Summer Fun Giveaway ~ Day Five: PRIZE PACKAGE!!

If I were going to win any of my own giveaways...you know, like rig it so that some random "Laura" wins...this would be the one I would choose! 

But I of course would never do that. ;)

Folks, we have Christy at The Purple Petunia to thank for this adorable giveaway:

A Mini Market Tote

 Personalized, of course.

How perfect would these be to store your reading materials, sunscreen, towel, and insulated cup when headed to the beach or pool?

Or maybe you want to put your family last name on one and use it for library books or a trip to the farmer's market. The totes are collapsible for storage and all the materials are removable for washing. The ribbon on this one can also be interchanged for the season or holiday...making it a fantastic and unique gift idea!

 

Or if you are like me, you might have a busy little daughter 

who likes to carry all kinds of personal belongings around with her. 

Wouldn't this mini market tote be perfection on a long road trip to hold all your darling's activities?

 

And let us not forget our boys! I see a camping trip in your future...

The possibilities are truly endless with these mini market totes.

I am such a sucker for fun stuff that can organize my kids gear, has our name on it, stores easily, AND happen to be the cutest things ever!

Please visit The Purple Petunia on Etsy and snatch up a few of these for all your summer activities.

Now...if you are planning a summer vacation road trip with your child's mini market tote, I thought you would probably need some stuff to put in there and might want a couple super useful and cute activities to add to the basket.

That's right, we have another Prize Package today!! 

Yeah....I LOVE free stuff!

Kazee Kids is offering one Summer Travel Coloring Set of your choice to a lucky winner.

 This hand sewn kit comes with colored pencils and a notepad...

Velcro closes it into the size of a small book.

You will be able to either choose this bird set or this rocket set:

These Coloring Sets are perfect for long car or airplane trips, going out to eat, and quiet time in hotels!

Please go "LIKE" Kazee Kids on Facebook for an extra entry in the contest!

And finally....

yep, one more!

I stumbled upon the sweetest little Etsy site while browsing for my Summer Fun Giveaway called  Kidbiz2010.

You all have GOT to go read their profile! 

They are a family of nine children who have started an Etsy shop to raise money for their summer camps and activities. Six of the kids are adopted and all of the children actually make their products that they sell. When I contacted them to donate one of their I Spy bags to my giveaway, 13 year old Emily responded right away by saying,

 "Yes, ma'am Ms. Laurie. Our Mom says we can." 

Awwww! I just about melted. 

I knew I had to save the best for last because even though their product isn't the flashiest or most expensive item I've showcased, it is very much the one I felt MOST honored to have offered up in my giveaway. 

By the way...what a fantastic mother to have her children put together a business to raise money for their summer fun so that they can afford for all of them to participate. Teamwork, money management, personal satisfaction, and graciousness are just several of the life skills and values taught with this business endeavor. 

Well DONE!

I am very proud to show you their hard work:

As part of today's prize package you will win an I Spy bag to keep your kids busy during all your summer travel. It is a little bean bag with tiny toys sewn inside and a small window so that your child can use the treasure hunt key to look for all the items. I just love this idea! But more, I loved the concept of an adoptive family working together with their talents to sell something useful for other families to enjoy.

Readers, I don't ask anything of you except for the occasional prayer. But may I request that EACH one of you go over to KidBiz2010 and purchase an I Spy bag. For only $10.75 with shipping, you can help this family send their kids to summer camp and receive a great little item for your own crew. Why not buy one for every child you know? I would love for these kids to see the fruit of their labor abound this summer and for my readers to have a big impact in that!

 Purchasing an I Spy Bag is a great way to say:

Way To Go, Kidbiz2010!!

You are part of what makes Etsy SO great.

So there you all have it, the end to my week long Summer Fun Giveaway! Today's prize package (with all shipping costs included) comes to a total of more than SIXTY DOLLARS!
