This week at Toddler Crafts we are hosting a giveaway of labels/stickers with Uprinting!  Click Here to find out more about it!

This past weekend I tackled getting the Huge Art Contest Voting Organized.  I went with using survey monkey as it seemed the smoothest to use and easy for participants to just click the button on each piece of artwork that is their favorite.  So if you haven’t voted yet, please go vote!

I have also been working on the Giveaway Raffle!!  Winners for the Giveaway and Contest will be announced Monday June 20th.  I used Random.org to generate the winners of the giveaway.

I have also been working on my other blog Making Money Quick .  This is a blog about making money online.  I started it after making money as a freebie trader for a while.  I have taught how to win a laptop and other gifts on my blog and how to earn money online on this blog.  When I began to learn about other methods of making money online and expanded it beyond just freebie trading.   I have been neglecting it lately, since I have spent most of my time on Toddler Craft and actually freebie trading!  So I plan on continuing that work this week.  I am going to use the information from Crowd Mountain(which I used for Toddler Craft).  Crowd Mountain has been wonderful for me!!  I have learned so much about seo optimization, traffic generation and so much more!!  I was familiar with the basics before beginning Crowd Mountain but the set up of the training programs and lessons made me much more effective and get huge results! Now I need to implement it on my other blog!

What have you been tackling this week?

I once again had to tackle my daughter’s closet!  She is very independent and loves to get dressed herself which is great.  The down side of that is that she is always going through her drawers and closet and not quite putting things back the right way.  Not that I can expect that at 4 years old!  So here is stage 1 of the tackle!!

I have to do this every couple of days!! Next time I need to get rid of some more stuff in there!  There is just to many shoes and clothes.

My other tackle for the week is getting the word out about my HUGE ART CONTEST and GIVEAWAY!!  Go Check it out!! There are some fabulous prizes.

What has your tackle been this week?  Share it in the comments below.  Make sure to go check out others tackles too!

Just wanted to remind you that tomorrow Monday June 29 is the beginning of the HUGE art contest and giveaway at Toddler Craft.  I am really excited about all the prizes that have been donated!!  Look for the Mr. Linky to go up tomorrow and post the link to your art work there.  For details on how to enter you can see the Art contest and Giveaway Page.  I will be posting the great prizes offered tomorrow!!  Stay Tuned!!

I recently had the pleasure of reading Catch those Monkeys by Jessica Ziegler of Story Tots.  It was an entertaining book about a little mischivous monkey who loves balloons and a hero who saves the day.  The book also has adorable illustrations.  But, what made it even better was that it featured both my son and daughter in the book!  All of Jessica’s books at story tots can be personalized by name and you can design the characters so that they look like your son and daughter.  There are even a couple that you can customize for 2 children! I chose Catch those Monkeys and it had the option of having two personalized characters.

When ordering the book you first choose if you want the character to be a boy or girl.  Then you are able to choose from  various hair color, styles, skin tone and you can even choose to add freckles and glasses.  Then you put in your child’s name and you are done!  It takes about 2 weeks to get the books.  There are 5 stories to choose from.

When I first showed the book to my kids and showed them who the hero’s of the story were they were really excited.  They couldn’t wait to get started.  My daughter was beside herself and kept saying “so is that me?!” pointing to her character.  Throughout the book she would say “that’s me, I thought of that idea !” meaning the heros idea to save the day!  It is so much fun to see her reaction.  These books are great gifts for kids!

StoryTot’s also has a newsletter that has:

• Fun projects
• Holiday and party ideas
• Plus the latest StoryTots news and announcements

You know how I love that!!

These are wonderful books that make a special gift and Jessica of StoryTots has offered to GIVE ONE AWAY TO ONE OF THE WINNERS OF THE ART CONTEST!!   I am so excited because this will be a special prize for one of the kids who wins!  Thank you Jessica for sending us this great book and offering to give one away!!
