Personalized Name Pillows e-book Giveaway

Well it is finally here! Our first giveaway! I am so excited to be doing this particular giveaway because I absolutely love to make hand-made items and You can Make This. The nice people at You Can Make This asked me to review the Personalized Name Pillows e-book from Kimberbell Kids. I immediately said yes because I knew that my two little girls would love to have one of their own. This is a great item that looks like a million bucks but costs you very little.

The great thing about ebooks from You Can Make This is that you can easily download your item from a secure website and begin creating tonight. The Personalized Name Pillow book includes the pattern, alphabet upper and lower case cut-outs and easy instructions. What more could you ask for? Pictures? Why yes there are photos that go with each step to give you a better understanding of what you are doing. This ebook is written with the beginner in mind but has the opportunity to showcase the advanced techniques as well. I have made two of these pillows for birthday gifts. The hardest and longest part of the whole process was choosing the fabric! Everything is explained well and all directions can be followed easily. Do you have an embroidery machine? They also have the same ebook at their sister site SWAK embroidery with the alphabet as embroidery files! What a time saver, this author thought of everything!

You may be wondering what is YCMT? Here is a brief description taken from their website:

• YouCanMakeThis.com was created by a stay-at-home mom who wanted to provide a place where women could learn how to make items for their homes and families. The site is unique because the eBooks and patterns are written by "everyday" women. The step-by-step format of the eBooks enables even the most craft-challenged person to experience the satisfaction of creating something beautiful.


• YouCanMakeThis.com provides easy to follow how-to eBooks on a variety of projects. The eBooks feature detailed step-by-step instructions and photos that walk you through the creative process. Popular categories include clothing creation, quilting, crochet, jewelry, home decor, and more.


• In August 2008, YouCanMakeThis.com was awarded outstanding website by iParenting, a premiere Disney media group focused on parents and families.

I love this site so much as well as its sister sites SWAK embroidery and You can quilt this that I have their links on my sidebar.

The Big Spring Contest at Dad Blogs

Growing up my family never had a swingset. It was always fun to go to a friends house who actually owned their very own set...I always wished it was me! My father always took us to the park to play and we would have the best times swinging and sliding all day long, but nothing beats that "backyard swingset".

Now that we have two little girls of our own we know the importance of playtime. It is wonderful to have the girls running around the backyard, chasing balls and playing with sidewalk chalk. Both girls love to have their daddy push them on their swings and the squeals of delight that shake the neighborhood are proof! We currently have a swingset that was given to us by our neighbor after their children grew too old for playing with it. It does the job...the girls love to swing and slide regardless of the way it looks or how old it is.

Springtime is wonderful around here because we have been stuck inside the house for all of winter! We love taking walks and of course swinging! Our dog Sophie loves to run outside and be chased by the girls. That is why we would love to win this playset! We would love to have a safe place where the girls can play and we can keep an eye on them. I would love to give my children the things that I couldn't have when I was a child. I could see my girls playing with their cousins on this set. Their birthdays are both in June and this would make such a great birthday present for them! To top it all off a camera to comemorate the occasion! What a great giveaway!

If you would like to win the Three Ring Adventure playset by Kids Creation and a Cannon powershot SD 1100 digital elph camera, head over to Dad Blogs to enter the giveaway!

Good Luck!
