And it's giveaway time!!!

I am one of those people that LOVES giving gifts.  Right now I am dying to get started on Finley's Easter basket but I know (from experience) I will never be able to wait until April!  Last year I started giving her trinkets from her basket before St. Patrick's day.  By Easter it was quite an empty looking basket and I had to go shopping again (not that I minded!).

This rambling brings me to the point of this post...It's finally time for the giveaway. I seriously can't believe we have over 100 followers from 10 different countries.   After thinking for weeks about something that would make the perfect crafty prize for any mom (really for the kids) I decided....what's better than an Amazon.com gift card??? I am giving away a $15 Amazon.com gift card to a random poster (see instructions below).


So if you win you can choose something that will work for your tiny crafter.  (OK really I suppose you could buy whatever you want with it but I am just going to pretend you will use it to add to your collection of art supplies.)  What would I buy???  Here are a couple things that would be in my shopping cart...


Funky Brushes
 

Chunky Paint Brushes


 

Water Colors


 


To enter: You must follow the blog. Then comment on this post telling me what artsy/crafty product you would buy with the Amazon.com gift card. You can get an extra entry by posting a picture of your child creating art or a picture of their artwork on the Paint and Prozac facebook page. Then I will use Random.org to select the winner.  You must enter by Thursday March 10th at 7 pm EST to qualify. The winner will be announced next Friday (March 11th). 

Good Luck,
Ames

    I'd buy some felt! I loved playing with my felt animal safari when I was little and recently saw someone make their own felt scene.

    I'm following.
    & I'd buy some kind of paints & brushes for Bryson. Or maybe some kind of felt & foam packs to cut & do projects with.

    Not so much an art item, but I want to get a new table so the kids can do crafts and it would be theirs just for that!

    Following! Those funky brushes look great! My daughter is just getting into painting, and I can't wait until we can go outside to do it so we don't have to worry so much about the mess!

    I'd get one of three things- some of those triangular crayons for my little guy since he's having a hard time with the round ones, a frame for his first painting (I've been looking for a while!), or an easel since he loves it at the children's museum!

    I would buy either the Alex Toys My Giant Busy Box, or the Melissa and Doug Deluxe Standing Easel. The easel would be great because Cami could be on one side while Colton is on the other, they could paint at the same time, and Cami wouldn't have to worry about Colton painting on her paper!

    My son is too young right now (5 weeks tomorrow), but I would totally get him some bath crayons to use when he gets older. I used to love those things. It was great being able to draw on the (bathtub) walls!

    I would get some finger paints! Although I shudder to think of how it would go for the first time with my 15 month old! I think we'd have to wait till it's warmer out so we could do it outside and avoid having a huge mess in the house!

    I would DEFINITELY buy those Melissa and Doug crayons. I have been looking for something that my Son would probably Not try and eat!!! I think the regular crayons just look like his twizzlers that he loves so much.
