Baby Announcements-$50 Tiny Prints Giveaway

December 7, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 107 Comments

I’m sure many of you have already heard of Tiny Prints. They are no strangers in the blogger market. I recently had the opportunity to work with them and let me tell you it was a total joy! I was able to design, print and send my baby announcements through them and let me tell you it was so nice to have everything run smoothly and easily with a task like this during the holidays!

All I had to do was pick a theme (there were a ton of adorable ones to choose from) and then alter the wording and upload my pics (taken by the amazing Tamra from Modern Expressions Photography). It was fast and they turned out just perfect for our little guy.

Tiny prints even has a mailing service where you can upload your address list and they will do all the work of addressing and sending them out for you! This is a huge bonus in my book. I did not want to sit and address envelopes while trying to keep two kiddos happy. I had them mail most of mine out and had a few sent to my house to hand deliver to family I knew I would be seeing in the next couple of weeks.

The announcements I ordered were printed on a heavy duty cardstock (for some reason I thought they would be on a photo paper of some sort) and came with good quality white envelopes. I can’t wait to hand them to family and friends as they are a product I am really happy with.

My 3 yr old son was a big fan of the gift pack! Here was what I found this morning after sleeping in. He found his own breakfast. Both box lids were torn open and when he couldn’t open the bag he found a scissor. He even put them in a bowl and then proceeded to yell up the stairs, “Daddy, I got some food!” Way to go kiddo!

Chex and Kroger provided me with the free product, information, and giveaway through MyBlogSpark.

Just Dance Kids Giveaway-NOW CLOSED

November 22, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 117 Comments

We are a dancing family. Two of us were on drill teams and three of us were on college ballroom dance teams. We love to dance and we’re not scared to show it. About a month ago my sister was in a competition at work with the other Vice Presidents to see who would be the champion of “Just Dance” while dressed up as past cast members from Dancing with the stars (she was a pregnant Bristol Palin). We had a crazy fun time practicing for her competition so when I was asked to review “Just Dance Kids” I jumped at the chance!

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61RyFPDpMML._SL500_AA300_.jpg

We started off with my 3 year old, 7 year old niece and their aunt. My son dropped out quickly not quite understanding he was supposed to copy the people on the tv (who were real kids BTW not animation, my sister was really surprised by that). He just watched, but my niece and sister had a great time.

We found there were three different modes: dance party (continuous songs without returning to menu), freeze and shake mode (gain extra points for shaking or standing still when queued), and team play (dance together for one score). The team play option may be good for smaller kids who feel bad when they lose. Then everyone can just celebrate what a big score they got together.

It didn’t take long for us to wear out the kids and then it was the aunts turn to try it out. I think they may have had more fun than the kids. I had a good time watching and collecting blackmail footage.

Being the only one not participating in the dancing (too paranoid two weeks after a c-section) I noticed that there were words to the songs at the bottom of the screen and began to sing along. It’s the prefect little karaoke opportunity for those who don’t want to or can’t dance.

After playing for a while we realized that whoever was holding the green controller got a considerable advantage and usually won. There was one point, as you can see in the video below, where my son actually put his controller away on the charger and still won his cousin who danced the entire time. I’m not sure if it was an issue with the controllers, but it was odd. We are not sure how the scoring is recorded and how to get the highest score, but we sure had a lot of fun.

Afterward, I asked my niece what she thought of the game.
She said, “It was awesome!”
“Oh, so you liked it?” I said.
“I didn’t like it, I loved it!” she said.
“What was your favorite part?” I said.
“I liked the ABC song.”

Won’t she be surprised when she finds this under the tree!!

Do you want one under your tree too?! Ubisoft is giving away a Just Dance Kids game to a lucky Tipsy reader! (must be located in the continental U.S.)

Boy Week: Fall Down Tree Print Giveaway

November 17, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 86 Comments

I am super excited about today’s giveaway. I ran across Fall Down Tree (a local Utah artist) while on etsy and immediately fell in love with his prints. They are so whimsical and fun! I had such a hard time deciding what print I wanted to review. First, I wanted this “Peter Pan” print which is my son’s current favorite movie, but quickly realized I had no where to put it.

Then, I wanted the “Dino Kids” or “Dino Sore” prints for my 3 year old’s new paleontology room, but quickly realized I already had items for each wall.

I totally want “Hung Out to Dry” for my laundry room, but knew it did not fit with the theme of Boy Week, but alas I found the perfect print for my house.

“The Truck Stops Here” print is just perfect for my transportation themed nursery. I have an empty wall looking lonely where it will fit perfectly. See that square frame in the first pic below? Ya, it now resides in my kitchen holding son’s artwork so that poor little piece of wall stands alone.

Not for long. I just need to find the perfect frame because a Fall Down Tree print can’t just go in any old thing. The prints are on a white linen textured cardstock with a matte finish so they would even look great without glass giving a canvas effect.

And did you see that I already have a vintage red truck sitting on the shelf? (Don’t ask why that random bank is in its bed) It was a gift from Grandma and Papa that I just adore.

The Truck Stop Here is going to be the perfect addition to renew the nursery for our new little one. Now with a new baby comes gifts, but you know by now that the gifts are not for me, they are for you!

Fall Down Tree is giving away a $15 Gift Certificate or 8×10 print of your choice!

To enter: Visit Fall Down Tree and tell me which print you would choose.
