Life is Art…Giveaway CLOSED

Congratulations #83 Pam, You Won!

 

When Tara, from Life is Art emailed me I was so thankful! She sent me a beautiful gift for our home, simply as a kind gesture. She let me choose a print and even had it framed for me!!! I was in love with this print and it is hanging beautifully on my dining room wall…

A bit about Life is Art…

Tara and her husband work in ministry as house parents for troubled teens. They are also the parents of 3 small children and 1 on the way! Their dream is to homeschool their children! Tara’s husband {and sometimes Tara} takes the photographs and Tara edits them and creates the final images which end up in Life is Art! This small business adventure is a way to help bring in extra finances while honoring God at the same time.

I pray you will check out Tara’s website and see if there is a piece of art she and her husband have created that would fit perfectly in your home or as a gift for someone you love! Supporting the business adventures of others who work in ministry is a passion of mine! You can see links for the different pieces of artwork that are available on their site here or see how to request a custom print here.

Guidecraft ~ Interlox Review {and giveaway}

Guidecraft has amazing open ended building toys. Recently we were sent a set of Interlox, and all 3 of my kids love them!

They all enjoyed them, but Pac Man loved them the most!  He loves building toys, so these were right up his alley!

Here is the first motorcycle garage…

Which was then renovated to a MUCH fancier version as you can see!

The little ones enjoyed them also, making airplanes and butterflies. ;-)   

We also sorted by color, lined them up to make a long train and have played with them many times since this day!  The price is great for this set and they are a wonderful addition to any child’s building supplies!

BUY IT!

You can purchase the 96 piece Interlox on the Guidecraft site.  They also sell them on Amazon.

WIN IT!

Cindy from Along the Way  is hosting the giveaway this month! Head on over to enter to win.

This product was given to me for review purposes, and I do not have to return the product to the vendor. I was not paid for this post. All opinions expressed in this post are mine.

Flag Page ~ Review & Giveaway CLOSED

Congratulations #114 Hailey-You Won!!!

I was introduced to the Kids Flag Page while at Relevant this past October. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was but was very curious! I was given a free copy to review, just knowing Pac Man would love it! We had a nice time together working through the process, and he enjoyed the 1 on 1 time the most.

He was a tad bit upset that it wasn’t a game {he had seen the box and got confused!} but once he got over that, he enjoyed the process!

I enjoyed reading the book, especially the portions specific to his Home Country {Peace} and Adopted Country {Fun}. Although some of it seemed off to me, the parts that were ON really touched my heart and honestly convicted me in some areas. He and I are not the same and I struggle with that often. I adore him, but I need to do a better job being sensitive to him and his unique personality. Although I did not complete a page for myself, I believe I would be the exact opposite of him-Control and Perfection! We are a mess of a combination, but we love each other dearly and that’s what matters most!

Here’s a photo of his completed page {with his name left off}

When Krash gets old enough, I plan to do it with him too ~ he is a bit too all over the place to even consider it right now! ;-)

Here is what is included in the entire kit, everything you need to complete a Flag Page for up to 3 children, and the book to go with it. It really is a neat process and I am really glad we had the opportunity to do this.

BUY IT

You can purchase the Flag Page here on the Family Matters website. They are offering my readers a 20% discount using the following code: BLG042011KFP {copy and paste the code to get the o/0 correct!}
