Gutzy Gear Party and Giveaway

I was recently offered the opportunity to have a party to share an awesome product with my friends and my readers. This fun new product is called Gutzy Gear, and they're patches for your backpack.

The cool thing about them is that you can swap them with your friends, since you don't sew these on... they velcro to a cool strap cover, so you can swap them to your heart's content!

We had a product party at our house, with several friends. We played Gutzy Bingo (many many times, the kids loved it!), we had snacks, played Gutzy Dominoes and they created their own Gutzy!

Then we got down to the nitty gritty... choosing their Gutzy patches! Since we had fewer kids than we were supplied for, the kids got to choose several patches each, and there was much discussion and trading. Finally they all had backpacks covered in the patches they wanted (although who would have thought that popcorn and french fry patches would be the most popular??!)

Several kids left before we did photos, so we're missing some (and I blacked out faces for privacy reasons). But don't these look like fun?!

Gutzy has several different lines of patches, but they have Spongebob, Marvel, Spiderman and even Monster High! My kids are already begging for more.

Since I have a couple spare sets of Gutzies, I'm giving away 3 sets (shown in the first photo in this post). Each set contains 2 straps, the Gutzy that comes with them, and 2 additional Gutzies (one pack). One set is girly, so I will do the best to accommodate my winners to make sure that everyone gets one that they'd use.

Making lunches for school...

I am SO obviously not up to par on my box lunches! This is amazingly creative and I'm jealous (both of their creativity and the time they have to pack a lunch!)

Wordless Wednesday... Breech car delivery

School Speed Limit Madness

I saw this on Facebook today and at first I thought it was Photoshopped, but I found out that this is an ACTUAL speed limit sign in the Detroit area! I'd go nuts trying to figure out how fast to drive... would you?

Creativity for Kids party and giveaway

I recently had an amazing opportunity to have a party to share Creativity for Kids craft kits (by Faber-Castell) with several of our friends, and we had a blast!

Here is just a few of the items we received:

We started out making the tote bags, since they were simple enough for the kids to do without supervision. They LOVED making them, and even my 2 year old made one!

We moved on to making Pop-Art necklaces, which the girls loved to make, especially since they could customize them, by coloring the art themselves, changing up the beads and adding jewels! The only downside is that the bales (rings) that held the pendant to the necklace kept opening up and they were falling a lot.

Here's just a few of the necklaces the girls made (they could've kept making these for hours!) We had a quick snack and moved on to headbands and bracelets, where things got more difficult. The packaging for both craft kits show lots of amazingly creative accessories, but they were too difficult for most of the girls there to handle, so we made simpler ones.

One thing that was a HUGE help to us was a bag of clothespins! We clipped them on the ribbon where we glued them to the headbands and bracelets, and left them there until the glue dried. No slippage and it was a quick and easy solution!

My very favorite is the rainbow colored bracelet! I wish it was big enough for me, but alas, my daughter will get to wear it...

All the kids also went home with goody bags! They had mosaic trinket boxes and Fashion coloring and ARTivity books, so the creativity could continue at home.

We had an amazing time! I would definitely buy some of these kits for other kids in our life, although I'd save the bracelets for slightly older girls.

Want to try some of these for yourself? I'm giving away 3 grab bags of craft kits from the party, with at least 2 kits in each prize pack.
