Congratulations!

I just sent you a Twitter comment since I couldn't find your email address - I hope you get it!

Please send me your address so I can mail off your new Curly Q sampler!

I would like to apologize to all my blog readers about the delay in picking the winner of the Curly Q GIVEAWAY. I've had so many things happen at once that I got behind with my blog.

First off I went to visit friends and family in Mississippi for 5 days, when I got home my husband came home for a week after 8 weeks at work so I've been spending a lot of time with him and Serenity, and then on top of all that I got a weird error (bX-4wpugp) on my Curly Q blog when I tried to see the post or comments!

Busy couple of weeks!

So I would like to send the winner, Nikki some of my clippies as part of the Curly Q GIVEWAY to help make-up for the long wait!

The following clippies will be added to your prize:



I hope your little girl likes them!


A HUGE thank you to everyone who entered!


Please stay tuned for a NEW giveaway this week!

Have fun!

Blog Swap w/A Little Tipsy: A Fun Blog LOADED w/Amazing Tips!

Hi There! I am so excited to be here on Treasures for Tots today! Angie is great and I so need to jump on the felt food bandwagon and make some of her adorable veggie lasagna!

Michelle, from A Little Tipsy here, taking the wheel for the day!

Nope not drunk (what a relief you will not be taking your tour with a drunk driver), I may or may not be a bit clumsy though.

A little about me, I am a SAHM with one crazy two year old boy and a big geek for a husband (don't worry, he calls himself a geek). I love keeping busy and sharing all my projects and adventures whether they be Home decor, holiday projects, or discovering how to get permanent marker off granite counter tops.

Here are a few of my favorite projects as of late. Everything below has a tutorial so you can make it too:

I recently did a whole week dedicated to fun baby things I made for my brand new niece. Here are a couple of highlights.

DIY baby legs with matching Scrappy hair accessories

Ribbon Embellished Burp Cloths

I have a crazy little two year old boy so we have lots of fun activities for the kiddos too!

Family Tree File Folder Game (free printable)



Building your own Cardboard Castle



Right now, we are also giving away a 16x20 Photo Canvas from Canvas Press ($115 value with shipping) so be sure to hop on over and enter!

Well, I guess that about wraps things up. Thanks to Angie for swappin' it up and thanks to you for letting me be your tour guide today. Watch your step on the way out and don't forget to come visit soon!

GIVEAWAY: Curly Q's!

Curly Q Sample Kit - The Essentials + Curly Q Milkshake

One of my readers will have the chance to win this awesome kit valued at $20!

The amazing thing about Curly Q's is it will work on ALL wavy/frizzy/curly hair types - I promise! I've been using Curly Q's on Serenity's hair for 2 years now, and it's just amazing.

In the pictures below, Serenity has four ponytails in her hair. In the first picture her hair is twisted into ringlets, and in the other picture her hair is poofed out! I used Curly Q's for both of those hairstyles!

To see what her hair looks like before and after Curly Q's, check out my blog post, Taming that Mane!



In the Curly Q's Essentials kit you will receive:

*Curlie Cutie Cleansing Cream - a wonderful shampoo that will NOT dry out hair.
*Coconut Dream Conditioner - leaves hair so soft and manageable.
*Moist Curls Moisturizer - a detangler that works miracles and has a pretty scent (no alcohol-y smell)
*Curly Q Milkshake - my favorite leave-in conditioner, super-hydrates curls without weighing down hair or leaving it oily.


BONUS:
For 15% off your entire purchase at Curls, just enter this coupon code exactly (or you can copy & paste the code): treasures4tots
Coupon code is good til April 18, 2010!



To Enter:

I love this idea! A couple of years ago I brought Serenity (she was just a baby) and my friend's little girl to see the Doodlebops in New Orleans. Since I was so worried I'd lose Kelsey in the crowd, her Mom and I decided to write on her arm in permanent marker "If lost please call" on one side of her arm and my cell phone number on the other side.


It would've been so nice to have a cute Safety Tat back then!

Safety Tats are perfect for all those upcoming Summer vacations, Zoos, parks, Disney, concerts - you name it! They last for days, tons of designs available to choose, and kids love them!


Safety Tats are also available for special needs, allergies, and medical alerts!

iTouch: Cases & Games

Serenity's had her iTouch for a while now and loves playing on it. I listed a few of the games she's already tried in my An iTouch for a 3 year old? post, but I thought I'd give y'all an update and list a few more games she's tried (and likes), a new case, and the screen protector I think is the best value.


Games:

Itsy Bitsy Spider (99¢) - I've listed this one before, but it's worth repeating. This is a whole lotta game for only 99¢! Tons of interactive features and Serenity loves playing it over and over!

Sally's Spa ($2.99) - I got this for my iPhone and Serenity wanted it too. It didn't cost anything extra. She's able to do the easy levels pretty good and she's totally hooked.

Doodle Buddy (FREE) - Another free drawing app, but she likes this one better than Scribble Lite.

How To Train Your Dragon Mix & Match Book ($2.99) - She has lots of fun playing with this one. You mix and match the dragon parts to put a little twist to the story!

DizzyBee (FREE) - Very challenging and she likes how you have tilt the iTouch to get that fat little Bee to move!

Where's Gumbo? (FREE) - She plays along and shouts out when she finds Gumbo.

Cookie Doodle (99¢) - Another one I see her playing pretty often. She concentrates very hard too!

Weet Woo! ($3.99) - She's getting to be pretty good at scrolling through all the fun kid's videos with this program. It doesn't work without a WiFi connection so I put it on my iPhone too (no extra costs).

Five Little Monkeys (99¢) - What can I say? This one is addicting! She likes singing the song and the cool interactive features.

Bayou Beats (FREE) - It's free and it's about Princess Tiana - enough said!

Signing Time ($4.99) - I've had some of the Signing Time videos for a couple of years - she's always loved watching them. She's known the sign for "eat" since she was around 7 months old. She thinks it's really neat that it's on her iTouch now!

Dress Up With Angelina Ballerina (99¢) - Another one she's addicted to. Lots of fun to dress up Angelina - tons of clothing combinations!

Traffic Rush (FREE) - She saw me playing and had to have it too. Fun to play!

Colorama (99¢) - This coloring app has so many coloring pages (with the option to buy more "books" for 99¢) and plenty of colors. She likes this one a lot too!


Cases:

I mentioned the pink Speck PixelSkin case that I bought for Serenity's iTouch, but when I saw the iTouch Defender Series by Otterbox I can't wait until it's available! It's the perfect case for young children!

While looking around at the different Otterbox cases on Amazon, I came across the Otterbox Semi-Rugged Skin for the iTouch 2G. It must be discontinued because I didn't see in on the Otterbox website. The Semi-Rugged skin covers a lot more area than the Speck PixelSkin. I read on the reviews that it will fit an iTouch 3G too so I bought it.

It fits great! It's well-made, a little snugger than the PixelSkin and covers more area. I just wish I could've found it in more colors than white.

Both the PixelSkin and the Semi-Rugged Skin offer pretty good protection for the iTouch with a low and reasonable price-tag.


Screen Protectors:

Until I can get my hands on the iTouch Defender, Serenity's iTouch has to have a screen protector. I blogged before about the Belkin screen protectors and I have to say they did a good job, but they are expensive. I paid over $10 for a 3-pack at Target.

Serenity went through that small pack in no time. She scratched at them, touched them when her hands were dirty, and even scratched at a few bubbles I couldn't get out. She didn't damage the iTouch - so they certainly did their job protecting the screen.

Well after going through those so fast, I started hunting around for something cheaper. I found a 12-pack of screen protectors by Screen Guard on Amazon for only $4.28 and free shipping! That's an awesome deal so I bought 2 12-packs. Not bad - less than $9 for 24 screen protectors.

Oh! And I know it's listed for a 2G iTouch - but they will fit the 3G too.

The screen protectors were very easy to apply (I didn't have any bubbles!) and so far it's doing a good job protecting Serenity's iTouch from, well - Serenity!


I hope y'all found this helpful!

POST-IT-NOTE: I bought the Screen Guard protectors pretty cheap for my iPhone too!


Have fun!
