Kidz Can Design Jewelry Review & GiveAway!!!

I recently partnered up with Kidz Can Design to bring you this awesome GiveAway!
Kids Can Design specializes in converting your child’s work of art into a high quality sterling silver custom piece of jewelry. You can use any traditional drawings created on a piece of paper, or an image of your choice which then can be turned in to either a Pendant or Charm to cherish forever!

How frickin' awesome is that? I was so excited and apprehensive when my package arrived. Because i knew what was inside, Instead of having Katie or Gracie's drawling converted, I choose to have the only masterpiece i will ever have of my sweet Angel baby Trent Junior's, his hand print!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I open the little silver box to see his tiny hand print converted into a beautiful charm, I couldn't hold back the tears!! It's amazing and will be forever cherished!





Mommy Approved!
I highly recommend this company, easy to order and such awesome friendly staff!

Who wants to win their very own personalize design from Kidz Can Design?? We will be giving one of awesome readers the chance to design their very own charm!!


Good luck!!

DoodleHugs Review!

I'm soooo excited to tell you about this wonderful company called DoodleHugs!
I was contacted by the owner and crafter of these awesome huggable creations, Karon.
Here is a little awesomeness about Karon.

Hi I'm Karon...

Your child's artwork is my inspiration to craft a soft, huggable toy. I will reproduce the design as close as possible using colorful soft fabrics. These custom made soft toys are one of a kind.

I have been a crafter for over 30 years. My hobbies are crafting, sewing and crocheting - usually with my own designs. My craft designs have been featured in national publications.

I have made numerous toys for children and I love seeing them smile with that first big hug.


All DoodleHugs are proudly made in the USA.
If you have any questions or special requests please contact Karon at Karon@doodlehugs.com


How much does it cost?
Prices start at $65 and up, depending on complexity and details in the child’s drawing along with the size of the soft toy. Please email Karon at Karon@doodlehugs.com and attach a copy of the child's drawing for a quote or use the Request a Quote Form. Shipping charges (postage and handling) are $10 for U.S. destinations. For international destinations, a shipping quote will be supplied.

How big is the soft toy?
Usually around 12 to 20 inches wide or long.

How do I send the drawing to you?
You can upload an image of the drawing (jpg, gif, pdf files only) in the Request a Quote Form or you can send it as an attachment to Karon@doodlehugs.com.

How long will it take?
From two to six weeks after payment is processed. Rush orders are possible, but there will be an additional cost which will be quote for you.

What are the toys made of?
A wide range of fabrics that include cotton solids and prints, fleece, felt, flannels, other embellishments, etc. The toys are stuffed with new, hypoallergenic 100% polyester fiberfill. Not intended for children under 3.

What if I’m not happy with the DoodleHug?
Refunds are not provided as these are custom designed one-of-a-kind items. However, once you receive the DoodleHug, if there is a problem, you are welcome to contact Karon and she will try to make adjustments. Additional charges may apply.

Can I specify the fabrics I want or can I send you some fabric (an old favorite piece of clothing or blanket) to be used in the soft toy?
Sure, if it is a fabric she thinks work with, Karon will be happy to incorporate it.

Do you have examples of DoodleHugs?
Please view Karon's gallery by clicking here.


 My Opinion-
I think this idea is so frickin' AWESOME! I am artistic and I can proudly say that I handed down the art gene to Kat! She and I are always doodling or crafting. I still have art work from my youth, I knew I kept them for a reason, to show her where she got her talent from! Ok, we may not be the best artists in the world but, to us we are frickin'  Leonardo da Vinci's LOL
The night I got the email from Karon and showed Kat, she was like a little printing press at the kitchen table with her art pad and crayons.

Katie's current fascination
Zombie girl
(From the mind of Katie)

Kat had a very hard time choosing which one to have Karon make for her.
I told her to go with what is fun and exciting!
So she choose the Zombie girl!!
Which was a fabulous choice! Zombie girl is so adorable(I love the mind of my Kat) She has such a wonderful imagination!

Here is the finished product!!

Kat Loves her Zombie girl!!








We are so very impressed with the details and craftsmanship, if you notice on the photos Karon even made the bite chunk from Zombie girls side, Karon is amazing!
I highly recommend checking her website out and bringing your children's art to life!!

1st Birthday Bash Event-Splash N' Boots Review & GiveAway!


Happy Birthday Month, Gracie Girl!



I would like to present you with our 1st review and giveaway of our 1st Birthday Bash Event!
Gracie absolutely LOVES Splash N' Boots DVD "The Splash N' Boots Show Act II & the CD "The coconuts don't fall far from the tree". Soon as it arrived in the mail, we tore it open and popped it in the DVD player, as the first song got started so did Gracie! She loves to shake her bootata!
I do believe out favorite song and video is "Emma the Dancing Unicorn"!

Cute and Corky, right!
It fits perfectly perfect in to our family, if you read my Facebook then you know how corky, crazy and funny my girls are, never a dull moment!
Here is a little information from the source about who Splash N' Boots are & where they come from!
The history of Splash'N Boots can be traced back to 2003 in Kingston, Ontario Canada. It was there, while attending Queens University, that Taes and Nick performed their first concert together at the local Central Library as part of a class project. After performing 3 original songs to 14 unsuspecting people, Taes and Nick could have stopped there at the height of their game, however, in that fifteen minute show, they realized that there was no going back - Splash'N Boots was born! Splash'N Boots kept on finding places to perform in the Kingston area and then, with money they didn't have, they recorded and released their first album; "Getting our Feet Wet," to a growing fan base. Upon graduation in 2005, to the valid confusion of their parents (and themselves!), Taes and Nick took Splash'N Boots on the road fulltime.
And now from what I hear they are aired on Canada's TV version of Nickelodeon! Pretty awesome if you ask me!

 

Buy It: Purchase your own copies online!


Win It: One of our awesome readers will WIN A Cd & Dvd!
