These handmade toys are new additions to The Mud Pie Makers' Etsy shop this week. 20 different trinkets are hidden among the pellets for children to "spy" out in the clear window.

*Our 100th Post! Original Painting Giveaway!*

cel·e·brate [sel-uh-breyt] commemorate occasion, achievement

This is a special day for us. The Christmas season is already in full swing and now, to top it all off, today marks our 100th blog post.  When Kylee and I joined forces to start this blog last April, we blindly entered the world of mom-blogging, hoping we wouldn't get "blogged down" in the process. So far we have learned a lot, met many great moms and received lots of encouragement from you all. We are feeling very blessed!

In order to officially toot the ceremonial horn on this special day, we are offering this fun giveaway.  Our goal is to reward our current friends while also meeting many more new friends.

We are offering 2 large (11X14 each) original acrylic paintings on canvas.  These paintings were designed and created by me (Tara) and contain a background acrylic painting, paper details (tree and words), as well as thread which is hand sewn into the canvas to attach the letters.

Here are a few more detailed images:

Here are the Rules!

• We are in love with you, our current fans, but we would love to see our infant blog grow even more.  Our challenge is to spread the word about us to your friends and family--we'd love to meet many new great folks just like you.  If you are already a member on our blog, then you already have an entry to win!
• Once our members on this blog reach the magical number (100) we will randomly select 1 fortunate fan and ship these paintings straight to you (as long as you are a U.S. or Canadian resident!)
• Don't like those odds? Better your chances to win something by commenting on this post and you will automatically receive an entry to win our second place prize.  Do you love Amazon.com? So do we.  Comment on this post and receive an entry for a $10 Amazon gift card. It's that simple.

The winners will be chosen when our blog members number has officially reached 100 so keep checking back regularly!  We are thankful for you and hope you enjoy many special memories with friends and family this season!

Giveaway! Set of two Acrylic Paintings via I Can Teach My Child!

We are wrapping up our Teepee giveaway here, but never fear! We have another great opportunity for you to win something this week. Our friend at I Can Teach My Child is sponsoring a giveaway this week that includes two coordinating paintings that I (Tara) created. 

If you want a chance to win the paintings, the details are all right here. Thanks, and once again, Good Luck!

TeePee Giveaway!!!

It is time for our biggest giveaway yet!

As I think back to one of my favorite childhood toys, I remember the teepee my mom made for us and the hours we spent playing inside.  I asked Kylee if she could make a teepee, and of course she came through!  It is awesome--the creative opportunities with this 6 ft tower of fun are endless. The best thing about this teepee is that it easily folds together for collapsible storage under a bed or in a closet.  Boys and girls alike will LOVE camping out in the living room under the big top of your very own teepee.

**THIS TEEPEE CAN BE YOURS!  Here are the contest rules!**

The contest begins today, Sept. 5th and ends on Monday Sept. 12th.  The winner will be announced on Tuesday, Sept. 13th.


1. For your first entry, simply join us here on the mud pie makers and leave a comment. If you are already a follower, just leave a comment under this post!


2.  For a second entry, join us on Facebook!  If you are already a Facebook fan, please leave a comment on our wall about the Teepee giveaway!


3.  For a final entry, tell your friends! Spread the word about our Teepee giveaway and The Mud Pie Makers.  Have your friend tag your name on our Facebook wall to receive a 3rd entry.


Thanks so much and good luck!


technicalities!
**Due to the size of this prize, we need to talk briefly about shipping! The poles on this teepee are over 6 ft. tall.  If our winner is outside the Greenville area and the teepee needs to be shipped, we will be happy to ship the cloth teepee without poles directly to you.  You can easily have custom poles cut at your local hardware store and we will send instructions.  IF you want the teepee sent WITH poles, we will need to charge additional shipping cost.
This giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents only.
