as that!)

[Amy]

Congrats on a year! Sweet Claire would look cute in that fab dress when we get to Malaysia next week - I cannot believe we will finally be there in less than a week! Ack!

Happy Blog Anniversary!

My little girl would LOVE LOVE LOVE that dress!

[Heather]

I really enjoy your blog and all the great ideas for children. I only found you recently and my children have loved the rocket and launcher most thus far.

[Trisha]

What a gorgeous dress! My almost 2 year old wears size 4 and would absolutely BEAUTIFUL on her....of course I might be a tad bit prejudice.

happy blogiversary!! :) i look forward to reading more of your blog. i'm always on the lookout for fun craft ideas. will be adding you to my blogroll!

this beautiful dress would look wonderful on my daughter ava - who is 3, but wears size 4 right now. thanks for entering me. :)

[Mama Luxe]

Happy Blogaversary!!! I enjoy reading your blog so much.

Baby Diva is still a size 2T but she's only one so I have no doubt she'll fit a size four any day now. HAHAHA.

Or I'll give it to a friend's very sweet four year old.

Either way it will have a loving home!

Hope you had fun at BlogHer! I thought this year was the best one yet.

Emily wears size 4 and would look great in that dress. Please enter me in your drawing.

Happy Blog Anniversary and keep up the good writing. My favorite idea from you is the table-top tent. The kids love it!
