June 2015 chipmunk special web (1 of 1)

 

I have some very happy news for you today.  Earlier this year I fell in love with The Fierce Chipmunk, an etsy shop of pure awesomeness.  Like, fell hard.  I mean, people, she had me with the red mushrooms. And little flocked deer? Oh my.  

I had this brief, fleeting, DIY fantasy idea that went something like, "I should make something like this…."  Then I got my hands on these beautiful pieces and well, laughed uproariously at myself.  There is handmade and there is homemade, if you know what I mean.  One glance and Katie's fabulous workmanship is evident.  Not only is her vision to die for, her handwork is superb.   Totally impressed all around.

I was so impressed that I hoped to share the love with another of my friends.  Katie will be giving away one of her whimsical felted floral crowns to a lucky reader this weekend.  You in?  Here's the deal.  Leave a message in comments here to enter the drawing, then hop over to The Fierce Chipmunk on Facebook and "like" the page. That's all.  You're in. : )  If you link up on your own blog or facebook we will toss your name into the hat a second time, doubling your chances.  This pair of picnic-ers will draw a name from their basket on Saturday and Katie will send off a crown to the winner.  

(delivery is only possible to regular US and APO addresses) 

May you enjoy yours as much as we have been….

The crown is glorious needless to say, but I have to plug the tiny deer.

And the mushrooms. 

 

I really do.

Luck of the Irish – math materials giveaway!

Here it is folks!  I am pleased to be able to offer you a chance to have your own set of the wonderful Speed Math game cards which I reviewed last fall here. Speed is a Montessori-inspired card game which makes learning and practicing the multiplication tables painless. Better than that, it makes it just plain fun.  I can attest that my children ask to play all the time.  Coupled with our Multiplication mat, even our first grader can play.

You can visit Julie's website to see a video of the game in action.
