Hey, Everyone!
Since starting the blog, four months ago, the response and support have been fabulous!В Critters and Crayons started as a way to share some of the discoveries my family had happened upon in Laredo, and has grown into something that teachesВ something new everyday through the readers.В This blog isn’t just about stuff to do in Laredo with our kids- It’s also about how hard it is to be a parent, and how fulfillng and funny it can be.В It’s about wanting to eat well andВ cook well, to liveВ well and be well, toВ be more positive and happy, even if it takes some agressive self-convincing, sometimes.В I don’t own the patent on any of these concepts.В I could use your help in achieving these lofty goals.
This got me thinking-В How canВ thisВ blog reach more people so that we all can gain more insight?В More ideas?В More creativity?В More laughter?В More inspiration?
I had the idea to host the first Critters and CrayonsВ Give-aways:В Five (5)!В I keep a hefty stock of «gifts», never knowing who I’m buying for, but knowing a good deal when I see one.В So, guess what?В My secret bargain gift hoarding tendency and my need to de-clutter are merging nicely with my goalВ to reach more people through the blog- and to hear more great ideas, meet more creative people, and to read more inspiring stories.
Here goes:
All Critters and Crayons Give-Aways will run between Wednesday, July 13th and Friday, July 29th.В Winners will be announced on Saturday, July 30th.В Prizes will be mailed or hand-delivered.В Sorry, I can only reach folks in the United States!
The details and prizes for each contest will be found in separate posts to be published on Wednesday, July 13th.В
I have a pa*sion for play, toys and art- so guess whatВ the prizes are gonna be?!!В Stuff you can share and do and play with your kids-В You’ll have to wait until Wednesday to peek, though!В But here are some hints:
