...three art prints!






Reproduction of the original acrylic painting of Wendel's Workshop from Gold Dust Galleries. Wendel is one of Santa's little helpers and this is his workshop. If you close you eyes really tight (and use your imagination), you can almost see him inside making lots of toys for little girls and boys for the upcoming holiday season!

















Custom Digital Portrait Silhouette from Petit Debutant. Winner will receive 2 high res 5x7 files, one right facing one left facing.
(For personal use only.)












'Tonight, I'm dreaming my way to the moon.'
8 x 8 inch art print from Twinkle Star Art. Featuring a boy blasting off to space in his rocket. He dreams of gazing at the planets and stars through his telescope while flying all the way to the moon.








Three french hens are hiding in a few item listings from EtsyKids members. Find just one of them and you could win one of these art prints!

Today's clue is: MacDonald's abode

12 Days of Christmas with the EtsyKids Team!

Posted Sunday, November 23, 2008

On the first day of Christmas, the ETSYKIDS team members gave to me….a Christmas event you really must see!

November 28th – December 10th, join EtsyKids for 12 days of fabulous, festive fun and dreamy holiday prizes.

Here’s how to play:

Each day the EtsyKids blog will contain a post showing an image that’s hidden in an item listing on a few different EtsyKids team members’ shops, along with a clue on how to find it. When a contestant finds just one of the hidden images, they send an Etsy conversation to the day’s entry collector with a link to the listing where they found it. Once their conversation is received, they’ll be entered into a drawing for an amazing EtsyKids prize. Those who find images for all 12 days are entered into the grand prize drawing!

Participants may use one of two methods to find the images:

1. Begin by looking at each of the 7,000+ EtsyKids listings, or
2. Decipher the clue to the keyword to narrow down the listings to under 100.

The clues are word association to the keyword. After you think you have the keyword, enter that word and "etsykids team" into Etsy's search, and start looking!

Example: Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus...........nativity
Thus, you would enter "nativity etsykids team" to narrow down the listings to hunt through. The clues start out easy, and they get harder!

Please do not post the answers anywhere - all answers will be revealed at the end of the game.

If you don't jump into the game until after it's started, no problem! You can still enter that day's drawing, as well as the remaining days, then go back and find the previous days to enter the grand prize drawing.

The Etsykids blog will also let contestants know who to contact to enter, as well as the prize(s) that will be awarded that day. The number of prizes will increase each day and the winners will be selected at random.

***Contestants can enter once each day.

Within 24 hours of winning, the lucky winners will be contacted via Etsy Conversation, and MUST contact (via Etsy Conversation) the prize donor with their mailing address within 2 days of being contacted. If they fail to contact the prize donor within the given time, a new winner will be selected.

It's International Babywearing Week!

Posted Tuesday, November 11, 2008

Babywearing is a beautiful practice that helps babies feel secure and happy, helps regulate their body temperature and breathing, helps them learn, helps them bond with their caregivers, promotes breastfeeding success and even lets a caregiver get something done! Help us celebrate and promote babywearing this week by checking out all of the great EtsyKids sellers who build the handmade carriers that help us keep baby close.

Here are some of my favorites!

RaeGun offers up these amazing traditional Chinese carriers (Mei Tais), which are great for a super comfortable back carry or very well supported front carry and work well into toddlerhood. And I love the cute little bird!

Slingsandsacks creates sweet wrap style carriers. Wraps are very supportive and comfy, though they take a little learning to use properly.

At BabyPockets I offer my very favorite type of sling - silk ring slings! They are strong, versatile, and quick to get on, and great for newborns to toddlers, though they take more learning than mei tais or pouches to get properly adjusted.

Gorgeousbaby makes beautiful reversible pouch slings! Pouch slings are nice for a tiny one, and they are fitted, so there are no adjustments to make or straps or buckles to fiddle with.

Babeagogo also makes lovely pouch slings and features very clear instructions for measuring to get JUST THE RIGHT FIT.

There are so many other EtsyKids members who sell baby carriers, please check them out. Some may even be featuring a sale this week! I know at BabyPockets we're offering free shipping anywhere through Saturday. Let's whip out those slings and wraps and all enjoy the super snuggle of a great baby carrier together!
