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):
- post a comment below (you can be as wordy or to the point as you like)
- leave your email address in the form provided so I know how to contact you
- 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.
What a gorgeous dress!! My four-year-old would never stop twirling! I love fun contests... especially for such a great prize!
Happy Blog-iversary!

Happy Blogiversary! Love the dress - my four year old would look cute cute in it and my two year old waits patiently for hand me downs.

The dress is so cute. Too bad it won't fit your maggie! (but good for the rest of us! :))

I was going to comment to this with a link to a photo of my daughter in her T-shirt she painted after I was inspired by one of your projects, but I've been too slack to actually take it yet.
still, i wouldn't want to post the dress over here anyway.
Just to echo other people's comments - I always enjoy visiting your blog and keep up the good work.
