We thought it was going to be muddier at the fairgrounds, but hot feet didn’t stop MAM from being the cutest shutterbug there!
Winners!
So I’ve emailed all of the winners, and have heard back from all of them, making it official! Here are the winners from last week’s fantastically fun Bloggy Giveaways: Christmas in July! They are listed Friday – Monday because, uh, well, because they are:
Friday: Baby’s First Christmas Photo Keepsake Lilith
Thursday: Horton Hears a Who Kathleen
Wednesday: Living on Baby Time Shannon
Tuesday: inspi(RED) Zeitersouth
Monday: Trimming the Tree Jennifer
Thank you for entering all week long, and thank you for your fun stories in the comments. I completely intend to do a “greatest hits” compilation of sleep-deprived moments–they are HILARIOUS! (And make me feel much better about my formula/coffee debacle)
As you’ve probably heard (will I ever stop talking about it?) Hallmark made my hubby into an award winning dancer. Now they are ready to make *you* into a greeting card writer. Seriously.
Now that this give away has you thinking snow, check out the latest Hallmark contest–the challenge is to create a simple, sendable holiday greeting incorporating (RED). The winner gets his or her card turned into a photo card as well as a traditional folded card, $1000 prize money and a trip to NYC to present the Global Fund with a check for $1000 as well. I do have to say, trips to NYC via Hallmark are a ball, and I hope you can all be winners with them some day–it’s a great time! (The bonus about this prize? You don’t have to listen to “You Can’t Touch This” a billion times) You can find all of the details at hallmark.com/you.
Christmas in July: A Photo Keepsake
**UPDATED: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! STAY TUNED FOR WINNERS!**
If it is late Thursday/early Friday and you are reading this, congratulations! You have made it to the end of the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival! My last giveaway of the week is up for grabs…links for the four other Keepsake Ornaments are at the bottom of this post.
We love photos here at Casa de Crazy. BgK actually photoblogs continuously throughout the day. People call and ask how our trip to the zoo was before we are even home, because they are following us on the Internet. (In a grandma type way, not stalker. At least I think not stalker…)
Anyway, today’s ornament captures that very special first Christmas moment. I remember MAM’s first Christmas–she had five “special” outfits, I think, and mostly we dressed her up and put her in front of Christmas trees everywhere we went. It was still a grown-up Christmas–at four months old, she had no interest in the Christmas Magic or making lists or seeing (or being frightened of) Santa.
This year, I’m sure AFM’s first Christmas will be far less tranquil. For starters, I’m sure he won’t have five special outfits (boys are so different!), and mostly we’ll be chasing his sister, past any Christmas trees we might see, I’m sure.
But it will still be great. And it will be his first Christmas. And we will photograph it. Which finally brings me to today’s ornament–a Baby’s First Christmas Keepsake Ornament. Do you love it? Do you want it for a baby in your life? I do!
To win, please enter one comment, just tell me who’s going to be gifted this ornament–your child, niece, nephew, grandchild, godchild, best friend…..you can get one extra entry by linking this giveaway to your own blog, just tell me in the comments. US and Canada readers only….and you don’t have to have a blog, just be sure to leave a valid email address!!
